Which cricketers have obtained a new highest score the most times?

[NUFAN]

So Virat made 239* last Test and is now 240 making this his 15th highest Test score.

 

[NUFAN]

Kohli out for 243, perfect batsmanship.

 

[MW1304]

Pat Cummins

2, 13*, 21, 25, 33*, 42, 44.

Only going to go higher. Needs to not smash a hundred at some point in this series.

Looks like someone at Cricinfo peeked into this thread and ran a query on their database.

Kohli's 243 in Delhi is his career-best in Tests, going past his 235 against England at Wankhede last year. This was the 14th time he beat his highest score. He began with 4 runs in his debut innings and then improved his scores in this fashion: 15, 27, 30, 52, 63, 75, 116, 119, 141, 169, 200, 211, 235 and 243. No other batsman has beaten his best score as many times. Dilip Vengsarkar is second-best with a count of 11 and followed by Mushtaq Ahmed, Damien Martyn, Jacques Kallis and Kumar Sangakkara, all of whom are tied on 10.

When do they start paying us

 

[Daemon]

They missed out Lakmal too.

 

[NUFAN]

They missed out Lakmal too.

Perhaps they don't think a 2 not out is higher than a 2 out (which would give him 9 highest scores).

I had a look at the bowling equivalent (only counting innings where the bowler took at least 1 wicket):

13 Muttiah Muralitharan (230): 1-32 2-109 3-22 4-134 4-118 5-104 5-101 5-64 5-33 6-98 7-94 9-65 9-51
12 Bob Willis (165): 1-1 3-73 3-58 4-118 4-64 4-56 5-61 5-42 5-27 6-53 7-78 8-43
11 Stuart Broad (211): 1-95 1-56 2-62 3-54 3-44 5-85 6-91 6-46 7-72 7-44 8-15
11 Kapil Dev (227): 1-25 3-132 4-38 5-146 5-82 5-74 5-58 6-63 7-56 8-85 9-83
10 Rangana Herath (162): 4-97 4-92 4-64 4-38 4-15 5-99 5-79 7-157 7-89 9-127
10 Erapalli Prasanna (86): 1-19 3-122 3-106 3-51 4-60 6-141 6-104 6-94 6-74 8-76

 

[NUFAN]

Impressive. I've wanted to know bowling for ages but hadn't gotten around to it. What was your search criteria to produce the list? I just wanted to know if there was any possibility for someone to slip through the cracks?

 

[AndrewB]

I did a webscrape of the necessary data, so it should be right barring any coding errors (plus it's now a few weeks out of date).

Encouragingly, I get the same results you did for batting, with Kohli top on 15.

If you go by match figures instead of innings, Broad and McGrath are top with 11 each.

 

[AndrewB]

I also checked who had made their lowest score on most occasions, expecting this to be about 5 or 6 times, but it turns out that Yasir Hameed has the record with 9, and 9 other players achieved 8.

 

[NUFAN]

I think ive finally worked out what Labuschagne was thinking with the run out.

0 - 13 - 25 (3 from 3)

 

[_Ed_]

Now 0 - 13 - 25 - 26*

Random thought: Hetmyer is in a great spot

Just updated the current players, Hetmyer still looking decent.

Hetmyer getting dismissed at the perfect time for this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Burns has a good start at this for England.

9, 23, 43, 59

His first 4 innings, ruined it in his 3rd test but will get more than that if he plays for a while one would imagine.

 

[Daemon]

Just seen an interesting stat that's somewhat the reverse of what NUFAN is doing here. Finch has made a new low score in every innings he's played.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Streak ends here though I'm afraid. Not going to beat Yasir Hameed's 9

 

[Victor Ian]

Just seen an interesting stat that's somewhat the reverse of what NUFAN is doing here. Finch has made a new low score in every innings he's played.

Zero Out is as low as it goes. Does he bounce off the floor and head up again, or never play again?

 

[NUFAN]

So Virat made 239* last Test and is now 240 making this his 15th highest Test score.

I don't know why I said this FTR.

Anyway.. time for an update. The first half of the Test countries, based off everyone who has played a Test in the last 2 years and I have left players who I had on the list earlier (which makes Bangladesh rather long).
