The Records and Milestones thread

[Bijed]

Just somewhere to post whenever someones sets a record or passes a milestone you feel is noteworthy or interesting, especially if it might pass people by for whatever reason

For example, in the currently ongoing SL/India ODI, MS Dhoni completed his 100th ODI stumping, being the first to achieve this.

 

[Bijed]

Oh, and news just in:

Cricinfo
Kohli has become the 100th player to score 10,000 List-A runs. His average is second highest among them behind Bevan (57.86)

 

[fredfertang]

Bijed has just become the first person ever to start three worthwhile threads in CC in less than a week

 

[srbhkshk]

Kohli has also gotten even with Ponting now and has the second highest number of ODI centuries now,

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

30 before 30. That's a milestone yo!

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Hey Lord we greet thee born this happy morning.

 

[Bijed]

Chris Gayle now the first to hit 100 T20I sixes, he's made it to 102 since I went to post this.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The way he was going in this match, he could have easily cracked at least 10 sixes.

Dhoni- 100 fifties

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah

Hey we invented the 100 100s for Sachin, y not the 100 50s for Thala Dhoni?

Tendulkar and Dravid have 164 and 145 50s respectively. 100 50s isn't very notable.

 

[honestbharani]

and yet it was noted. That's my point.

SeamUp pointed it out in the match thread, but for those that missed it, Yasir Shah became the first spinner ever to take a 5fer in five consecutive tests

Unless you count Sydney Barnes as a spinner (the overall record seems to be 6, by Barnes, Charlie Turner and Alec Bedser). Slightly surprised that Murali never achieved this.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hey Lord we greet thee born this happy morning.

It should be "Yea Lord we greet thee..."

O Come All Ye Faithful is perhaps my favourite carol

 

[Bijed]

Kohli has also gotten even with Ponting now and has the second highest number of ODI centuries now,

Kohli now with 31 ODI tons and hence in 2nd place all by himself.

Only 19 to go to overtake Tendulkar! (if we extrapolate and say he plays as many ODIs as Tendulkar whilst maintaining his same rate of tonning up, he'll end up with 71)

 

[vcs]

Should end up with at least 75 international centuries.

 

[OverratedSanity]

31 tons already is absolutely absurd. If he wins a wc off his own bat, or atleast is the top scorer of the tournament, Ill have no hesitation in rating him over Sachin.
