hi sorry about that i took the question away because the list can be different if different criteria are used.
i thought nobody had noticed

who is the indian in this list?

Klusener
Moin Khan
Styris
Gilchrist
Logie
Gatting
Aravinda de Silva
Wishart

this list is based on players with a minimum of 250 runs.

kapil dev. best strike rates at w'cup for respective countries. i guessed this based on some of the names(tho Moin Khan/Gatting was misleading) and cross-checked the data. first check was on fastest 50's , strike rates in ODI's and when those didn't seem to match, looked at the W'cup stats.

inoc · « **Reply #564 on:** September 30, 2006, 01:50:05 AM »

correct mock and welcome back.
the list changes somewhat if you take the cricinfo list of players with twenty matches. thats why i removed it from here but suraj spotted it before then.
AAOTY

who is the bowler who has dismissed Bradman the most number of times? he also holds a bowling record wrt Ashes. What is that?

inoc · « **Reply #566 on:** September 30, 2006, 02:44:51 AM »

right. he took 14 that day, one less than the all-time test record of 15 wickets in a day by Johnny Briggs of England against S.Africa. but it is an Ashes record still.

AABTY :-)

Are answers allowed to be googled by default in this thread?

that was one of the things i didnt like. the questions initially were such that other than by searches you couldnt know the answers. after some time however is has become more answerable - if you know what i mean and now ppl are mostly googling to confirm their suspicions - i think.
nevetheless the quesyions are now much more interesting.
and googling is allowed and ppl are generally admitting the process, that word again to their answers.

Ok , cool. I asked because most of the questions I could think of could be answered through a simple google query.

Ok, how abt googling be allowed only if question remains unanswered for 12 hrs ? Unless of course the person asking the query specifies otherwise as some things have to be googled.

Anyway here goes :

I have a century on debut. My father has the distinction of being the only person to have dismissed Bradman through hit wicket.Who am I ?

During a county match wicketkeeper chris scott dropped a sitter and said –“I suppose he is going to get a hundred now” this statement came back to haunt him later. Why?
