@zaltzcricket.bsky.socialSouth Africa's innings also just the third in Test history in which 7 players made 25+, but none reached 50. stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/st...

@zaltzcricket.bsky.socialSTAT ALERT: Matt Renshaw's 190 was the only 50+ score in either first innings - the highest score in Test history by a player who has made the only 50+ score in the combined first innings (beating a record set at MCG in Jan 1898, when Clem Hill's 188 was the only 50+ score in either 1st inns).
@zaltzcricket.bsky.socialMaddison's 33-ball duck is the third-longest recorded duck by an opener in men's Tests. Previous longest for Australia - David Warner's 22-ball blob v England in Hobart, Jan 2022. stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/st...
@zaltzcricket.bsky.socialWho'd like a cricket stat? You would? Good. The India v West Indies ODI today is the 5th international one-day (four men's, one women's) to contain four centuries. If there's one more (as I write, Rohit is on 84), it will be only the second list-A match (out of over 30,000 played) with 5 hundreds.
