New records made in this world cup

Or, to be more accurate, his nation's bowlers are all ****, either selected for the squad or not.

 

[Isura]

Most 300+ scores in a loss? Most 100's in a loss?

 

[jonbrooks]

Didn't WIs get three consecutive 300s? Has that happened before?

the records of Malinga and Herath might disagree with you there..

SA got back to back 400s which was definitely a first

there has to be a record somewhere that southee's 7-for broke.

Pakistan played a 4 pace attack. That's a record under Misbah's captaincy. Feels nice since we usually have loads of spinners.

Well England may have some crapness records.

Best figures by a kiwi in ODIs.

McGrath still holds best bowling in an ODI tho. And Bichel I think has the best figures against a Test nation (also England IIRC?)

Kumar Sangakkara - First batsman to score 3 consecutive 100's in World Cup.

First batsman to score 4 consecutive hundreds in all ODIs

 

[viriya]

First player to get 4 tons in a single WC apparently (Sanga again).

 

[ankitj]

Sangakkara's world cup record starting to look as good as Tendulkar's.

Ankit, would be good if you could keep updating these new records in the first post of this thread.

Can't edit first post. But I will compile all the records towards the end of the tournament

 

[The Sean]

As if it wasn't already the Sanga show, it's worth noting that with his two catches today Sangakkara also now has the outright record for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in all World Cups.

 

[Rotkohl]

If one engages in a bit of gratuitous goalpost shifting, Josh Davey now holds the world record for best strike rate in both world cups and all odi cricket

OK he has gone for runs but is still quite raw so hopefully he'll be able to work on that in the coming years

 

[ankitj]

AB deVilliers has hit most sixes ever (20) in a single world cup.

 

[honestbharani]

Not exactly a record per se, but after the game against Ireland, I think Umesh Yadav was leading the list with the most catches this WC for fielders.. Very very weird that a bowler, that too an Indian fast bowler, is leading that particular list... :P
