Trivia 2018

In the recent World Cup Qualifier between PNG and Hong Kong, all 20 wickets fell for a combined run total of 342 in a match that did not include a single individual 50. TP Ura of PNG made the highest score of the match with 49.

This far from the record. What is the most runs scored in an ODI with no individual 50s, where all 20 wickets fell?

Nada interest?

Very good, MrK.

Most total runs in an ODI with no individual 50 when all 20 wickets fell:

468 – Eng (243) v WI (225), Madras, Mar 17, 2011 - HS AD Russell (WI) 49

In the current Test NZ v Eng at Auckland, NZ were 3-175 at Stumps on Day 1 after England made just 58. Kane Williamson on 91* had already exceeded England's total.

By my reckoning this has happened 13 times in Tests. 7 times one player has exceeded the opposition's total by Stumps on Day 1, but can you name the 5 times 2 players have achieved the feat, and the one occasion where 3 players managed it?

Can't believe I missed this one. I read it as rain effect, but SAf I1 and Aus I1 were completed on the 1st Day before rain intervened.

So that means there are 6 instances with 2 players.

In the current Test Eng Capt Joe Root batted at 3 and made a duck while NZ Capt Kane Williamson also batted at 3 and made 102. This is just the 6th instance of captains batting in the same positions while one made a duck and the other made 100 in their team's respective 1st innings.

Can you name the other instances?

Skully

Where does Wagner’s 7 off 103 balls rate amongst the slowest with say a qualification of 100 balls.

I can find stats for slow batting but without minimums

Geoff Allott’s knock must be up there.

linky

OK, the Allott duck took up 77 balls and 101 minutes, so it does not make embee’s list above.

Too hard? Too much going on?
