Cricket quiz

[*Paul*]

We'll say yes, no-one has bowled in so many innings (17) and always taken a wicket. Murali, though, only has 8 none-fors in 141 outings.

Which two bowlers have the most maidens in test cricket history?

 

[*Paul*]

Warne 1417 & Gibbs 1313.

Who has the lowest ODI score when having faced 100 or more balls?

Not counting this one, which is obviously a typo. http://statserver.cricket.org/link_...RNEYS/RCTRI/IND_AUS_RCTRI_ODI5_08MAR1990.html

I'd love to know how Australia managed to bowl 110 deliveries to him in the space of seven minutes

 

[*Paul*]

I emailed them about it, so it might get fixed.

Gavaskar probably qualifies for the slowest ODI innings, 36 off 174, but that's not it. He's Zimbabwean. (in retrospect this is a pretty hard question)

Who has the lowest ODI score when having faced 100 or more balls?

Mohsin Khan's (Pakistan) 70 off 176 balls is said to be the slowest innings ever - although perhaps this is resticted to World Cups.

My best answer, though, is Grant Flower (84* off 205 balls) VS England at Sydney - Dec 15, 1994.

Anyone else going to take this one, or should the final answer be revealed and a new question unveiled?

 

[*Paul*]

Well, it was Mark Dekker, 23* of 109 balls. http://stats.rleague.com/odi/scorecards/0948.html
He did have a buggered finger though.

Some others (assuming CricInfo has got the figures right)
Simmons' 23 ball duck, http://stats.rleague.com/odi/scorecards/0938.html
Rizwan's 62 ball 4, http://stats.rleague.com/odi/scorecards/0398.html
Gavaskar's 174 ball 36*, http://stats.rleague.com/odi/scorecards/0019.html

On the other end the best strike of any one having faced 10 or more balls
Shahid Afridi's 18 ball 55*, http://stats.rleague.com/odi/scorecards/1883.html
