Elias Sunny (Bangladesh has become the first player to be named Man of the Match on debut in two formats of cricket
Test - v WI Oct 2011

Brod, given SA mauling of England in the 1st test in only losing 2 wickets, would this be a record for least amount of wickets lost to win a test match?

It is also quite a high amount of runs for those 2 wickets. Someone probably hasnt lost a wicket in winning a test against a very ordinary side in a low scoring game but this really is astonishing considering England are No 1 in the world

- Since 2004, Gayle averages 65.25 against the top eight teams in wins (excluding Zimbabwe and Bangladesh), and 31.10 in losses against them.
- West Indies' total of 522 in Antigua was their highest in a result game against one of the top sides since February 1995, when they scored 660 for 5 declared against New Zealand in Wellington.
- New Zealand haven't won any of their last 15 series against the top sides - they've lost 11 and drawn four (dating back to April 2006). During this period they've won four Tests and lost 22.

4 players are in the 90s and 7 are in the 80s.

They didn't mind hanging on in the 80s, those poms. Then when they retired, they would come back a few times more.

Nice work Brod.
It raises some further questions

What are the overall 1st vs 2nd innings averages (including all Shield players)? I would presume that 1st innings averages are higher (as batsmen often go for quick runs in 3rd innings, and there is the decaying pitch factor, although not as great in 4-day games)

Does Ferguson have the most lopsided 1st vs 2nd innings record out of all current players (excluding those who have only played 1 or 2 games)?
