 Topic: Upcoming MilestonesPosted: 23 February 2005 at 2:50pm |
|
Instead of having hundreds of different topics for up and coming (minor(ish)) milestones i thought i'd just make one topic and that can sort of have all of them in there. Obviously i don't mean huge one off records and major achievements which warrant their own topic, just the slightly smaller ones, not to take anything away from them of course. Here's a few coming up (or that should come up soon): Stephen Flemming is now coming up to 1000 career runs in Limited Overs International cricket against Australia and Adam Gilchrist is coming up to the same feat but of course against New Zealand. Glenn McGrath has taken 47 wickets against New Zealand in One Day cricket and is 2 off Shane Warne's all time Australian record, 3 off getting to 50 and 4 away from setting a new record for wickets taken by an individual player between Australia and New Zealand in Limited Overs International cricket. Stephen Slemming has now taken 111 catches in One Day cricket, equal 4th on the list with Steven Waugh. He is now 9 behind Carl Hooper and 16 behind Allan Border who are 3rd and 2nd respectively. Sachin Tendulkar has scored 9879 Test runs and if he is fit to play in the series between India and Pakistan then he should make it to 10 000 and possibly even break Sunil Gavaskar's all time Indian record which stands at 10 122 Test match runs. Also he is currently level with Sunil in the all-time century makers list having scored 34, one more and he will have scored more centruies than anybody else in Test Cricket. Rahul Dravid has taken 119 catches as an outfielder and is one behind colin Cowdrey and Ian Botham of England and 3 behind Sir Vivian Richards and Gregg Chappel. If he surpasses all of them that will take to 6th on the all time leading catchers list (as an outfielder only). Just a few milestones that may come up and or be broken soon. |

Okay the form that Adam Gilchrist and Stephen Flemming are in neither of them will probably make it to their respective milestones in this series (or have i spoken to soon) and it may well be the case that Adam is rested for the final game or so as Australia have wrapped up the series so comfortably. Also Glenn McGrath seems to have been rested but he may come back for one of the final two matches i think. As for whether he'll getthe record i don't know but i don't think that this will be his final series against New Zealand, some time ago there was some speculation as to how long his career would go on for but now i think its safe to say there are no questions being asked. Just incidently Ricky Ponting has now moved up to equal 7th on the all time most successful captains list through total wins. He is already number 1 on the list via proportion of wins out of matches played and nobody i don't think will ever catch that until he retires or is sacked and the next Australian captain takes over, he is truly miles ahead of everybody in that catergory! He has now won 71 of the 90 matches he has captain Australia in and that is a truly phenominal statistic in itself. He equals Sorauv Ganguly's record of 71 One Day wins (leading his side in 138 matches) and is now four off Imran Khan (75 of 139) and Stephen Flemming (75 of 172). Obviously Sorauv is a current captain and has the series with Pakistan coming up in which he may well leapfrog Ricky again but you really have to look at the proportion of wins out of total matches and there you get a true reflection of the calibre of the captain and of the side he is leading. He should move up outright 6th on the most total wins list by the end of this series (all be it even if it is temporary) but he is homing in on those above him and fast. |

Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey's 136 not out stand for the 6th wicket partnership was the highest ever 6th wicket stand in Limited Overs International cricket for Australia. It does now look like Glenn McGrath may well sit out one of the two matches against New Zealand remaining so he may not take the record just yet but the way he's playing i'm sure that he'll get another opportunity against his neighbouring nation before his career is up.

Justin Kemp equalled Mark Boucher's all time record for South Africa for the quickest ever half century, getting there in 19 deliveries. That was 2 deliveries too many off equalling the all time record held by Sanath Jayasuriya but never the less a valiant effort. This guys has real potential and at the rate he is going he is easily eclipsing records that many cricketeres haven't been able to get near in years of cricket. But maybe this is a bit premature i mean we all remember how Shahid Afridid started his career don't we? Though this really is promising stuff, let's see what else he can manage to achieve on this tour as this certainly will be as good an opportunity as he is ever likely to get.

Thank You, much appreciated. These have not been the biggest milestones but i'm sure there will be greater achievements soon enough and that should get this topic going.

Glenn McGrath has equalled Shane Warne's record for most wickets against New Zealand in One Day Cricket for Australia with his 49th scalp coming in the fourth One Day match in the series. He is now 2 away from the all-time record between these two neighboring nations and if he plays in the final match you wouldn't bet against him equalling and breaking that record would you? Though he should still get another opportunity to do it should he not play or make it this time around, with his for the way it is at the moment he may well go and keep playing until he's 40 like Steven Waugh did. |

Good point JAL , he has belted the ball to all parts of SA in the last couple of months! What awaits is a trip to West Indies - will he be a good boy or will he and Hershelle enjoy the local fauna as they did last time !

Just a few more milestones i thought i'd post: Michael Clarke makes it to 1500 One Day runs, at an avergae of over 45. Truly impressive. Jaques Kallis scores 100 runs at Newlands, along with a much more significant record which i'll post in another topic. The highest ever lead after a first day's play in a match set by South Africa, beating a record set by England against Australia over 120 years ago. What a joke hey? A record stands for so long and then some bit part team gets smashed to pieces and great players that played years ago lose such valuable records due to the incompetance of the management of the regulatory body, of that of the players and that of the nation's representitves and boards. That record by the way is for a lead after a side has already been dismissed once. Ricky Ponting scores 141 against New Zealand, the highest ever score by an Australia against New Zealand in an ODI. The 347 for 5 by Australia at Napier is their second highest ever score against the Kiwiw's in a LOI. Damien Martyn's and Matthew Hayden's 133 for the 3rd wicket in the second match was the highest ever for Australia against New Zealand. Glenn Mcgrath made it 50 wickets against New Zealand in one day cricket and takes the all time record from Shane warne, one off the all time record between the two sides. Stephen Flemming makes it to 1000 One day runs against Australia and Adam Gilchrist to 1000 against New Zealand. Ricky Ponting is 5 short of 1000 against NZ in LOC. There are a few more which i'll post later. |

Sachin Tendulkar so close yet so far.Getting out in the 90s is an upset for any player but when you have scored 34 test centuries already and are about to score a world record 35th must have been a big big upset for Sachin Tendulkar himself and also for all the cricket fans(especially the Indians).But I think he can still do it in this series and also he can complete his 10,000 runs in this very series if he continues his form.Best of luck!Sachin from me and all your cricket fans.

What are you on about? This is his first attempt to break the record (as he only got to 34 Test centuries in his last Test which was against Bangladesh) and he gets to within 6 but falls short and all of a sudden its heartbreak hotel is it? I'm sure there's no disapointment and if India win the Test Sachin will be more than satisfied. Look this is the guys first attempt for god's sake to make it to 35 and he falls a little short, its hardly the end of world now is it? Like you said he'll probably get there in this series and probably get the 10 000 runs too so what's the need for all this annoying hysteria? His cricket fans have always had this tendency to over exxagerate not only his ability but his achievements and its annoying. I'll be the first to make a post on it if and when he achieves it but for the mean time can we drop the whole "Oh my god that was so unlucky and unfair" sob story?

In the first Test between South Africa and Zimbabwe Andy Blignaut hit 6 sixes in his second innings performance of 61 which is a Zimbabwayan record for most 6's in a Test innings.

The 1st test match between India and Pakistan which ended in a draw was Pakistan's only 3rd draw since 2001. Kamran Akmal hit his maiden test century.Balaji took his first ever 5 wicket haul in test match cricket.Asim Kamal got out into the 90s second time in only his 7th test match. Mohammed Sami got his 50th test wicket.Also Anil Kumble got his 450th test wicket.Danish Kaneria became the first Pakistani leg spinner to take 5 wickets in an innings against India.The 7th wicket stand between Razzaq and Kamran Akmal was Pakistan's 3rd highest 7th wicket stand in tests. Harbhajan Singh is only 11 wickets short of his 200th test wicket.Ashish Nehra is only 6 wickets short of his 50th test wicket.Inzamam needs to play only 2 more test matches to join the century club for playing 100 test matches. |

Sorry i would have posted some of that but i couldn't be bothered. Long plane journey and all. Shane Warne has now taken 93 wickets against NZ in Test cricket, 7 short of 100. Glenn McGrath has now taken 48, 2 short of 50. A victory in the secind Test would give Australia 6 Test series victories in a row, 1 short of their all time record. The total of 131 was NZ's 6th lowest against Australia and the 146 scored was the 5th highest individual score against Australia by a NZ player. Edited by JALRC |

Well done Sachin Tendulkar !!!!!
He becomes only the 5th cricketer in the history of the game to score 10,000 test match runs. It happened from the 5th ball of the 62nd over of the 2nd Test against Pakistan in Kolkatta , bowled by Abdul Razzak - the crowd have gone completely crazy - no surprises there !!
He joins an elite band of brothers - Allan Border , Steve Waugh , Sunil Gavaskar and Brian Lara. Well done again Sachin , a terrific achievement , and beautifully played !!

Yeah i was gonna make a seperate post on it but seeing as its gone a while since it happened i think i may give it a miss. Though it is still an achievement to be recognised Inducker so i think i may well make the post anyway as its a more major milestone.

In the first Test between India and Pakistan the partnership Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq was the highest ever 7th wicket partnership for Pakistan against India, the partnership of 184 of course saving the Test. The 570 in the 3rd Test by Pakistan against India was their 5th highest ever total against India and the 267 by Younis was the second highest ever score by a Paki against India behind Javed Miandad's 280 not out. Incidently Younis fell just 4 runs short of Hanif Mohammed's 354 runs in a Test which is the most amount of aggregate runs scored in a Tes Match ever by a Paki. I of course assume they didn't know of that record at the time or Inzamam wouldn't have declared when he did but it all turned out well in the end for Pakistan and Younis as they won the match. Virendher Sehwag has now scored 982 runs against Pakistan in just 6 matches, a truly incredible achievement. Anil Kumble took 10 wickets in a match against Pakistan for a second time, the first ever India to do so and of course he already has his 10 in an innings against them where he took 14 in the match.

The third Test was Inzamam's 100th and he made it to 184 which is the highest ever single score by a player in his centenery Test and he is only the 6th batsmen ever to achieve that feat joining the likes of Alec Stewart and Colin Cowdrey. Danish Kaneria took his 10th haul of 5 wickets in an innings during the series, doing it in just 26 Test matches which is a quicker rate than anyone else in proportion to anyone who has taken 5 wickets in an innings 10 times.

Adam Gilchrist has now hit 80 sixes in his Test career, just four short of the all time record which is 84 by Chris Cairns which he set last year. Glenn McGrath has now taken 499 Test wickets and Shane Warne 583, both homing in on more milestones. Ricky Ponting has now moved onto 21 Test centuries and levels with team-mate Justin LAnger and one ahead of Matthew Hayden. Ironically enough Langer and Ponting have both achieved the feat in just 87 Tests each with Hayden just getting to 60! Inzamam has also moved to 21 with his of course coming in his 100th Test.

Ricky Ponting took his 100th catch in Test Cricket against New Zealand in that series just gone and Australia have now won 6 straight Test series and have a chance to equal their all time record against England later this year. Shane Warne has now taken 100 Test wickets against New Zealand and Glenn McGrath 50.

They wouldn't! They just wouldn't! No way! Its just never even a possibility. No chance what so ever. Not ever gonna happen. No Chance at all. No question even asked. If he plays he gets it and the only way he wouldn't play is if god forbid the plane crashed on the way to England or he was in a coma and unable to make consiencious decisions. There's no way he'll retire as he himself just said he can't wait to get at England and get the record and he also just said that he wants more than 500 and possibly to challenge his team mate Shane Warne for the all time record. He also said he wants to get to 500 One Day wickets. There's also no possibility that Australia are now going to drop him so i think as usual things look pretty bleak if you're an England cricket supporter and even worse if you're an England batsman. And with Kasprowicz losing a but of zip in that last Test Brett Lee may be in with a recall.

Just a few more upcoming milestones with Rahul dravid coming upto 250 One Day matches and also him nearing 8000 One Day runs. He should complete both in this current series between India and Pakistan. Ganguly is now less than 100 short of 10 00 One day runs which would make him the third player to achieve that feat behind Inzama and Sachin Tendulkar and the second Indian though knowing his form at the moment that could take him the whole series!

Sorry i know some of these are a bit late. In the first test between NZ and Sri Lanka Stephen Flemming supassed 1000 Test runs again Sri Lanka at an average of 66. Marvan Attapatu recorded his highest ever test score against Sri Lanka and he and Mihaela Jayawardena recorded the highest ever 3rd wicket stand for NZ against Sri Lanka which was 184 that theu put on between them. James Franklin and Paul Wiseman equalled the record for the highest 9th wicket partnership for NZ against Sri Lanka which matches the 43 set 7 years ago by Adam Parore and Paul Wiseman himself who now of course has been involved in 2 9th wicket record partnerships for NZ against Sri Lanka if that's anything significant of anachievement. Also the team total of 541 is NZ's third highest total against Sri Lanka in Test cricket and in response Sri Lanka's 498 was their highest ever innings total against NZ in history.

A whole heap of records falling at the moment and here are some. Makaya Ntini's 13 wickets in the match, in the second Test against the West Indies was the best ever bowling performancein a match by a South Africa ever beating Tayfield's 13 against Australia in 1952. It wasn't however the best performance against the Windies or the best performance in an innings by a South African Bowler with a South African taking 8 wickets in an innings 5 times and 9 times once but it was the best ever performance in an innings by a South African against the West Indies. Brian Lara's 196 was the third highest ever score against South Africa by a West Indian cricketer with him also having the record for the third highest score which is 202 which he set last year and which was at the time the highest ever score by a West Indian against South Africa. Brian Lara surpassed 1500 runs against Edited by JALRC |
