The Records and Milestones thread

Molehill

International Coach
According to Andrew Samson (and I cannot read the entire blog as it's behind a paywall), Root took one of Tendulkar's records in the Oval Test (an unwanted one). Apparently, it was the 113th time he had gone wicketless in an innings when bowling, which has overtaken Sachin's previous number.

There are some interesting names in that list:

Kallis throwing down over a 1,000 wicketless overs to be 3rd overall, only Carl Hooper remotely close to that number.
If Broad, Anderson and Stokes can all have bowled that many wicketless innings, who did take the wickets???
I'm guessing the Waugh backyard was a road!
Anderson and Broad are fairly comfortably top of the "most innings bowled in" list, so it's not surprising they're high in the "most wicketless innings" list as well.
Perhaps surprisingly, if you only look at bowlers with <200 wickets, the "most innings bowled in" list, 5 of the top 6 (Root, Tendulkar, Jayasuriya and both Waughs) have <100 wickets.
