Ask CricketGuru

[Yameen]

Since Eshen bhai is not asking any question, I would like to ask one:

Who was the 12th man of Bangladesh's inauguaral test squad against India in 2000?

Im really not too sure but was it Rajin Saleh? I think he took a catch as substitute fielder?

[BD-Shardul]

Yes, it was Khondokar Mohammad Rajin Saleh Alam.

Check Wiki profile of Saleh.

[cricman]

I have no Idea who #96 in ODI is, But I have a really good question

Tell me the Successfully Completed Highest 4th innings Run Chase in NCL (3-Day/4day) History.

[BD-Shardul]

Fill in the gap:

98- Mohammad Ashraful
97- Aftab Ahmed
96- ____________?

Actually this gap is never to be filled. This was the jersy number of Manjar Rana.

[Eshen]

Ok, I got one - Which Bangladeshi cricketer took highest number of wickets in ICC Trophy's ?

[Eshen]

Tell me the Successfully Completed Highest 4th innings Run Chase in NCL (3-Day/4day) History.
452 runs by Dhaka Metropolis.

[cricman]

Well Done Eshen ... I thought no one would ever get that one

Minhajul Abedin took the most # of Wickets in ICC Trophy matches

[Eshen]

Minhajul Abedin took the most # of Wickets in ICC Trophy matches
Correct. Nannu has played most # of ICC Trophy matches (30) for Bangladesh, scored most # of runs (761), and took most # of wickets (38).

Now it's your turn to ask the next question.

[cricman]

How Many Bangladeshi batsmen have suffered a dreaded King Pair?

[Zunaid]

Assuming Test only and no FC: JO

[mijanur]

who is the leading wickettaker in odi matches

just guessing: wasim akram

[mijanur]

[AsifTheManRahman]

Not a very hard one - more of an interesting fact than a challenging question: Who was the first Bangladeshi to bowl more than ten overs in an ODI?

[Murad]

Answer is : No ONE

[thebest]

Rafiq. It was in today's Cricinfo. However, I think Ashraful Haque and co may have bowl more than 10 over in International Match in ICC Trophy in 1978 (as those were 60 over match)
My turn, who was the bowler when Don scored his century of centuries?

[AsifTheManRahman]

Rafiq. It was in today's Cricinfo. Correct, against Hong Kong in the 2004 Asia cup. He also picked up the last HK wicket in his 11th over. The umpires were reprimanded later. Scorecard for that match: http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/hongkong/engine/match/65706.html


However, I think Ashraful Haque and co may have bowl more than 10 over in International Match in ICC Trophy in 1978 (as those were 60 over match)
Those matches didn't count as ODI's though.

[AsifTheManRahman]

My turn, who was the bowler when Don scored his century of centuries?
Eric Hollies - this was in cricinfo a few days ago as well.

[thebest]

ATMR, that was damn quick

[Zeeshan]

I have been browsing these pages and I am just amazed at all of your knowledge. How do you guys just know all these???! Did you all memorize Wisden's Cricket Encylopedia or something? Wow.

Anyways I am impressed with the knowledge and don't let Orpheus delude you anyways by calling you cricket geeks....

[al Furqaan]

no one will get these 2 questions right:

by my estimation anywhere from 2 million to 3 million test cricket runs have been scored to date.

who is the batsman who scored the 1 millionth run, and who is the batsman who scored the 1 millionth run off the bat?

[MohammedC]

Sorry Asad bhai had to cheat

Its either Dean Jones or Allan Border or extras

The millionth run in Test cricket was scored by one of Dean Jones, Allan Border or extras. It occurred ten runs from the end of their unbroken third-wicket partnership of 146 in Australia's second innings in the Third Test against India at the Wankhede Stadium in Bombay on 19 October 1986 when the score reached 206.

[Yameen]

Ok this is not a trivial type question for which I have the answer of but more an enquiry as I am quite confused with a couple of things with regard to the game itself.

Firstly, what defecit does one team have to overcome to avoid a follow on in a test match? Isnt it 200 or something?
This question has arisen from looking at the scorecard of the 1st test match from Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand back in 2001. Here is the link for it:

http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/bdeshvnz/engine/match/63967.html

Basically it shows New zealand scoring 365 in 1st innings n then Bangladesh scoring 205 yet their still following on but only 160 behind?

Maybe a silly question on my behalf due to a gap in my knowledge but just enquiring as got really confused and somehow doesnt seem right!

[MohammedC]

^^^^^

Close of play
18 Dec day 1 - no play
19 Dec day 2 - no play
20 Dec day 3 - New Zealand 1st innings 306/5 (MH Richardson 124*, CL Cairns 40*, 68 ov)
21 Dec day 4 - Bangladesh 2nd innings 90/4 (Al Sahariar 53*, Sanwar Hossain 7*, 33 ov)
22 Dec day 5 - Bangladesh 2nd innings 108 (46.2 ov) - end of match

May be they have lost first 2 days due to rain. I am just guessing here.

[Zeeshan]

Here's an easy one:

Who is probably the only bowler to get all batsman out clean bowled?

Yes. Law 13.3 "If no play takes place on the first day of a match of more than one day's duration, 1 above shall apply in accordance with the number of days remaining from the actual start of the match." That is, if there is no play on the first two days of a 5 day match, the follow on rule applied is that of a three day match.

I think Rafique is the right answer.if we consider test he is the most wicket taker in FC.

[Tintin]

This feat has happened only twice in Test cricket - Australia v England, Sydney 1911-12 & Bangladesh v Sri Lanka, Mirpur, 2008-09. What ?

http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8604.html

[Zeeshan]

9 bowlers used?

[Tintin]

No. Hint - batting.

[Murad]

More than 100 overs batted by both teams in the 2nd innings?

[Tintin]

No.

These are the only two instances, and is something positive.

[Rifat]

on both tests, both teams combined scored 1200+ runs?

[cricman]

I think Rafique is the right answer.if we consider test he is the most wicket taker in FC.

I think Enam Jr has more

[Murad]

I think Enam Jr has more

No. Enam has 232 wickets. Rafique has 5 more than him.

[Tintin]

on both tests, both teams combined scored 1200+ runs?

No. Something to do with consistency ...

[Tintin]

rifat : Still no.

More hints - This involves only Australia in the first match and only Bangladesh in the second match. They did something in both innings while batting.

[Murad]

I think its..the double digit scores.

Mostly all the batsmen scored in double digits. (not the tailenders)

[Tintin]

I think its..the double digit scores.

Mostly all the batsmen scored in double digits. (not the tailenders)

They didn't score 50s but they did score over in 20s-40s.

Almost there. Well done.

Only two occasions when all the top-8 batsmen reached double digits in both innings.

[Murad]

rifat : Still no.

More hints - This involves only Australia in the first match and only Bangladesh in the second match. They did something in both innings while batting.

The top and middle order scored in double digits and also 1 hundred and 2 fifties.

[Rifat]

top eight reached double figures in both innings.

[Tintin]

top eight reached double figures in both innings.

Well done but Murad won by three minutes :)

[Rifat]

oh well...this was fun :)

No. Something to do with consistency ...

The Answer will def shock you

Everyones favourite Bengali commentator?

[BD-Shardul]

Here is the answer to my question:

[বাংলা]A. Mohammad Ashraful - 3. বিড়াল তপস্বী
আশরাফুলের কথা কাজে কর্মে কোন মিল নাই। এই করব সেই করব, মাঠের মধ্যে গিয়ে সব আন্ডা-গোন্ডা। শালা আসলে একটা ভুয়া, বক ধার্মিক।

B. Mashrafe bin Mortaza - 1. এই মেঘ রৌদ্র ছায়া
Attitude Problem. এখনি দেখবেন মেঘের মত মুখ ভার, এখনি মর্জি হলে রৌদ্রের মত তেজে বোলিং, আবার এখনি মর্জি না হলে নিজেই নিজের ছায়া হয়ে যায়।

C. Shakib Al Hasan - 6. কলুর বলদ
বেচারা ব্যাট হাতে রানও করে আবার বল হাতে উইকেটও নেয়। কলুর বলদের মত খাটছে ছেলেটা।

D. Mushfiqur Rahim - 4. বার হাত কাকুঁড়ের তের হাত বীচি
লম্বায় খাট আর উইকেটকীপিংটা একটু খারাপ হলে কী হইছে, চিল্লাচিল্লিতে মাশাআল্লাহ। ইদানিং অবশ্য টেস্টেও ভাল ব্যাটিং করে।

E. Rubel Hossain - 2. ছোট মরিচে ঝাল বেশি
বয়স কম, কিন্তু ৯০ মাইল বেগে নাকি বোলিং করতে পারে। জাতীয় দলে ডাক পড়ছে তো রি কথা মনে রেখেই- মরিচ ছোট হলে কী, যহাল তো বেশি।

F. Shahadat Hossain - 5. দুই দিনের বৈরাগী, ভাতেরে কয় অন্ন
কেউ শাহাদাতের মুড দেখছেন কিনা বোলিং করার সময়? ১২০ কিলোমিটার বেগে লেগ সাইডে বারবার বাউন্সার দিয়া নিজেকে মনে করে ব্রেট লী, স্টেইন আর শোয়েব আখতার। শালা, দুই দিনের বৈরাগী ভাতেরে কস অন্ন।[/বাংলা]

There was Sanjeeb Sharma and Rashed Hanif, these two players played for years in DPL and also for several teams as well. Rashed Hanif may have played 2/3 year back as well.

In 90's, DPL was a big market for PAK players. It was such a market that Pak domestic players themselves used to come to Bangladesh during the start of the season to look-out for teams.

In first class cricket outside England, it is a rare feat to score eight hundreds in a season. Bradman did it once in the late 1920s. It was equalled seven more times, by big players like Denis Compton, Neil Harvey, Martin Crowe and VVS Laxman.

Bradman's record stood for eighty years before someone broke it by scoring nine hundreds in a season a couple of years ago.

Who ?

Sorry, forgot about this. The very surprising answer to this question is Vusimuzi Sibanda who scored 9 100s in the 2009-10 Zimbabwe fc season.

Three of Yousuf's hundreds were in England and the rest were also split between 2005-6 and 2006-7 seasons
