Most ODI runs without a Hundred
Misbah-ul-Haq holds the record for the most number of One Day International (ODI) runs scored without ever going past the 100-run mark. In a career spanning from 2002 to 2015, Misbah scored 5,122 runs and was once unbeaten on 96 but never once managed to get an ODI century.
Most nineties in Career |
Sachin Tendulkar leads the chart when it comes to most number of hundreds scored in a career having crossed the milestone a stunning 100 times. What is surprising is that he also holds the record for the most number of nineties in international cricket. He has a total of 28 nineties with 10 coming in Tests and 18 in ODIs.
Players run out most times in ODIs
Running yourself or your teammate out is considered a cardinal sin in cricket and no batsman would want to be involved in such blunders.
But there are some who cannot get their feet moving between the stumps.
You guessed it right, Inzamam-ul-Haq holds this unwanted record, but he also shares it with another Pakistani legend Wasim Akram.
Both have been run out 38 times.
Most runs in an over in Tests
Another legendary figure who has an unwanted record in the game is English pacer James Anderson. Jimmy has the most wickets for England in Test history but one of those overs that he bowled yielded 28 runs.
George Bailey was the batsman on the other end who punished the Englishman during an Ashes series.
Most runs without a wicket
Imran Tahir, the bearded, excitable South African spinner is another one who has the record for conceding the most number of runs without a wicket. The South African toiled for 37 long overs but was belted to all parts of the park.
He conceded a record 267 runs in those overs and did no pick up even one wicket.
Longest over in cricket
Bowling an over is an easy task. All you have to do is make sure that you place your foot behind the crease and throw the ball into a good area. Repeat the process six times and you have an over to your name. However, 17 balls to complete an over is a little bit of an understatement and Mohammad Sami performed the excruciating task of bowling that many deliveries.
In a match against the West Indies back in 2004, Sami gave away 7 no balls and 4 wides to finish a mammoth over.
Most time for a century
A century is a record that is special to any batsman as it requires great patience and determination to get. Some people will bide their time and make sure that they get to the milestone no matter what. Ask Mudassar Nazar, the Pakistani batsman who reached his century in just 557 minutes.( Yawn) .
