1. 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.
