There were ten DRS reviews in Englands first innings at Chittagong - this must
have been a record?! asked Derek Giles from England The remarkable run of
reviews - most of them seemingly involving Moeen Ali - during Englands first
innings against Bangladesh in Chittagong last week did indeed constitute a new
record for Tests.
Mens Air VaporMax 2018 . The previous mark
seems to be eight, in Sri Lankas first innings of 388 against Pakistan in Dubai
in 2013-14. Indias S Ravi, the hard-pressed third official in the Chittagong
Test, was one of the on-field umpires in Dubai.Was Mehedi Hasan the youngest
bowler to take five wickets in an innings on Test debut? asked Feroze Hossain
from Bangladesh Bangladeshs precocious new offspinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz was
five days short of his 19th birthday when he took five wickets on the first day
of his Test debut, against England in Chittagong last week. He ended up next day
with 6 for 80. Three younger bowlers have taken debut five-fors. Shahid Nazir
was 18 years and 319 days old when he claimed 5 for 53 for Pakistan against
Zimbabwe in Sheikhupura in 1996-97, while another Pakistan cricketer, Shahid
Afridi, was 18 years and 236 days when he took 5 for 52 in his first Test,
against Australia in Karachi in 1998-99. But the youngest debutant of all to do
it was Australian Pat Cummins, aged 18 years and 196 days when he took 6 for 79
against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2011-12 - in what, sadly, remains his
only Test to date, because of various injuries.The youngest bowler to take a
five-for in any Test was Nasim-ul-Ghani, who was only 16 when he took 5 for 116
for Pakistan against West Indies in Georgetown in 1957-58 - that was his fourth
Test, having made his debut earlier in the series. A slow left-armer, Nasim
added 6 for 67 in the fifth Test in Port-of-Spain. Another Pakistani, Mohammad
Amir, was only 17 when he took 5 for 79 against Australia in Melbourne in
2009-10, in his seventh Test. In all, 12 bowlers have taken Test five-fors when
younger than Mehedi. The only other Bangladeshi to do it was Enamul Haque
junior, against Zimbabwe in 2004-05, not long after his 18th birthday.The BBCs
Test Match Special statistician Andrew Samson revealed that the only spinner to
take more wickets than Mehedi on his first day of Test cricket was Alf
Valentine, the West Indian slow left-armer, who took the first eight to fall on
his debut against England at Old Trafford in 1950. The only other one to take
five was slow left-armer Albert Rose-Innes, in South Africas inaugural Test,
against England in Port Elizabeth in 1888-89.Gareth Batty broke the record for
the longest gap between Test appearances, but who holds the same record in ODIs
and Twenty20s? asked Savo Ceprnich from South Africa England played 142 Tests
between Gareth Battys seventh Test - against Bangladesh in Chester-le-Street in
June 2005 - and his eighth, after his recall for the first match of the current
series, in Chittagong. That broke the previous record for matches missed, 114 by
Martin Bicknell for England between 1993 and 2003.The equivalent record for
one-day internationals is a dizzying 271 matches missed, by New Zealands Jeff
Wilson between 1992-93 and 2004-05. Goldie Wilson had a pretty good excuse: he
was carving out a very successful rugby career with the New Zealand All Blacks
during most of that time. Floyd Reifer missed 254 West Indies ODIs between
1998-99 and his recall in 2009, as captain during a contracts dispute. The
record for T20 internationals is currently held by Englands Liam Plunkett, who
missed 74 between June 2006 and November 2015. He was run close earlier this
year by Farveez Maharoof, who was recalled by Sri Lanka in July after missing 72
T20 internationals.Battys time gap between Test appearances - 11 years and 137
days - was noteworthy, but not a record: hes only 17th on that particular list.
John Traicos went 22 years and 222 days between Test appearances (for South
Africa in 1969-70 and Zimbabwe in 1992-93), while England batsman George Gunn
played no Tests for almost 18 years between 1911-12 and 1929-30, when he was 50.
Gareth Batty opened the bowling in both innings of his comeback Test at
Chittagong. Who was the last England spinner to do this? asked Kamran Muhammad
from Pakistan This is, as you suspect, quite rare - although Mehedi Hasan also
did it for Bangladesh in Chittagong - and the last England slow bowler to do it
before Batty is hardly a household name. It was the Nottinghamshire offspinner
Sam Staples, in the last of his three Test appearances, against South Africa in
Durban in 1927-28. He took 3 for 96 and 1 for 30 as South Africa won the match
and squared the series 2-2. The list of those to have done it includes Kumar
Dharmasena, one of the umpires in Chittagong, who took the new ball in both
innings for Sri Lanka against Australia in Galle in March 2004. He wasnt very
successful (2 for 52 and 0 for 100), and it turned out to be the last of his 31
Test matches as a player.Which current umpire has stood in the most
internationals? asked Rajan Gokhale from India The only current umpire to have
stood in more than 100 Tests is Aleem Dar, with 105; overall, he is behind only
Steve Bucknor (128 between 1989 and 2009) and Rudi Koertzen (108 between 1992
and 2010). Theres a long gap to the next member of the current elite umpires
panel, Ian Gould, who has stood in 53 Tests so far, although Billy Bowden, who
stood in a Test in 2015, has done 84 in all. Koertzen stood in a record 209
one-day internationals, while Bowden umpired his 200th earlier this year; Aleem
Dar is currently on 182, but he does lead the way for T20Is with 41. Overall,
Dar has umpired 328 international matches in all three formats, and is set to
overtake Koertzens grand total of 331 soon. Bucknor (309) and Bowden (308) come
next.Whats the fastest hundred by a wicketkeeper in one-day internationals?
asked Ajay Avachare from India The fastest hundred in all one-day internationals
was smashed in just 31 balls by AB de Villiers for South Africa against West
Indies in Johannesburg in January, 2015 - and, in addition to captaining, AB
also kept wickets in that game. The record he broke, as far as wicketkeepers are
concerned, was set by another South African in September, 2006: Mark Boucher
sprinted to three figures in only 44 balls against Zimbabwe in Potchefstroom.
Boucher remains fourth on the overall list, behind only de Villiers, Corey
Anderson (36 balls) and Shahid Afridi (37).Post your questions in the comments

.C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rafael
Nadal went from being scheduled for a busy-as-can-be Wednesday to a day off at
the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, thanks to rain that forced postponement of all 26
matches.And now the 14-time Grand Slam champion will need to play three matches
on Thursday, instead -- weather permitting, of course.None of the nine courts at
the Rio tennis venue has a roof, so near-constant showers on Day 5 of the sport
prevented any competition.After slowly whittling and juggling the schedule
throughout the afternoon and early evening, organizers finally called off
everything about 8+ hours after play originally was supposed to begin.It all
creates a logjam of matches in a sport that is meant to wrap up in Rio de
Janeiro on Sunday. But the schedule does have an extra day built in on Monday in
case it ends up being needed.Nadal, a 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medalist,
originally was slated to play for Spain in the third round of singles against
Gilles Simon of France, in the semifinals of mens doubles with Marc Lopez
against Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil of Canada, and in the first round of
mixed doubles with Garbine Muguruza against Luucie Hradecka and Radek Stepanek
of the Czech Republic.
Cheap Air VaporMax China. That trio of
contests was shifted to Thursdays schedule.Another man who wound up without a
match to play Wednesday: 2012 London Games champion Andy Murray, who will take
on Fabio Fognini of Italy next.Both Murray and Nadal are attempting to become
the first tennis player to win two singles gold medals.Thursdays schedule will
also include all of the womens quarterfinals: Australian Open champion Angelique
Kerber of Germany vs. Johanna Konta of Britain; Elina Svitolina of Ukraine vs.
two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic; Madison Keys of
the United States vs. Daria Kasatkina of Russia; and Monica Puig of Puerto Rico
vs. Laura Siegemund of Germany.Svitolina stunned No. 1-seeded and defending gold
medalist Serena Williams in straight sets Tuesday.Fans who held tickets for
Wednesdays day session can apply for ticket refunds at the Rio Olympics website
