[mhferdaus]

Must be some one cap wonder. I have to check in my spare time who are they and the matches they played.

Yes, it is one cap wonder. It was Shariful Haque against India at Dhaka on 10th January 1998.

[Miraz]

Ok!! We can take the answer.

Next question..

Who is the oldest player to score century in test match history?

[Sayeed Haque]

Jack Hobbs of England is the oldest player to score a century in a test match. He scored his last century on the 8th March 1929 at Melbourne at the age of 46 years 2 months and 20 days.

I think the answer is correct. So, here is the next question:

What test batting record Sunil Gavaskar of India share with our Hannan Sarkar?

I am not telling that they played in the same match. Its about the incidence where both of them were out first ball of each innings in different test matches.

[Miraz]

What test batting record Sunil Gavaskar of India share with our Hannan Sarkar?<!-- / message -->

SM Gavaskar (3 times) and Hannan Sarkar (3 times) are the only batsman to appear more than once in the list of Out to First Ball of a test match

No wait. It couldn't have been Bannerman. But I'm sure whoever it was, he reached 100 in 91 minutes and 150 in 145, before going to lunch at 159.

[Tigers_eye]

Weldone Babu Bhai. Now your turn to ask the question.

Steve Waugh almost got that feet at England. They were leading 4-0. In the last test they lost. Grrr!

[babubangla]

Now your turn to ask the question.


Is this the rule? Neat!!
OK..I am working on my question and will post it shortly.

[babubangla]

Question

Here is a exclusive list of 3 national team players.
The names are listed based on a very specific order.

1. Habibul Bashar
2. Mohammad Rafique
3. Mohammad Ashraful

What is the basis of the order of this list?

It is clearly not by alphabetical order.
Let’s make your task easier: the list is also not by chronological order of birth date, or not even by order of batting average. The order of the list does not concern about the personal life of the cricketers either—it’s all about cricket.

[Tigers_eye]

All three were recalled to the team after a big media fuss. :)
1st hablu, 2nd Rafiqqa and 3rd fool babu.

[babubangla]

All three were recalled to the team after a big media fuss. :)
1st hablu, 2nd Rafiqqa and 3rd fool babu.

Sorry.. It's not about media fuss. There were many other big-small media fuss before-after-inbetwen involving other players too.

[TheWatcher]

1. Habibul Bashar
2. Mohammad Rafique
3. Mohammad Ashraful

What is the basis of the order of this list?

Is it according to their ODI career bowling economy rates against West Indies ?

[babubangla]

Is it according to their ODI career bowling economy rates against West Indies ?

Yes..that can be a valid order too. But I had another prominent issue in mind.
Here it is:

Answer:

1. Habibul Bashar
2. Mohammad Rafique
3. Mohammad Ashraful

This is the list of top 3 bangladeshi players with Most Ducks in ODI Career.

1. Habibul Bashar >> 16 ducks in 90 innings
2. Mohammad Rafique >> 13 ducks in 94 innings
3. Mohammad Ashraful >> 10 ducks in 79 innings

So, they are Bangladesh's duck leaders.
They produced so many ducks that these 3 players got a place in the "Most Ducks in Career" record list of Cricinfo.
http://www.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/ODIS/BATTING/DUCKS_IN_ODIS.html

[Mahir]

Is it according to their ODI career bowling economy rates against West Indies ?

:wow:

i mean, whodda thunk! however, I think the list is according to the number of ducks each one of them has scored in their respective ODI career (16 for Bashar, 13 for Rafique, and 10 for Ashraful)

:shh:

[Mahir]

oh damn it! Babu bhai made his post while i was counting up their ducks total!

[TheWatcher]

Bacha gelo, I did not get the right answer so I don't have to make the next question. So Babu bhai have to either let Mahir do it or make up the next question himself :)

[Miraz]

OK, Mahir you knew the answer. :) Now its your turn to post a question. :)

[al Furqaan]

i got 3 Qs:

has any team ever declared in test cricket in the 1st innings without losing a wicket?

has any team batted entire 50 overs in ODI without losing a single wicket?

who has bowled the most maidens in ODI and Test cricket?

[Mahir]

OK, Mahir you knew the answer. :) Now its your turn to post a question. :)

Indeed!

My question : In the List of winning percentages of active international captains compared to when not as captain in ODIs, who has the biggest percentage difference ?

To answer al Furqaan's third question :

Glenn McGrath has bowled the most number of maiden overs in ODIs (271). Shaun Pollock should soon take over the top spot (he has 270). In Tests, Shane Warne leads with 1759 maidens, excluding the on-going 5th match of the Ashes series, in which he bowled 1 in the first innings. Muttiah Muralitharan is second with 1585 maidens. Is Warne's position safe enough ?

[Kabir]

In Tests, Shane Warne leads with 1759 maidens, excluding the on-going 5th match of the Ashes series, in which he bowled 1 in the first innings. Muttiah Muralitharan is second with 1585 maidens. Is Warne's position safe enough ?[/LIST]

That's a difference of 174. If Murli plays for another 2 years (which I would assume he will), it's not safe enough. Who's after Murli?

[TheWatcher]

My question : In the List of winning percentages of active international captains compared to when not as captain in ODIs, who has the biggest percentage difference ?

My guess is Bashar. Under his captaincy we have won 40.38% matches (21 out of 52), where as we have not won a single match that he played as the non-captain.

[Mahir]

That's a difference of 174. If Murli plays for another 2 years (which I would assume he will), it's not safe enough. Who's after Murli?

So with 2 more maidens in his last career Test, Warne finishes with a total of 1761. After Murali's 1585, next in the list is McGrath with 1470, including the 20 he bowled in his last match. Kumble has had 1425 maidens, excluding the ones from the on-going 3rd Test against South Africa (he has 6 so far, after 3 innings of play). Shaun Pollock, with 1195 maidens so far, is the only other bowler among active players to have more than 1000 maidens.

My guess is Bashar. Under his captaincy we have won 40.38% matches (21 out of 52), where as we have not won a single match that he played as the non-captain.

Yes you're spot on. Our own Habibul Bashar ranks 1st all-time in that category with a percentage difference of 40.38, as you've correctly mentioned, while the late Hansie Cronje sits second with a percentage difference of 36.75.

You may refer to this table (http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/264284.html#table4), which includes stats as of Oct 24, 2006, for a detailed list.

So, go ahead TheWatcher, your turn now. Fire away!

[Miraz]

Before posting new question, we need to answer al Furqaan's questions. :)

For the second one I think WI is one of the teams. :)

[Mohiul]

i got 3 Qs:

has any team ever declared in test cricket in the 1st innings without losing a wicket?

has any team batted entire 50 overs in ODI without losing a single wicket?

who has bowled the most maidens in ODI and Test cricket?

has any team ever declared in test cricket in the 1st innings without losing a wicket?
Yes, England against South Africa, declared 0/0 and won the match.
http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1999-2000/ENG_IN_RSA/SCORECARDS/ENG_RSA_T5_14-18JAN2000.html


has any team batted entire 50 overs in ODI without losing a single wicket
answer is no.

Now, my question is:
Among BD bowlers who has claimed Sanath Jayasuria's wickets most times in odi cricket and how many times?

[Mridul]

=bdcricmad;361718
Now, my question is:
Among BD bowlers who has claimed Sanath Jayasuria's wickets most times in odi cricket and how many times?

Tapash Baisya
3 times

[Mohiul]

Tapash Baisya
3 times

right you are

[Kabir]

Now it's Mridul's turn. Mridul, ask the quesion, and then call me and gimme the answer :onethephone:

[Kabir]

Time for a question, inspired by babubangla's question:

In what particular order is the following list of batsmen?

- Mathew Hayden
- Inzamam-ul-Haq
- Brian Lara

Hints: It's not in terms of their batting averages.

[Miraz]

Easy as a pie :)

Based on no. of test match played (ascending order)

Hayden - 89
Inzamam 116
Lara - 131


:)

[Mridul]

Ok its my turn now.

Who was the 12th man for Bangladesh in their inaugural test match?

[cricman]

Ok its my turn now.

Who was the 12th man for Bangladesh in their inaugural test match?

Is it Rajin Saleh?

[Miraz]

cricman, you are right.

[Mridul]

Right cricman. Now its your turrn to ask a question.

[Kabir]

Easy as a pie :)

Based on no. of test match played (ascending order)

Hayden - 89
Inzamam 116
Lara - 131


:)

Sorry boss, but that's not what I intended. It works tho :)
Hint: The answer lies in their score in particular test matches. And it's in descending order!

[cricman]

Name all the Bangladesh Test players (Current & Old) who have an First Class Batting Average above 30.

[exotic]

Name all the Bangladesh Test players (Current & Old) who have an First Class Batting Average above 30.

Out of 45 test caps, 13 have First Class Batting Average above 30:

Rokon (30.37), Bulbul (30.79), Sumon (Hablu)(35.23), Biddut (35.07), Ashraful (30.28), Sanwar (31.38), Sezan (36.35), Rafiqul Islam (30.16), Rajin (36.25), Rana (37.70), Faisal (37.05), N Iqbal (31.45), S Nafees (34.88)

M Rahim ( 29.95), Akram Khan (29.00), Golla (28.70) all have the opportunity to make it over 30.00. Only notable player missing from the list is Aftab with avg 26.82 and only 1 ton , I hope he learns quickly to convert all those 60-70 innings into big hundreds.

[Kabir]

Nobody could answer my question yet? :eek:
Shobai ghum naki? :timeout:

[cricman]

In what particular order is the following list of batsmen?

- Mathew Hayden
- Inzamam-ul-Haq

It's the amount of Ducks they've scored

Hayden - 11
Inzy - 15
Lara - 17

[Kabir]

It's the amount of Ducks they've scored

Hayden - 11
Inzy - 15
Lara - 17

Nope...I said it's in descending order. But seems like these three have quite a bit in agreement :)

[cricman]

I really have no Idea but in Catches vs Bangladesh in Tests

Hayden: 7
Inzy: 5
Lara: 2

[Kabir]

I really have no Idea but in Catches vs Bangladesh in Tests

Hayden: 7
Inzy: 5
Lara: 2

Woww...these three really have an agreement. But I wasn't talking about it either...I mentioned batting scores. :)

The answer is, it's in terms of the most runs scored in a test innings with boundaries:

- Hayden scored 380 (6s - 11; 4s - 38) against Zimbabwe at Perth (2003/2004)
- Inzamam scored 329 (6s - 9; 4s - 38) against New Zealand at Lahore (2002)
- Lara (how can we forget this match) scored 400* (6s - 4; 4s - 43) against England at St. John's (2003/3004)

OK, everyone, hold your breath. The answer is- Manjarul Islam Rana, the underrated grafter.

No, the one I am referring to is a 300+ innings.

It's this one (http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/78/78701.html). It's also the second highest of its kind around the world.
Yup, that's the one :clap:

Asif bhai, now it is your turn to ask a question.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Ok. This is an easy one. Who is Paul Quddus?

[Miraz]

Ok. This is an easy one. Who is Paul Quddus?

He was a ball boy of probably Dhaka Mohemmedan. He used to bowl chinaman like Paul Adams and Arjuna Ranatunga (while playing for Dhaka Mohammedan) after watching his bowling gave him Paul Quddus name :)

[AsifTheManRahman]

yeap. he also bowled to the national batters in the nets after they had trouble playing adams at home, in preparation for the second test of the series. according to coach sarwar imran, the failure was more due to the batsmen being unable to read the chinaman style of adams' bowling.

your turn.

[zia]

Not correct. :)

[TheWatcher]

What is the highest score in Bangladesh doemstic one day tournament ?
You mean any one day match in Bangladesh ? Not List-A or Premier league matches exclusively ?

Then, how about 503 (http://www.thedailystar.net/2006/01/04/d60104040936.htm) ?

I meant tournaments including NCL (one day), Premier League and Dhaka First Division Cricket League.

No age group cricket :)

Partex Sporting Club became Champion of the First Division Cricket League 2005-2006 while young Pegasus ended up as runner up. Both the team were promoted to the Premier League from 2006-07 season. In the final league match Partex set a domestic record for highest ODI total when they posted a mammoth 400 runs in the stipulated 50 overs.

bdcricmad, I could not find any other lowest total apart from the one cricman mentioned.

In ODI Bangladesh's lowest total is 76 against Srilanka (http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2002/BDESH_IN_SL/SCORECARDS/BDESH_SL_ODI2_05AUG2002.html) and in ICC trophy its 67 against Bermuda back in 1982 (http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT82/ICCT-MATCHES/GROUP2/BDESH_BMDA_ICCT_30JUN1982.html)

Now, is it a tour match?

I guess cricman accepted the answer and it's now my turn..

Who is the oldest player to play an ODI for a test playing nation?

[Sovik]

John Traicos

[Miraz]

John Traicos

Correct!! Sovik I will appreciate if you give some more details about John and then ask your question.

cricinfo profile (http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/player/55802.html)

A disciplined and accurate offspinner, John Traicos is one of international cricket's most unusual members. He made his Test debut - for South Africa - in 1969-70 in their final series before they were cast into sporting isolation, and returned to international cricket in 1992, aged 45, playing in Zimbabwe's first four Tests. The gap between appearances - 22 years and 222 days - is a record. Egyptian born, he grew up in South Africa, touring England in 1967 with the South African Universities, and thereafter played for Rhodesia/Zimbabwe at a time many contemporaries plied their trade overseas. When Zimbabwe were finally admitted to the fold in 1992, Traicos, despite his age, was still far and away the best offspinner in the country, and one of best in the world. And the speed of his reactions fielding in the gully would have shamed many half his age. In Zimbabwe's inaugural Test he took 5 for 86 in 50 overs. His international career ended when business commitments meant he was not available to tour Pakistan in 1993-94. Traicos fled Zimbabwe with his family in 1997 for political reasons and is now a company secretary in Australia. His daughter, Chloe, is an actress.
