This week we look at the origins of the ODI and of the game itself, the most 10-fors, the best Test bowling analyses, the fastest double-centuries, and the longest games.

This week we look at the big wicket hauls on debut, the double-centuries in a series, the highest duplicate scores, the most powerful hitters, and Ian Botham’s decline.

This week we look at the dual internationals, the high-scoring wicketkeepers, the twin-century makers, the big and early partnerships… and Darrell Hair’s Test debut.

This week we look at the most successful series partnerships, the hat-tricks, the longest waits on zero, and the cases of high run-out and stumped dismissals.

This week we look at the highest scores by bowlers, the batsmen out first ball of a ODI, the doubles which led to results, the new ball laws, and the 2007/08 CB Series.

This week’s article contains the World XI of the past 2 years, as well as the catches records, the tallest players, the umpires of yesteryear, and ODI series whitewashes.
