Three bowlers, all spinners, share that record with 17: Colin Blythe for Kent v Northamptonshire at Northamton in 1911, Hedley Verity for Yorkshire v Essex at Leyton in 1933, and Tom (T.W.J.) Goddard for Gloucestershire v Kent at Bristol in 1939.

Sorry.....I forgot that I had asked a question here

Answer....Left handed batsmen from the two countries have hit One Day International centuries against 10 different nations .
Australia comes second with Left handed centuries against 9 different nations.

West Indies lefties have hit centuries against all 9 test playing nations plus one other nation.

Indian batsmen batting left handed have hit centuries against 8 test playing nations ( West Indies being the exception) plus against Kenya and Namibia.

Bart King - not really an all-rounder in my book, more a bowler who batted.

This is nothing but nitpicking. Most allrounders are either batting all rounders or bowling allrounders. Sobers and Botham types are exceptions. I have seen on this web people calling Akram an allrounder which, inspite of his double century is less true compared to Bart King.

Bart King is thought by many (J.A. Lester, P.H. Clark and numerous other contemporaries) to have been the best American to ever play Cricket. He was a devastating fast bowler. For many years, Bart held the single-season English bowling record of 11.01 set in 1908 against county level teams during an extended summer tour. Here is a very rare photo of him batting. Overshadowed by his bowling reputation, he is not as well known for his exceptional batting, but he does hold the US record with 344 in an innings and had 39 centuries during his career. Many of Bart King's trophies are on display in the CC Morris Library.

This tells us something else about this extraordinary man. Not only was he a quite outstanding fact bowler: he was also an very fine batsman, not indeed world class, as was his bowling, but certainly not to be sneered at. To this day, his 344 for Belmont v Merion B stand as the North American record: he scored 39 centuries in his career and he topped 1,000 runs in a season six times, in 4 of them also taking over 100 wickets. He took over 100 wickets on 4 other occasions also. In his whole career he scored 19,808 runs at an average of 36.47 and took 2,088 wickets at an average of 10.47.

And the ruls are 1 question aren't they?

 

[marc71178]

This feat has only be achived 6 times in the history of ODI

Which is fair enough, but there's been 2 things answered that have happened 6 times in ODIs!
