Tendulkar's 155 and Clarke's 6/9 Headline 3 November
CENTURIES DOMINATE THE DATE
The top Test score for 3 November belongs to Hamilton Masakadza, who made 158 off 326 balls for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh in 2014. Sachin Tendulkar's 155 off 184 for India against South Africa in 2001 came at a far quicker rate, well ahead of Ricky Ponting's 149 off 213 for Australia against West Indies in 2005. Kumar Sangakkara's 144 off 344 for Sri Lanka against Pakistan in 2011 shows the patience the format can demand, in contrast to Babar Azam's 125 off 125 for Pakistan against Zimbabwe in 2020, a one-day score where runs and balls faced match almost exactly.
BOWLERS STRIKE TOO
Bowling figures on this date swing from the brief to the exhaustive. Michael Clarke took 6/9 in just 6.20 overs for Australia against India in 2004, the most economical spell in the list, while Taijul Islam needed 39.30 overs to claim 6/108 for Bangladesh against Zimbabwe in 2018. Shaun Pollock's 6/56 in 21.40 overs for South Africa against India in 2001 sits between the two. In the shortest format, Francisco Damiao Couana took 5/19 in 4.00 overs for Mozambique against Cameroon in 2021, and Ajit Agarkar claimed 5/44 in 9.50 overs for India against Sri Lanka in 2005.
T20 LEAGUE FORM
Franchise cricket on 3 November has also produced notable innings. David Warner hit 85 off 58 for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020, with WP Saha adding 58 off 45 in the same match. In the WBBL, Meg Lanning made 69 off 58 and Laura Wolvaardt 68 off 50, both for AS-W against MS-W in WBBL 2020/21, while Sophie Molineux's 64 off 32 for AS-W against MR-W in WBBL 2024/25 came from fewer balls than any other score on this list.
