Most run-outs by a fielder

[John1157]

I am pretty certain its Ricky Ponting in ODIs. What about tests though. Its most likely an Australian or South African probably. Its a shame they don't keep any sort of statistics on these.

Individual players were only given credit for run-outs post 1999.

That a partial of stats about most runs outs by a player from 99 to 05 in tests. You were right about it Australian and South African players being good at it not that I needed any stats to tell you that. There are 4 Australians and 3 South Africans in that list.

This is for ODIs from 99 to 05

I'm pretty sure Ponting is on top of that list by now. I can only assume he doesn't have that many run-outs in tests because he was in the slip cordon. Not that it matters really his teammates seems to do quite well even without him according to that list.

I'm not sure but this has to be some sort of record,

49.4
KJ O'Brien to Buurman, 1 wide, OUT, 76.4 mph, another wide, too wide, called one, Buuman wants to steal a bye, Niall O'Brien collects, and opts to run down towards the stumps and take them out instead of flicking a throw, the ploy works and Buurman, who was sent back by Bukhari, was caught short. He has to walk back
AF Buurman run out 26 (49m 30b 4x4 0x6) SR: 86.66
Seelaar comes in
49.4
KJ O'Brien to Seelaar, OUT, 66.9 mph, run-out, Netherlands slipping up in the final over, dropped into the leg side, Mooney runs in from midwicket, collects and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Seelaar short
PM Seelaar run out 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Adeel Raja's the new man
49.5
KJ O'Brien to Mudassar Bukhari, OUT, three run-outs, a team-hatrick, short ball outside off, slapped to mid-off, Joyce fields and returns a throw to O'Brien who takes off the bails, Bukhari had called for a single but was sent back, another one goes
Adeel Raja run out 0 (1m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -
49.6
KJ O'Brien to Mudassar Bukhari, 1 run, OUT, four in four, swung away towards deep midwicket, attempts an impossible second run, it's an accurate throw to the keeper who takes off the bails to beat Bukhari's dive
Mudassar Bukhari run out 11 (22m 8b 0x4 1x6) SR: 137.50 ...

This was an incredible performance, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Shame about the quality of the upload though...

Haha four runs out in three balls.

Played in a game once where our point fielder got a hat-trick of run outs in 3 successive balls with direct hits. Not sure if it'd be a world record, but can't have happened often.

From point? All at the batsman's end, ie one stump to aim at? That is impressive. The odds of that must be astronomical. When you factor in a) hitting the stumps all three times b) batsmen being that silly three times in a row c) it being the same guy in the same position.

Hellishly impressive from Fleming as well. Was he regarded as an exceptional fielder?

The one I thought of when I saw this thread was Viv Richards in the 1975 World Cup final. Was only two, but both direct and on the biggest stage.

Yeah - it was the last over of a 20:20, so I guess that's why the batsmen were chancing his arm, but it was still an incredible feat. Should have probably submitted the scorecard to Wisden and see if they'd give it a mention in their unusual occurances section.

Yep. Awesome allround cricketer, and was related to the fella who wrote James Bond. Those four runouts didn't happen in successive balls, but they did happen within about 10 and won the match.

Don't think internationals should matter so much with this, FC cricket a better place to look, even club level actually.

Successive runouts at the end of an ODI when the batsmen run for everything aren't so impressive tbh

 

[zaremba]

Didn't Viv Richards get 3 run outs in a World Cup final?

BlazeDragon making multis so he can agree with them-chump.

 

[SteveNZ]

I find it funny that Murali is in the list of most run-outs effected. Fitting, I might say.

Anyway....some interesting stats there. No surprises to see Healy in the running people out stat - he never knows the right thing to say

Can imagine him sitting twiddling his thumbs for 9 days wondering why no one would respond to the thread created by his multi, before deciding to go ahead and show off to himself anyway

 

[JBMAC]

I feel some of the post WW2 cricketers would have ranked highly in this category......Bland,O'Neill, Valentine, Solomon,Nourse,Border, Dyson, Randall to name just a few off the top of my head
