Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

[we're yorkshire]

Paul Collingwood took 6 for 31, and hit 112 off 86 in the same game, making him the only player in history to take a 6 fer and score a hundred in the same ODI.

Related.

Botham’s the only bloke to take an 8’fer and score a ton in the same match. (108 off 110 and 8/34)

Kallicharran has 206 and 6–32 in an England one-day game. A 60-over minor counties game, but a List A game nevertheless.

The previous record for the most Test wickets by players debuting for a team in the same year was 85 (WI in 1948 and Eng 2003 - Anderson debut year). England have obliterated that record thanks to Atkinson, Bashir, Carse, Hartley, Hull and Bethell taking it to 156!!

Was wondering since Bumrah’s 10’fer thing is still a thing.

I didn’t look at all after I found this initial one.

But Premangsu Chatterjee took 10/20 for Bengal vs Assam in the Ranji Trophy. In the other innings he took 0/38. (both complete innings)

Probably not unique, but fun stat.

Couple of other fun FC stats.

Highest 4th innings chase - 2010 Ranji Trophy, West Zone chased down 536 vs South Zone (541/7) - Jadeja scored a pathetic 1 in the chase though.

And if anyone was paying attention to the 2024 county matches (I certainly wasn’t) Glamorgan almost broke that against Gloucestershire chasing 593. They did however score 592, incredibly giving us a tied match. Notably Bancroft (Gloucestershire) and Labuschagne (Glamorgan) both scored centuries.

2 of Australia’s best spinners at the SCG

Lyon 48 @ 39.62
O’Reilly 7 @ 47.85

and other grounds

Lyon 214 @ 29.32
O’Reilly 52 @ 21.50

If Bumrah plays both remaining matches of the B/G trophy he’ll be second behind Ishant Sharma for most by an Indian bowler in Australia.

Alex Carey replaced Tim Paine as Aussie Keeper. They have now both played 35 Tests and both have the exact same batting average

Paine - 35 tests, 57 inn, 1534 runs @ 32.63
Carey - 35 tests, 52 inn, 1501 runs @ 32.63

Is that particularly absurd or awesome?

Feels kinda absurd that he will already have played more matches in Australia than say, someone like Kapil, or even Zaheer.

Fair enough, the comparison to Ishant threw me a little as they've both played during an era where India have toured Australia quite a bit

Collingwood as an all rounder is underrated.Cricbuzz don't even consider him as all rounder instead of a batsman

Abdul Razzaq is only player to play all 11 positions in batting

Ravi Shastri?

No 4 and 11 (Razzaq is missing 1 as well, but that's more explainable).
