Most runs in a calendar year across all formats (limit: 4000)

Maia Bouchier became only the 2nd woman to score a hundred and a duck in the same match, the other was JA Brittin

Maia Bouchier became the 14th woman to get a hundred on her test debut. Here are the rest

Just because I'm bored - current highest scorers in test cricket this year with 4 tests left to play

They also set their highest 5th wkt partnership (132) and 7th Wkt partnership (91*) vs West Indies, and still lost

Bangladesh set their best 6th wkt partnership in all ODIs yesterday, 150* vs WI, Mahmudullah (84*) Jaker Ali (62*) at Warner Park, Basseterre beating the 128 between the Imrul Kayes (72*) and Mahmudullah (74) vs Afghanistan in 2018 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

I've attached a table that shows the percentages. It's fairly self-explanatory but playerspercentofruns is percentage of runs scored off the bat, plaerspercentoverall also includes extras. This is complete the end of the SA v SL series

During the Eng v NZ test in Wellington David Gower commented that England had passed 500,000 runs (off the bat) and he had about 1.6% of that, Gerry Martin asked on the ACS list about the composition of extras in test totals and how does this compare against the highest run scorer for each country

At the end of November Boland completed their highest FC score of 594-6d (vs North West) beating the 575 for 4 dec vs Western Province in 1993. More progressive records can be found on the ACS site here archive.acscricket.com/records_and_...

MS Chapman set the record for the highest score for Auckland vs Canterbury of 276 in the match that finished in Dec 1st. That series runs to 153 matches In 151 years

There are 164 instances in total in men's FC cricket of innings lasting for at most 100 balls, the ACS has a list of all innings lasting 120 balls or fewer here

Yesterday in the #SAvSL test match Sri Lanka were dismissed for 42 in 83 deliveries. This is the 2nd lowest number of deliveries to complete a test innings. These are the other test innings completed in less than 100 balls (5 in total)

Watching the cricket on TNT/Discovery is so painful for this very reason. I found it almost impossible to watch the Aus v Ind game. Every over is an ad break and every ad break is betting ads. (Suppose really I should be grateful so much cricket is on 🤷‍♂️)

Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge pass completing a run.

Stats highlights and trivia from the 2nd South Africa v England women's T20I at Benoni, during which the visitors clinched the series win with a dominant batting display.

In the #SAvENG t20 yesterday, SA made their highest total vs Eng of 168-6 (previous highest 166-4 in 2018) and Eng made their highest 3rd wicket partnership vs SA of 112 runs, Wyatt-Hodge 78, Sciver-Brunt 67* (beating 76 by SJ Taylor (39) LS Greenway (31*) from 2011)

Good to see Tempa Bavuma coming good in seems to be tricky conditions in Durban #SAvSL 🏏

And also trying to get the pronunciation correct!

Nat Sciver-Brunt last 4 innings in WT20I: 67*, 59, 57*, 48*. She's not bad is she!?

#SAvENG 🏏

Highest score on the Benoni ground (in Women's T20I) is 198 (March 2024), there are 4 other scores of 170 or more, so it feels like a high scoring ground. England may need all of the runs they're amassing)

I don't understand what's happening with Dunkley. Whenever I see her bat she looks class, but just doesn't seem to be able to get a score (at least consistently)

At the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, JP Greaves (115*) and KAJ Roach (47) set the highest 8th wkt partnership for any team v Bangladesh, beating the 108 set by HH Streak (65) and TJ Friend (81) for Zimbabwe at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka in 2001

Nathan Lyon has extended his record as the highest Australian wicket taker vs India - he now has 123@32.01 He's still 2nd in the all time list behind Jimmy Anderson (149@25.47)

Ivory Coast played their first two T20 internationals this week.Against Sierra Leone they scored 21 off 10.4 overs and lost by 168 runs. In their next match v Nigeria they were all out for 7 with 6 ducks in the innings. These are the lowest and 8th lowest scores in ITT history

On Saturday 24th November 1934, the first women’s international cricket match took place between Western Australia, captained by Jean Cameron, and Betty Archdale’s England Touring Team. The scorebook can be seen at Women’s Cricket History womenscrickethistory.org/Scores/Engla...

Spent a few days there almost exactly a year ago. It’s an amazing place
