Any Statistics or Records wanted?

That's hilarious.

OK, am bored at work so went and tried to find the record for "most deliveries in a six-ball over". I found what appears to be the ODI record (below).

Does anyone know the equivalent test record?

ODI - Mohammad Sami sends down 17 deliveries for 22 runs to complete 6 balls, Pakistan v Bangladesh on Jul 29, 2004. (he went on to be 2-38, so a remarkable recovery went on).

(From Cricinfo)

   2.1 Mohammad Sami to Habibul Bashar, wide: no run, down the leg side
   2.1 Mohammad Sami to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, fraction short outside the
        off stump, Bashar slashes hard and gets a thick edge just past the
        gully fielder, mis-field in the deep by Abdul Razzaq costs
        Pakistan three runs
   2.2 Mohammad Sami to Habibul Bashar, two runs
   2.3 Mohammad Sami to Habibul Bashar, (noball) no run

Im sure i have seen sami with a few 10 or 11 ball overs.

THere's been 5 Irishmen in the England side before Ed Joyce. Only one of them , Sir Timothy O'Brien played for both Ireland and England. The statistics for all 5 are pretty feeble - see below :-

1) Leland Hone , 1 test 1878-9 13 runs in 2 innings.

2) Timothy O'Brien 5 tests 59 runs in 8 knocks @ 7.4
      He actually captained Englan in 1 test on the SA tour of 1895-6 !!

3) Joseph McMaster , 1 test and scored 0 in his only knock!

4) Frederick Fane , 14 tests @ 26.2 with a best of 143 in Joburg.

5) Martin McCague , 3 tests , 1993-4 21 runs and 6 expensive wickets.

McCague was born in Antrim , but brought up in Australia. When he played against the Aussies he got terrible stick from the Aussie crowd and went for plenty in the Brisbane test - then he quietly disappeared from the test scene!

End of Dhoni's career, I believe he will be on the NO. 1 spot.

He meant for sixes  buddy

I didn't read stuff that was posted earlier. My bad.
I know I should said most 6s at international level.

Is there a bowler who retired with more wickets than career runs?

Originally posted by dhoniisbest I think thers is one player, TCA123. I heard it on tv last week. I don't remember.

oh cool! i was expecting that nobody could be that bad at batting!

You can go to cricinfo.com

Swerveman will try and answer these questions when he comes back. There's enough posers here to keep him busy lads , please don't post anymore until these have been dealt with.
