This week, we examine the Test teams’ favourite grounds, the bowlers who enjoyed bowling at certain batsmen, the batsmen who enjoyed touring, the bad declarations, and more.

This week, we look at those who missed the MOTM, the First-Class and Test debuts in the same match, the bowling wicketkeepers, and a lot of records involving opening batsmen.

This week we look at the highest scores in final matches and by number-elevens, the most boundaries in an innings, the workings of the LG rankings and the 300+ ODI scores.

This week we take a look at the most successful teams at chasing runs in the night; the origins of the free-hit; and that most difficult of questions, who was the best bowler?

In the second edition of Ask the Spider, we bring you the most successful wicketkeepers, the lbw record, the inflated averages, and the truths about the myths of bowling speed
