Highest partnership in a one-day international defeat

The highest partnership in a defeat cause in an ODI is 235, for South Africa's first wicket, by Gary Kirsten and Herschelle Gibbs against India in Kochi in March 2000. That highest opening stand lifted South Africa to 301, but India overhauled that with two balls to spare. There have been 10 more stands of 200 Runs or more which weren't enough to bring victory in an ODI, five of them against India.

Oldest Pakistani Test Debutant

Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar, who took five wickets in Pakistan's victory over South Africa in Abu Dhabi earlier this month, was 34 years 308 days old at the start of his first match. Only one Pakistani has made his overall Test debut when older: when off spinner Miran Bakhsh was 47 when he played in two matches of their first home series, against India in 1954-55. Amir Elahi was 44 when he took part in Pakistan's very first Test, against India in Delhi in October 1952, but he had previously played a Test for India in Australia in 1947-48. And Gul Mohammad celebrated his 35th birthday during his only Test for Pakistan against Australia in Karachi in 1956-57 after previously winning eight caps for India. Only 11 more players, including current squad players Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Irfan, have made their Test debuts for Pakistan after turning 30.

Highest Test partnership by any two players with the same surname, whether related or not.

In 2009, the two Jayawardenes added 351 in a Test against India. It had to be a record for the highest partnership between two unrelated people with the same surname. That partnership of 351 runs between Mahela Jayawardene and Prasanna Jayawardene was Sri Lanka's 6th wicket against India in Ahmedabad in 2009-10: it is actually the highest Test partnership by any two players with the same surname, whether related or not. The preceding record was 269 runs by the Zimbabwe brothers Andy Flower and Grant Flower against Pakistan in Harare in 1994-95. The previous highest partnership between unrelated players who shared the same second name appears to be 151, by Majid Khan and Mohsin Khan, for Pakistan's 2nd wicket against Sri Lanka in Lahore in 1981-82. If you’d like to stretch bit more, then West Indies Viv Richards and Richie Richardson added 308 against Australia in St John's in 1983-84, and Darren Sammy and Marlon Samuels put on 204 for West Indies v England at Trent Bridge in 2012.

Highest Catches Ratio By Any Fielder?

Indian Eknath Solkar's ratio of catches per match is easily the best for a fieldsman who played a considerable number of Tests matches, he played only 27 Tests, but took 53 catches very nearly two per game, the highest ratio by any fielder. Wisden wrote after his untimely death in 2005. "Statistically, Eknath Solkar remains Test cricket's most successful fielder, with 53 catches in just 27 matches - of those who played at least ten, the next-best is Bob Simpson's 110 in 62 Tests, or 1.77 per match to Solkar's 1.96. The top catchers are typically firmly camped in the slip cordon, but most of Solkar's catches came at forward short leg, where he lurked dangerously up close and personal to the batsman. Great Indian left arm spinner Bishan Bedi, of his time whose troublemaker was greatly enhanced by this, confirmed: 'His close-in catching was really intimidating. We’d not have been the same bowlers without him.' Former Ex-Late Tony Greig, an opponent in the 1972-73 series in India, said: 'Ekki was the best forward short leg I have ever seen.' His catching was often preceded by some very idiosyncratic sledging: 'I'll get you, bloody,' he advised Geoff Boycott, and he once told Sir Garry Sobers to mind his own business.

Both No. 8s scored centuries in Test.

There have been only two previous instances of both No. 8s batsman reaching three figures: in Bridgetown in May 1955, Ray Lindwall scored 118 for Australia, and Clairmonte Depeiaza countered with 122 for West Indies; and in Sheikhupura in October 1996, Zimbabwe's Paul Strang made 106 not out, and Wasim Akram replied for Pakistan with an unbeaten 257 - the highest score by any No. 8 in Tests. New Zealand wicketkeeper batsman BJ Watling (103) and Sohag Gazi for Bangladesh (101 not out) at Chittagong Test in 2013.

Batsmen have been Dismissed in the Nineties Most Often in Tests and ODIs?

Indian legendry batsman Sachin Tendulkar leads the way on both these lists. In Tests Sachin has been dismissed in the nineties 10 times, one more than native country man Rahul Dravid and Australian Michael Slater. Rahul Dravid had one further not-out innings in the nineties, so shares the overall record of ten with Tendulkar and Steve Waugh eight dismissals and two not-outs in the nineties. In one-day internationals Sachin Tendulkar was out in the nineties on 17 occasions, and also made 96 not out against Sri Lanka in Cuttack in December 2009. A long way behind come the New Zealander Nathan Astle, Aravinda de Silva of Sri Lanka, and Grant Flower of Zimbabwe, who all had nine innings in the nineties  seven dismissals and two not-outs apiece.

Most Runs in Boundaries in a Test innings?

England John Edrich might strike some as a bit of a surprise if they remember John Edrich as a rather dour defender in the later part of his career. But in his early days he was a powerful hard-hitting and uncompromising striker of the ball, and for England against New Zealand at Headingley in 1965 no fewer than 238 of Edrich's eventual 310 not out - 52 fours and five sixes which came in boundaries. Australian relentless opening batsman Matthew Hayden ran him close with 218 in boundaries with 38 fours and 11 sixes during in his 380 for Australia v Zimbabwe in Perth in 2003-04. The next comes burly Inzamam-ul-Haq, with 206 with 38 fours and nine sixes for Pakistan against New Zealand in Lahore in 2001-02, and Virender Sehwag, with 202 including 40 fours, seven sixes for India v Sri Lanka in Mumbai in 2009-10. As far as record in one-day internationals is 150 runs in boundaries, by Australian Shane Watson in his 185 not out for Australia against Bangladesh in Mirpur in April 2011, which contained 15 fours - and a record 15 sixes too.

Maximum Number of Players to Appears in a Test Series.

England is specialists in this area, when they’ve used in Ashes series at home record 30 players in the 5 match series against Australia in England in 1921, and 29 in six games in 1989. Australia employed 27 players in their home series against England in 1884-85, helped by having to change the entire XI for the second Test after a dispute about payments. West Indies used 27 players in the four Tests of their first home series, against England in 1929-30, including a different captain for each match. Australia used 13 players in 1921, giving the overall record for both sides of 43 men participating in one Test series. 

One Day International with featuring Eight Scores of More Than 50.

It happened in Karachi in 2007-08, when Pakistan's 347 for 5 contained five individual half-centuries and Zimbabwe's 243 for 7 included three 50 plus. The highest individual score in that match, although, was Younis Khan's 79. Australian first innings in Jaipur was, he first occasion that the top five in the batting order had all reached 50 plus in the same ODI. The match at Jaipur was only the second one-day international to feature eight scores of more than 50.

Highest Chase in ODI for the loss of only One wicket.

India's 362 for 1 at Japipur the highest in an ODI innings for the loss of only one wicket as they chased down Australia's big total with amazing ease in Jaipur, broke a ODI record which was set by Sri Lanka made 348 for 1 batting first against India in Kingston in July 2013. That remains the highest score made by any side using their full allocation of over’s in an ODI and losing just one wicket.

Highest unbroken partnership in a Test & The highest Partnership to be broken by a run-out.

The highest unbroken partnership in a Test match was between 429runs Jacques Rudolph 222* on his Test debut and Boeta Dippenaar 177* for South Africa's third wicket against Bangladesh in Chittagong in April 2003, also ninth-highest Test partnership of all time. 6th on that list is a 2^nd wicket stand of 446 between Sir Garry Sobers and Conrad Hunte for West Indies against Pakistan in Kingston in 1957-58, which ended when Conard Hunte was run out. The Pakistani fielders were looking a so lethargic after such a long stand, and Conard Hunte thought there was an easy single when he pushed a ball to mid-on but the fielder there was Ijaz Butt who had not long before come on as a substitute and was relatively fresh.

Sohag Gazi Shines First Player to Take Hat-Trick & Century in a Same Match

Sohag Ghazi had plenty of reasons to celebrate first Test against New Zealand at Chittagong Oct 13, 2013, although Test petered out into a draw. Sohag Gazi’s became the first cricketer to score a hundred and take a hat-trick in the same match. Gazi’s performance on the final day will be memorable for sure, A Test hat-trick, and 2^nd only by a Bangladesh bowler, gave him a singular place in cricket history He also completed a six-wicket haul to join team-mate Shakib Al Hasan on the list of cricketers who have scored a century and taken five or more wickets in a Test. Sohag Gazi named Man of the Match for his brilliant all round performance by record creating century and five-wicket haul.

England Youngest Player in Test Match, One-day International & T20I

England's youngest Test player remains Brian Close, who was 18 years 149 days old when he made his debut against New Zealand at Old Trafford in 1949. Four other Englishmen won their first caps aged 19: Jack Crawford (1905-06), Denis Compton (1937), Ben Hollioake (1997) and Ian Peebles (1927-28). Although Brian Close played just 22 Tests, his international career lasted until 1976 - when, aged 45 years 140 days, and again at Old Trafford.  He also ended up as the 11th-oldest England Test cricketer. So in ODI Ben Hollioake, at 19 years 195 days in 1997, was also England's youngest player in a one-day international, at 2^nd place Stuart Broad was only 20 years 67 days in 2006 is the youngest of 11 20-year-olds to have played.  England's youngest player in a T20I is Stuart Broad, again in 2006: Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler were also under 21 when they made their debuts in 2011.
