Who holds the worst record in cricket which is unbeaten till now?

 Robin Peterson, South Africa - Most expensive over by a Full-Member bowler

Robin Peterson holds the infamous record of most runs conceded by a Full-Member nation player in one over in One Day International history. Sri Lanka's Thisera Perera hit South Africa's left-arm-spinner for 5 sixes and a four in a match between Sri Lanka and South Africa in 2013 at Pallekele.

Peterson conceded runs in this sequence in the 33rd over: 6, Wd, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6.

The player conceded 35 runs in an over, which is the second worst over in ODIs. Van Bunge of Netherlands conceded 36 runs in an over in a World Cup Match against South Africa in 2007.

Despite conceding 35 runs in one over, Robin Peterson ended with an impressive match figure of 1/51 in seven overs. South Africa won the game convincingly by 56 runs. Peterson retired from all forms of the game on November 9, 2016.

Salman Butt, Pakistan - Worst duck-to-innings ratio

Salman Butt got out for a duck once in every five games in the 78 ODIs he played for Pakistan

Salman Butt holds this unprecedented infamous record. He got out for a duck once in every 5 innings. This is the worst duck-to-inning ratio for any batsman in ODIs. Salman Butt represented Pakistan in 78 ODIs. He has gotten out for a duck in an incredible 15 games. This is a surprising statistic for an opening batsman who maintained a healthy average of 36.82 with eight centuries and fourteen fifties. The second batsman in this list is Sri Lankan R. Kaluwihtharna, who has a duck-to-inning ratio of 1:8.

Though Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for most number of ducks in ODIs (34), his duck-to-innings ratio is 1:13. Similarly, Shahid Afridi's duck-to-inning ratio is 1:13 which is far better than Salman Butt's 1:5.

Mick Lewis, Australia - Most expensive bowler in ODI history

Mick Lewis holds the infamous record of most runs conceded by a bowler in ODIs

Most cricket fans remember Mick Lewis, the former Australia fast bowler, for his 0 for 113 in the famous 438 chase in the deciding ODI between South Africa and Australia in Johannesburg eleven years ago.

The myopic nature of human mind was evident in Mick Lewis scenario as everyone forgot Herschelle Gibbs was dropped on 44, and then on a 108 on his bowling. Mick Lewis was then dropped out of the Australian Team. He never made a comeback to the International circuit.

David Boon, Australia - Slowest century in ODI history

Boon took 166 balls to score his century, the slowest hundred in ODI history

David Boon was an amiable opening batsman who established an outstanding rapport with his fellow opening batsman Geoff Marsh in assisting Australian Cricket team to recuperate from the poor showing of the early 80s.

In the Benson & Hedges World Series at Hobart on 10th December 1991, India won the toss and chose to bat against the Australians.

The mighty Australian bowling line-up dismissed India for a paltry 175. It was an effortless chase for the Australians where David Boon played brilliantly according to the match scenario.

The opener obtained a century off 166 balls and was declared as a Man of the Match. However, this infamous record is still with David Boon.

Mohammad Sami, Pakistan - Longest over in an ODI match

Sami bowled a 17-ball over which the longest over in cricket history

The unfortunate bowler who bowled the longest over in One Day International cricket was Pakistan's Mohammad Sami, with the third over of the match against Bangladesh in Asia Cup in Colombo in 2004.

He bowled four no-balls and seven wides in that over. The sequence of the over was: wd-4-2-nb-wd-nb1-0-wd-wd-0-wd-nb-wd-wd-nb-0-4. Ironically, Mohammad Sami's earlier over had been a wicket maiden, so he had the bizarre bowling figure of 2-1-22-1.

The team management defended Sami by explaining that he was attempting to remodel his bowling action and was struggling to find rhythm.

The longest over in a Test is believed to be one of 15 deliveries - including nine no-balls - by Curtly Ambrose for West Indies against Australia at Perth in 1996-97. So, Sami holds the record of longest over in the cricketing history.

Who holds the worst record in cricket which is unbeaten till now?

 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) .

Which records in cricket are unlikely to be broken ever?

 Here are some of the records which are nearly impossible to break.

1. Jacques Kallis – 10,000 runs and 250 wickets.

2. Shortest-Ever Test Match.

The shortest test match ever played is of 5 hours and 53 minutes between South Africa and Australia.

3. Century and Double Century on Debut

4. Most consecutive test matches

Allan Border, has played 153 Test matches from 10 Mar 1979 to 25 March 1994 without missing a single test.

5. Highest score by an unusual night watchman

Australia's Jason Gillespie made 201 not out vs Bangladesh in 2006.

6. Most First Class Centuries

Sir Jack Hobbs, a famous English Cricketer, holds the cricket record of 199 centuries.

Who holds the worst record in cricket which is unbeaten till now?

 

1. . Most ducks in ODIs:

Undoubtedly, playing against Sanath Jayasuriya in the mid-90s was nothing less than a nightmare for most bowlers. But while Jayasuria holds the record for one the fastest ODI 50 on just 17 balls, this is not his only record. He also has the record for most ducks, 34, in ODIs to his name. Surprisingly, the man next to him is Shahid Afridi, who scored the fastest ODI century on just 37 balls, with 30 ducks. The third in the row is legendary, Wasim Akram, with 28 ducks.

2. Most ducks in Test cricket:

Guess, who is Jayasuriya’s counterpart in Test cricket? Yes, the man with more than 500 Test wickets under his belt; former West Indian pacer Courtney Walsh was bowled 43 times on duck in 185 Test innings. Chris Martin of New Zealand is second with 36 ducks and the great Australian bowler, Glenn McGrath, is third in the row with 35 ducks in 138 innings.

3. Most expensive over in test cricket:

Though Anderson could not inflict any real damage to the Australian batting line, he remained successful at bowling the most expensive over of Test cricket history, when George Bailey scored 28 runs in Perth against him. Robin Peterson of South Africa shares the record with Anderson.

4. Golden duck in century tests:

Playing a 100 Test matches is itself a milestone but making the century Test memorable is exceptional. English skipper Alastair Cook is the only batsman of this special club with a golden duck in his 100th Test. Surprisingly, in his 99 previous Tests, Cook was never out on the first ball. But, in the second inning of his 100th Test played at Perth, he collected his first ever golden duck.

5. Lowest run score in T20I

The cricket team of Netherlands does not have many fond memories from 2014 T20 World cup. The team has also recorded the lowest team score in the same World-cup against Sri Lankan Team. In the match, the entire Netherland team surrendered at the score of 39 in just 10.3 overs. The Sri Lankan team had won this match just in 5 overs.

6. Maximum number of ducks in a T20I

Even though the explosive Sri Lankan batter Tillakaratne Dilshan is the third highest run-getter in the history of T20I, yet there is an embarrassing record of the cricketer that he would like to erase from the history of the cricket. Dilshan holds the record of the maximum number of ducks in T20I, the cricketer has gotten ducks at the 10 times.

7. Maximum number of extra runs in a T20I match

This unique and most embarrassing record was recorded in the first match of 2007 World T20, the match was played between West Indies and South Africa. In this match, while South Africa have just delivered 17 extras, the Windies team had delivered 28 extras. If one will sum-up then in this particular match 35 wides were thrown and the match also holds the world record for most wides in a match along with two no balls and eight leg byes.
