Cricket Records Set on 7 November

Glenn Maxwell's 201 off 128 balls (21 fours, 10 sixes) in the Afghanistan v Australia ODI of 2023 stands out for its scoring rate, with Ibrahim Zadran's 129 off 143 coming in the same match. Matthew Hayden made 197 off 268 in the Australia v England Test of 2002 and added 103 off 152 in the same contest, while Ricky Ponting scored 123 off 195 in that Test. The list includes Martin Crowe's 140 off 163 (Zimbabwe v New Zealand, 1992), Navjot Sidhu's 114 off 103 (India v West Indies, 1994), Mark Taylor's 112 off 258 (Australia v New Zealand, 1997), Marlon Samuels's 110 off 95 (Sri Lanka v West Indies, 2015), Mushfiqur Rahim's 107 off 109 (Bangladesh v Zimbabwe, 2015), Aravinda de Silva's 105 (Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 1985) and Hanif Mohammad's 103 (Pakistan v New Zealand, 1955).

Khan Mohammad took 6/21 in 16.20 overs in the Pakistan v New Zealand Test of 1955, the best figures on this date. Dipak Patel's 6/50 in 17.30 overs (Zimbabwe v New Zealand, 1992) and Ashantha de Mel's 6/109 in 22.00 overs (Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 1985) are the other six-wicket returns. Five-wicket hauls include Abdul Qadir's 5/44 in 20.50 overs in that same 1985 Test, Malcolm Marshall's 5/33 in 18.00 overs (Pakistan v West Indies, 1986) and Glenn McGrath's 5/32 in 17.00 overs (Australia v New Zealand, 1997). In limited-overs cricket, Javagal Srinath took 5/24 in 6.40 overs (India v Sri Lanka, 1993), Clint McKay 5/33 in 9.00 overs (Australia v Sri Lanka, 2010), Shakib Al Hasan 5/47 in 10.00 overs (Bangladesh v Zimbabwe, 2015) and Karim Janat 5/11 in 4.00 overs in a T20I (Afghanistan v West Indies, 2019).

The T20 league figures show a different scale. Georgia Redmayne's 65 off 47 in the AS-W v BH-W match of WBBL 2020/21 is the highest innings listed, ahead of Heather Knight's 59 off 34 and Charli Knott's 55 off 37, both in the ST-W v BH-W match of WBBL 2024/25. Katie Mack's 50 off 37 and Laura Wolvaardt's 46 off 39 came in the same 2020/21 match as Redmayne's innings, while Grace Harris's 41 off 31 came in the 2024/25 fixture. In the BPL, JC Buttler made 48 off 42 and L Ronchi 40 off 21, both in the Chattogram Challengers v Comilla Victorians match of 2017. None of these totals approach the Test, ODI and T20I scores from 1955 to 2023, and no bowling figures are listed for the T20 leagues on this date.
