Extreme Statistics

I love reading the commentary in Cricinfo. More than the actual proceedings on the ground, the comments by the many bloggers during the match and the heated discussions are wonderful to read. The sense of humour is also terrific.

One amazing thing is the kind of statistics guys roll out about cricket. Read the one given below by one fan after the last one day match on 21st February.

"This must be the only ODI innings in the history where Sachin has scored a single-digit while the rest of the team got away with double digits and no one scoring triple digits."

Can you believe it? How they think of such things! To answer this, another fan again from India posted this question.

Venu from India has a question to stump statsguru: "How many times did all batsmen in an innings become out by losing their wickets "inside 30 yards circle"."

Let me know if you have other such extreme statistics on cricket.
