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

[Richard]

FTR, the previous lowest team score never made (9) was obliterated earlier today as South Africa made 9\0 to beat England. It now rests... well, read here.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I thought it meant all out innings.

 

[Richard]

I don't see how the lowest team score yet to be achieved can be anything other than 0.

0 was achieved once, by New Zealand.

There's also the infamous Centurion Park Test of 1999/2000 where England's first-innings was recorded as 0 for 0 off 0 overs declared.

I've no idea what I was going on about. I thought I read this in an "ask Bearders" article somewhere but obviously wrong. Sorry for talking rubbish. I promise it will happen again.

Q: What is the lowest individual and team score that has never been gotten?

A: In Test terms (it's obviously not possible to look definitively in First-Class ones), it is 229 (for individuals) and 18 (for teams). If you wanted to look a bit higher, 56 has also never been made. And next it's 525.

It's the 525 I must have been thinking about when I said 375. Which means I got one digit from three right, if you ignore the lower scores of 9, 18 and 56. Oh dear.

After that 238, 241, 245, 246, 247 and 248 are scores (under 250) at which no batsman has been dismissed.

Batsmen have remained unbeaten at 241, 246, 247 and 248, however.

I think Sachin himself has been unbeaten on 241 and 248, actually...

 

[honestbharani]

Just worked out some players. If they score 0 on debut that counts and if they get the same score but it's a not out that will count too.

Mohammed Rafique 3

I think Lara would have an entry at 3.. I am sure his 277 would have been 1, 375 would have been 2 and 400 would have made 3.....

 

[NUFAN]

HB - Lara didn't make 277 in his first bat though.

 

[SJS]

Thankyou very much kind sir. Thought it might be lower than that TBH, possibly in the 180s.

Do you know the ODI & First class record?

To the best of my knowledge the only scores under 300 that have never been scored by a batsman are 289 and 293 (There might be a score hidden somewhere to prove this wrong but I doubt it)

The score of 298 has seen only an unbeaten innings.

Beyond 300, the score is 326 (for certain) at which no innings (out or not out) has ended. The lowest score at which no batsman has been out (300+) is 303. Not surprising since people tend to declare as soon as a batsman reaches 300 or so.

Lara has 5:

44, 64, 277, 375 and 400*

In ODI's 155 is a score at which no batsman's innings has ended (including unbeaten knocks).

The lowest score at which a batsman has never been dismissed is 133.

Not happy. Can't believe they'd do this so soon after this thread.

Haha, they put up an article about De Villiers's no-duck record shortly after NUFAN started a thread on that too...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, suss as. What ****s.

 

[Dissector]

Ha, I dropped by just to post the Cricinfo article. As usual a very through job. Of the three current players on the list I wonder if any will be able to add to their tally. Vaas needs to beat 100; quite possible especially against BD. Tendulkar needs to beat 248 and Sanga 287 which will be hard but at least Sanga has a lot of time to do it.

All three of them are on 10 so they need another two highest scores to equal Vengsarkar; I would imagine his record will be safe for a while.

That's pretty shameless. They did it once with a thread I started about the ICC allowing transsexuals to play cricket in their assumed gender too.

James to sue for mine.

CricInfo plagiarists - identify yourselves!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Fair enough IMO. CW writers take ideas from the forum constantly.
