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.
