England sit proudly on top of the list after scoring 444 in the recent one-day international. When was the last time, if ever, they held the record for the highest total? asked Jarvis Powell from South Africa England have actually had five previous spells on top of this list, although two of them were very brief. After scoring 190 in the first official one-day international of all, against Australia in Melbourne in 1970-71, England held the record for little more than three hours, at which point Australia overtook their score and won the match. England reclaimed the record in August 1972, scoring 226 for 4 to overhaul Australias 222 at Old Trafford. They improved that two days later with 236 at Lords … but Australia then made 240 for 5 to win the match and reclaim the record. Australia improved the mark with 265 for 5 against New Zealand in Christchurch in 1973-74, but England went one better in July 1974, scoring 266 for 6 at Headingley to trump Indias 265.That 266 remained the record going in to the inaugural World Cup, in England in 1975. On the first day, Australia made 278 for 7 against Pakistan at Headingley, and New Zealand 309 for 5 against East Africa at Edgbaston … but England topped the lot at Lords with 334 for 4 - a total considered so huge that India made no attempt to chase it, even though in those days they had 60 overs at their disposal. That 334 remained the highest ODI total for eight years, until Pakistan made 338 for 5 against Sri Lanka in Swansea during the 1983 World Cup.West Indies raised the bar to 360 during the 1987 World Cup, against Sri Lanka in Karachi, but England reclaimed the record with 363 for 7 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in 1992. Sri Lanka beat that by smashing 398 for 5 against Kenya in Kandy during the 1996 World Cup - and, until they amassed 444 for 3 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge last week, England hadnt held this record since.Both New Zealands openers at Centurion were out for ducks. How often has this happened in Tests? asked David Morrison from New Zealand The double failure of Martin Guptill and Tom Latham against South Africa in Centurion last week was actually the 52nd time both openers had fallen for ducks in the same Test innings. The previous instance was by Sri Lankas Dimuth Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva, against India in Galle in August 2015. Earlier in 2015, Guptill and Latham also made ducks against England at Lords (Latham was again out for a golden duck, but Guptill lasted two balls). What made this latest one unusual was that they both fell first ball, and both in Dale Steyns first over. As far as I can see, this has happened only once before in Tests - in Pakistans second innings at Headingley in 1982, as Wisden confirms: By the end of [Bob] Willis opening over Mohsin Khan and Mudassar Nazar were both out, Mohsin caught behind driving loosely against the first ball and Mudassar edging the fifth and his own first, a rising delivery, to third slip. Both Englands openers were out first ball against New Zealand in Christchurch in 1932-33, but while Herbert Sutcliffe fell to the first ball of the match, Eddie Paynter was out to the first delivery of the second over.England hit 16 sixes in their 444 for 3 at Trent Bridge. Was this a record? asked Jatin Krishnamurthy from India The 16 sixes in the record ODI total of 444 for 3 at Trent Bridge last week was a new record for England - beating 15 in their 399 for 9 against South Africa in Bloemfontein in February - but is some way down the overall list, in joint 13th place. The most sixes in any ODI innings is 22, by New Zealand against West Indies in Queenstown on New Years Day in 2014. Remarkably, that came from just 21 overs - and 14 of the sixes were hit by Corey Anderson. Wahab Riaz conceded 110 runs in his ten overs at Trent Bridge, without taking a wicket. What are the records for conceding most runs without taking wickets in all three formats? asked Gaurav Shukla from India Wahab Riazs final figures of 0 for 110 at Trent Bridge last week were comfortably Pakistans most expensive in one-day internationals - it surpassed Riazs own 2 for 93 against South Africa in Johannesburg in March 2013. The only bowler to concede more in any ODI innings is Australias Mick Lewis, with 0 for 113 in the famous 872-run match against South Africa in Johannesburg in March 2006. The only other man to concede more than 100 in an ODI without taking a wicket is New Zealands Tim Southee, against India in Christchurch in March 2009. The record in Tests remains Khan Mohammads 0 for 259 for Pakistan against West Indies in Kingston in 1957-58, in the innings in which Garry Sobers made 365 not out, while the worst in T20Is is Sanath Jayasuriyas 0 for 64 for Sri Lanka v Pakistan in Johannesburg in September 2007, during the inaugural World T20.What are the fastest five-wicket hauls in Tests, in terms of balls bowled? asked Amit Kumar from India The fewest balls required to take five wickets in a Test match is 12, by Jacques Kallis in the course of his 5 for 21 for South Africa against Bangladesh in Potchefstroom in October 2002. That just bettered a burst of 5 for 0 in 13 balls by Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis, also against Bangladesh, while taking 6 for 55 in Dhaka the previous season. Jim Lakers 9 for 37 in the first innings of the Ashes Test at Old Trafford in 1956 (which he finished with a record 19 for 90), also included a spell of 5 for 0 in 13 balls. The fastest five-for from the start of a bowling spell in a Test is 19 balls, set by Australias Ernie Toshack against India in Brisbane in 1947-48, and equalled by Stuart Broad for England against Australia at Trent Bridge in 2015.Following on from last weeks question about Mohammad Amir having played 18 Tests without taking a catch, who has taken the most catches off their own bowling in Test cricket? asked Richard Vince from England Theres a tie at the top of this particular table in Tests: both Anil Kumble and Muttiah Muralitharan took 35 return catches. Theyre a long way clear at the top: Daniel Vettori and Shane Warne both took 21 caught-and-bowleds, and Derek Underwood 20. Murali also took 35 in one-day internationals, six more than the next best, by the New Zealander Chris Harris. Shahid Afridi took 24 caught-and-bowleds, and Saqlain Mushtaq 20.Send in your questions using our feedback form. Nico Siragusa Jersey .

Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. http://www.cheapravensjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-tony-jefferson-jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Maxx Williams Jersey . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. Terrell Suggs Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The need to work the basketball inside is a product of the offense Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self wants to run and his preference to attack inside-out in half-court sets.Primary threats this season, however, dictate the Jayhawks be more proficient at running the floor and shooting from 3-point range. Often, Self employs a four-guard attack.Still, he values the importance of working the ball inside with No. 3 Kansas off to an 8-1 start and carrying an eight-game win streak entering a home game Saturday against Nebraska (5-4).Its to help our team, Self said. I mean, were not going to score consistently shooting 50 percent from 3 all the time. Youve got to be able to throw the ball inside and get fouled, or score on the block some. You have to be able to do that. So we need to feed those guys more often, get them more touches.Those guys, the Kansas big men, have been inconsistent factoring into team scoring.Sophomore forward Carlton Bragg is the leader among the bigs with a 7.8-point average that rank sixth among the Jayhawks scorers. Senior forward Landen Lucas averages the most minutes (17.4), but has been slowed by an ailing foot.Freshman center Udoka Azubuike has been the lone big to start in the lineup Self used the last four games. He averages 4.8 points and 4.7 boards.Each of those players, Self maintains, can gain more confidence if they are simply incorporated into the offense.They dont need to look to score if theyre getting the ball more, Self said. They can wait and have better timing and not force the issue. The more touches you get, the less you feel inclined that you have to score.With Kansas averaging 87.8 points and shooting 42.9 percent from 3-point range, marks that rank 12th and ninth nationally, the guards are capable of shouldering the scoring load.In additionn, they can initiate transition as rebounders, helping the Jayhawks to a 119-47 advantage in fast-break points.ddddddddddddTheres going to be a game where were not making shots, said junior guard Devonte Graham, and well really find out what kind of team we are and if we can get stops and defend. Were just going to stay aggressive, keep passing how weve been passing it and keep shooting.The meeting against Nebraska renews a series that began in 1900, but was last staged in 2011, the Huskers final season in the Big 12. The programs were also league rivals in the Big Six, Big Seven and Big Eight. Kansas has won the last 17 meetings and was 31-3 against Nebraska as members of the Big 12.Nebraska is coming off a 77-62 homecourt defeat against No. 10 Creighton. The Huskers trailed 18-4 after scoring on just two of their first 15 possessions, then rallied within two early in the first half before Creighton ran away.If this doesnt hurt you, nothing does, Nebraska coach Tim Miles said after the in-state loss dropped him to 68-71 in his fifth season.Weve got to teach them how to win. I think its watching tape and meeting with guys and all that fun stuff, and just continually cultivating a relationship of trust and understanding of what good basketball looks like and how we have to do it against top-level competition.The visit to Kansas represents another top-level game. The matchup will be the sixth in 16 days for the Huskers against opponents ranked in the top 51 of the current RPI.Senior guard Tai Webster leads the Huskers with a 17.2-point average, while sophomore guard Glynn Watson chips in 13.2. Sophomore forward Ed Morrow averages 10.1 points and a team-high 8.1 rebounds.
