Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[JASON]

OK just run through the top 2 of the greatest records in Batting and bowling in International Cricket and then consider the only other cricket that was played outside of the Ashes and then put 2 and 2 together should not be hard to work out !!

Who are the current incumbent big name record holders ? that should really not be hard.

I have given too many clues here, so I am not giving any more !!

 

[Jamee999]

Most Runs, Highest Wickets?

Sri Lanka vs West Indies.

Allan Border, Shane Warne.

 

[Monty]

most number of combined test and odi runs by brian lara

 

[Monty]

Bangladesh vs England?

 

[Jamee999]

most number of combined test and odi runs by brian lara
most number of combined test and odi wickets by muttiah muralitharan

???

 

[Monty]

tendulkar equaling the number of hundreds with gavaskar

 

[Monty]

attapattu eualing asia's most double hundred records

 

[Monty]

the inly other cricket has been windies vs sri lanka so it could have been gangually getting most odi runs by a sub continet player

 

[JASON]

most number of combined test and odi wickets by muttiah muralitharan???

And finally thats the correct answer !! (among your many answers!! )

Muralitharan over took Wasim Akram during the second Test against Windies in Sri Lanka.

Wasim Akram Test wickets 414 ODI wickets 502

Total wickets in International Cricket = 916 wickets

Muralitharan Test wickets 549 , ODI wickets 377

Total wickets = 549 + 377 = 926 wickets

Murali thus becomes the leading wicket taker in International Cricket surpassing Wasim Akram and soon will become the First bowler in International Cricket History to get 1000 wickets in International Cricket !!

I guess its your turn now !!

Looks like Jamee isn't going to post a Q so I'll keep this going

QUESTION: What is unique about the Cantebury Ground at kent ?

And it's nothing to do with the tree

Interesting feat by Murali, I hadn't even heard of the record coming up or occuring myself as it appears to have been completely ignored!

Could be anything really, something to do with the success rate? Or a batting or bowling record?

 

[Burpey]

Something to do with the pitch

 

[Jamee999]

I have a question.

 

[archie mac]

I have a question.

Lets answer Burkey's Q first, and then you can have the next go Jamee

I remember the last time we had two Qs going at the same time

 

[Jamee999]

The pitch is flown in from another count(r)y?

 

[Burpey]

The pitch is flown in from another count(r)y?

No

Another clue - you probably would have played on one of these pitches as a kid

 

[King_Ponting]

Astroturf?

 

[Burpey]

Astroturf?

Yep ... in 1987 when Australia played England at Canterbury they had to play on a synthetic pitch as rain had ruined the turf pitch. It is the only ODI or Test to be played on such a pitch.

Let Jamee have the opportunity to post the next question if he wants, as he was supposed to ask one instead of me

 

[King_Ponting]

ok. jamees turn then, and after that i'll go after him.
