The Records and Milestones thread

And to make it clearer, if next game Hetty hit 157 and Braithwaite 152, 157 would replace 162 as the new lowest high score in a match where two 150+ scores were hit.

I ******* got it now

Thank you my dear Mister Mister.

Who was the previous holders of the record?

Was it Ponting-Gibbs?

When was the last time 4 wickets fell in an over?

Less than a week ago.

The previous record holder was Brendan McCullum with 166 in this match.

Thanks AMZ. The margin of defeat in that match was something like playing a bot team on FTP.

New Zealand make their highest test total of 6/715 against Bangladesh at Hamilton

Mehidy Hasan concedes the most ever runs by a Bangladesh bowler and sixth overall with 2/246 off 49 overs.

I think one Afghanistani got 4 wickets against Ireland in ongoing series. Or was it t20?

Second captain in less than a month to declared when he reached 200

I think it was the third T20I of that series.

Bangladesh without Shakib away from home is still dire.

Not to take anything away from NZ, that's a monumental score and achievement. Looks like they'll get the win too.

West Indies 73 ball innings in the 5th ODI against England was their shortest ever successful ODI run chase against a Test team, and their second shortest in all ODIs after a 61 ball innings against Scotland in the 1999 World Cup.

 

[a massive zebra]

The 5th ODI between West Indies and England featured England's heaviest ever defeat in the history of 50 over ODIs in terms of balls remaining (227), beating the 226 balls remaining against Australia at Sydney in 2003 and New Zealand at Wellington in 2014.

Chris Gayle's 424 runs in the ODI series against England was the most ever by a West Indian in a 5 match ODI series, beating Desmond Haynes 404 runs against New Zealand in 1985.

 

[Beamer]

Surely some sort of a record:

Chris Gayle 37 sixes.
England 35 sixes

 

[Bijed]

Chris Gayle's 424 runs in the ODI series against England was the most ever by a West Indian in a 5 match ODI series, beating Desmond Haynes 404 runs against New Zealand in 1985.

With the caveat that I don't know if it wasn't the same situation for Haynes, that's particularly impressive given that he only batted four times this series

Haynes batted five times, although his average was higher than Gayle because he was only dismissed three times.

Chris Gayle's 424 runs in the ODI series against England was the most runs ever by an individual batsman in an ODI series in the West Indies between two countries.

 

[a massive zebra]

Chris Gayle's 39 sixes in the ODI series against England is (by miles!) the most sixes hit by an individual batsman in an ODI series, decimating Gayle's own record of 26 in the 2015 World Cup. The record for most sixes by an individual batsmen in an ODI series between two teams was previously 23 by Rohit Sharma against Australia in 2013.

 

[trundler]

That's 234 runs in sixes, holy ****.
