Cricket Facts:
      Before that one question


Who hold the record for the highest individual score in an ODI match? Sitter isn't it?

      Graham Yallop, in 1978 was the first man to wear a helmet!

      Wasim Akram is the first (an only?) man to perform a hat-trick in both one days and
       tests!

      England and Australia played the first ever one day international at Melbourne in
       1971!

      Sachin Tendulkar was the first victim of the third umpire. In the Test match!

      There are 10 ways a batsman can be declared "out" in cricket:

      Caught
      Bowled
      Leg Before Wicket
      Hit Wicket
      Timed Out (wonder what is this?)
      Handling the ball
      Obstructing the field
      Hit the ball twice
      Run Out
      Stumped

      Timed out means a batsman can be declared out if he fails to come to the crease in 5
       mins. After a batsman is out, if the next batsman takes more then 5 mins to come to
       the crease and the fielding team appeals, he can be declared out.

      Shahid Afridi of Pakistan holds the record of having scored the fastest century in ODI
       cricket matches. He scored the century in 37 balls with 11 sixes and 6 fours gaint Sri
       Lanka in 1996. He was 16+ years during this match.

      Don Bradman's batting average over his career in Test matches against all countries
       was 99.94 - if he had scored 4 more runs, he would have averaged 100 per innings.
