Name: Rahul Answer 1: The batsman hits the first ball for a four and then takes three runs off the second ball. But he has to ensure that he is one run short . This means he completes his 100 and is now at the non-striker's end, with the team still needing one run to win. The second batsman duly completes his 100 with a six, which is also the winning shot.
Name: Ashish Answer 2: Among first-class cricketers Vaas seems to be having the longest full name. However, the full name of Rangana Herath (HMRKB Herath) who played in 3 Tests for Sri Lanka in 1999-00 as a left-arm slow bowler also has a long full name :Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerti Bandara HERATH.
Name: Subrata Answer 3: Tendulkar's overall Test record in the first and second innings of his career.
Name: Sunil Shinde Answer 4: Distribution of Tendulkar's Test scores
Australian Steve Waugh has a record 10 scores in the nineties, while England's Mike Atherton's 16 scores between 80 and 99 is the most by any batsmen in Tests.
Name: Venkatesan Santhanam Answer5: For a start, you are on the right track. You need to read a lot of cricket books. So continue doing so.You will also need to be through with the Laws of Cricket. Meanwhile, I suggest you contact your local cricket association who may periodically conduct workshops and examinations for aspiring young umpires.
Name: Girish Answer:6 Javagal Srinath, Ajit Agarkar and Zaheer Khan, during their international careers, have bowled some of the fastest deliveries by any Indian bowler. However, the old timers feel that former Indian fast bowler Ramakant Desai was quite nippy in during his initial spell.
Name: Steve Answer7: There are several instances of the entire team being dismissed 'caught' but never lbw, bowled or run-out.
Name: Sharan Desai Answer8: Arthur Collins (then 13 yrs old) has this distinction while scoring 628 not out - for Clarke's House against North Town in a junior house match in England in June 1899- which still remains the highest individual score made by any batsman in any class of cricket.
Name: Binil
Answer9a: There have been several such instances. The famous of them all came at Port of Spain in March 1968, when West Indian captain Gary Sobers declared his team's innings to set England 215 runs in 165 mins. The visitors won the Test with just three minutes to spare. Sobers, with his attack weakened by a thigh muscle injury to fast bowler Charlie Griffith, gambled on a slight chance of winning rather than let the five-match Test series stagnate. In fact, this was the only Test match in the series that had a result. #635 WEST INDIES v ENGLAND 1967-68 4th Test
West Indies 1st Innings 526 for 7 dec
England 1st Innings 404
West Indies 2nd Innings 92 for 2 dec
England 2nd Innings 215 for 3
Captains: GStA Sobers, MC Cowdrey Question 9b. What's the Test and ODI record of Chris Cowdrey?
