Pollock ...just guessing. I think he took 4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls in his first county match.

Sir Donald Bradman of Australia was, beyond any argument, the greatest batsman who ever lived and the greatest cricketer of the 20th century. Only WG Grace, in the formative years of the game, even remotely matched his status as a player. And The Don lived on into the 21st century, more than half-a-century after he retired. In that time, his reputation not merely as a player but as an administrator, selector, sage and cricketing statesman only increased. His contribution transcended sport; his exploits changed Australia's relationship to what used to be called the "mother country". Throughout the 1930s and '40s Bradman was the world's master cricketer, so far ahead of everyone else that comparisons became pointless. In 1930, he scored 974 runs in the series, 309 of them in one amazing day at Headingley, and in seven Test series against England he remained a figure of utter dominance; Australia lost the Ashes only once, in 1932-33, when England were so spooked by Bradman that they devised a system of bowling, Bodyline, that history has damned as brutal and unfair, simply to thwart him. He still averaged 56 in the series. In all, he went to the crease 80 times in Tests, and scored 29 centuries. He needed just four in his last Test innings, at The Oval in 1948, to ensure an average of 100 ­- but was out second ball for 0, a rare moment of human failing that only added to his everlasting appeal. Bradman made all those runs at high speed in a manner that bewildered opponents and entranced spectators. Though his batting was not classically beautiful, it was always awesome. As Neville Cardus put it, he was a devastating rarity: "A genius with an eye for business."

yes i agree that lara is the best batsman of his age even better than sachin tendulkar cause lara not only affects the opponent but also brings a fire in his team \ni dont know what the west indians will do without the great LARA\n\nbut i feel that it is ricky ponting who is going to surpass all the world records except of having an average of 99.96 (record of sir don bradman) and may be also not being able to score 400*(made by the great lara)

sachin.....simply coz had he been in DON's era, he surely would have got 35 odd centuries. One can't claim that DON would have got runs at avg. of 99 had he been playing currently.\nAlso sachin has vast experience behind him. DON i guess played just 29 odd matches

There were  8  fifty plus (three hundreds and five fifties) by the 1893 Australians against Oxford and Cambridge Past and Present at Portsmouth. \n\nThe team score of 843 was the world first-class record until Yorkshire amassed 887 three years later.\n\nScorecard here: http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/4/4014.html\n\nFor test matches, do have a look at this thread:\nhttp://community.channel4.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/821609267/m/2630026166

Charles Bannerman of Australia was the first batsman to score a century in Test Cricket.  In the first ever test match in the history of cricket played between Australia and England at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 15th to 19th March 1877, Bannerman scored 165 runs in 285 minutes with the help of 18 fours in the first innings.  He has scored 69.6 % runs of Australia's first innings total of 245 runs, which is still a record in test cricket.\nHe was retired hurt.

record holds both Sanath Jayasuriya (sri Lanka) and Shahid Afridi (pakistan). \n\nJayasuriya manages to get 11 Sixes in 1995/1996 in Singapore in a match against pakistan where he scored fastest ODI hundred (48 balls)and got out for 134.\n\nIts remarkably a coincidence that in 1996/97, Afridi scored 11 sixes against Sri Lanka in  Nairobi, where he broke jayasuriya's fastest century record (37 balls) and scored 102,\n\nIts great that at both occasions they both scored fastest centuries with 11 sixes! and in both occasions it was neutral venues and teams involved are SL and Pak
