Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[JASON]

I was thinking highest score for a No.12 batsman, see how desperate I am

You are on the right track - move a little lower !!

Highest score for Nos 10 and 11?

 

[JASON]

Highest score for Nos 10 and 11?

Q14 Highest score for Nos 10 and 11 ? No

Move further down.

is the record shared the most deliveries faced by a lower order player 8,9,10 etc and its unlikely to be rivalled cos of 8 ball overs/60 over a side?

Q 15 is the record shared the most deliveries faced by a lower order player 8,9,10 etc and its unlikely to be rivalled cos of 8 ball overs/60 over a side? No.

Clue - It is related to batting position Number 7 . But there's more to the record than just that !

 

[JASON]

What sort of batting record can a batsman at number 7 get in ODIs thats likely to be hard to equal ? Thats pretty simple.

Think of the nature of ODIs and limitations of innings !! It can possibly be bettered if the circumstances allowed . But the nature of ODIs means it will be difficult to even equal let alone better by another !

Did they score a ton?

 

[JASON]

Did they score a ton?

Q16 Did they score a ton ? Yes .
So why the hell is it a record , and who are they ?

 

[SJS]

Does it have to do with scoring a hundred after coming in to bat after the, say, 25th over or something ?

If yes, I hope you havent made a mistake since Kapil, who I would have named much earlier but for the fact that he batted at number six and not seven.

 

[SJS]

Tilakratne and Mohammad Kaif?

I would have said that earlier but I cant link this to the 60 over game which I thought was somehow connected, nor can I see what the record is that cant be equalled.
I am lost

PS: The other thing I notice is that both were playing on neutral venues. Still lost

 

[SJS]

So these two, if thats the answer, got a hundred batting at number seven, which is the highest score for their respective countries at that position in the batting order for ODI's. Both did it on neutral venues.

Both had come into bat pretty late in the innings but I still dont know why this cant be equalled. So I may be totally off track

I think Jason said it was unlikely to be equalled

 

[SJS]

I think Jason said it was unlikely to be equalled

but why ??

BTW. These are the only two century makers at number 7 according to what i can see.

So that is two in how many thousands of games? A low % I suppose that is what he was hinting at?

Thats like saying Tendulkars 35 centuries cant be equalled since it hasnt been done even once in 130 years of test cricket

Lets look at it this way,
India did it once in 605 games.
Sri Lanka once in 473 games.
A lot of the other countries are due to do it you know some over due in fact

Some one once started a thread called 'hear hear let me your hear' I think the point was you can make stats say what ever you want

You disappoint me Archie Mac

It was ...Hear, Hear, Hear : Lend me your Ear

That reminds me there is some work left undone there.

Well done SJS. That is the record. That is the lowest batting position from where a Century has been scored in ODIs. It is difficult to see a number 8 scoring a century in ODIs let alone a number 9,10,11.

**one has to await McGrath to do the unthinkable *

Your turn SJS.

 

[JASON]

I think Jason said it was unlikely to be equalled

I said highly unlikely but plausible if circumstances were such in favour. ie solid partnership, good no.s 8,9,10 in support !

 

[JASON]

Exactly my point !! In nearly 30 years of ODI cricket only 2 number 7s have scored centuries at Number 7. It may take less than a year before a number 8 or 9 scores a century . But the chances are remote .

I rest my case !!

BTW my money for number 8 would be on Brett Lee or Daniel Vettori/Jacob Oram to do it. Unless a front line batsman cames late in the order following an injury and does it !!
