Cricket is more than just about baundaries and sixes but I guess I'm in minority with people who admire great fast bowling and batsmen who counter them with authority..
Today's cricket, inspired by twenty20, is more about sixes which lands us onto the question ~ which batsman has hit most sixes in one day cricket career? following is your answer :-
Shahid Afridi, the Pakistani pathan who started his career as leg spinner, scored century the first time he went out to bat (thanks to Waqar Younis' bat he borrowed that day) which is still the fastest ever, and changed his career forever. Afridi, on 21st June 2010, took over Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya who's second ... .. Read complete article |

When we talk cricket, we talk batsmen most often, don't we? so here's dedicating an article to all those bowlers out there, as we start this list of dream debuts.. rookies who recked their opposition.
Fidel Edwards, right arm slinging atheletic fast bowler from Barbados island, made most of his raw pace against minnow home team Zimbabwe to register the best bowling figures in one day match on debut (first match). Harare, the venue, offered bit of zip for seam bowlers that overcast day but West Indies had put up healthy 256 on board thanks to unbeaten 127 by left handed Wavell Hinds.

Over 1300 cricket articles typed with these two hands, I was surprised to see who holds the record for best bowling figure in all one day internationals. and then, I recalled watching the show myself..
Chaminda Vaas, arguably the best fast bowler Srilankan cricket has produced and unarguable the best left armers action, bowled a mesmerise spell of 8 overs, dismissing 8 Zimbabwe batsmen at Sinhalese sports club in Srilanka, to register most wicket taken by a bowler in ODI cricket in an innings. It was day match, quite bright as Lankans opted to field first.
Zimbabwe may be a unrecognisable cricket team now, they were quite bullish in those days with Deon Ebrahim, Flower ... .. Read complete article |
