4. Shahid Afridi had a strike rate of over hundred till his 106th ODI. By this time he had scored 2375 runs.

He fell into the high 90's and again went into three figures in his 157th game and hasnt lost it till date after 238 matches and 2 short of 5000 runs.

 

[SJS]

There are others, for example Ricardo Powell who have been in the 100 plus strike rate range with over q 1000 runs but are not there now.

5. Who was the second man to score 6 sixes from one over?

Ravi Shastri

 

[Dasa]

Dhoni also passed 1000 runs with a Strike Rate over 100, although it's fallen to ~98 now. Pietersen and Hussey were both very close too.

 

[GIMH]

The answer to 2 is Andrew Flintoff, Edgbaston 04 V West Indies (during his 167 i think)

Depends what meaning of dropped your referring to

You could argue both Richard Illingworth and Graham Lloyd were dropped by their fathers, both won their last international appearances during their fathers time in charge (and wernt selected in their fathers last squad)

Ok so great Numbers 2, 4 and 5 have been answered (Flintoff, Afridi, and Ravi Shastri)

But the numbers 1 and 3 are still unanswered (I must admit they were the harder ones)

3. Chris Gayle? There was a match where Runako Morton scored a 31 ball duck opening in an ODI, i think Gayle could be in with a shout there.

That duck came in the final of the DLF Cup in Malaysia. Unfortunately Morton wasn't opening, and Chris Gayle copped a golden duck on ball one.

1. Who has been out to sucessive balls in a match? (Club level)

Peter Judge for Glamorgan vs India in 1946

 

[xanderbiscuits]

Yes Peter Judge is correct

http://content-www.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/15568.html

He was the first but there have been more since.

And someone has guessed the right answer for no.3 It is Sanath Jayasuriya (As far as I know, I asked Howstat Statistisian and they did not know for sure but thought so).

It was the match he scored the fastest international fifty (17 balls). He had scored 66 by the time his partner Kaluwitharana was out for a duck. Must have been a good match!!

Who was Illingworth's dad then, because I don't remember him being in charge of the Engladn squad at any time.

Yes. Ray was Chairman of Selectors for 3 years. No relation.

 

[marc71178]

Yes he was, but he's not Richard's dad.

Yes he was, but he's not Richard's dad.

Edited my post but too slow

Despite both coming from Yorkshire, both being spin bowlers and both having the surname Illingworth, Ray and Richard are not related.
