Cricket Records Set on 4 November

Virender Sehwag's 173 off 199 for India against New Zealand in 2010 is the largest score logged on 4 November, struck at a pace that dwarfs the other Test hundreds from the same match: Kane Williamson's 131 off 299, Harbhajan Singh's 115 off 193, Rahul Dravid's 104 off 227 and Jesse Ryder's 103 off 205. That single 2010 Test produced five of the twelve scores on this date's list. Limited-overs cricket supplies the quickest scoring: Fakhar Zaman's 126 off just 81 balls for Australia against England in 2023, and Colin Munro's 109 off 58 in the 2017 T20I against India, both well clear of Saeed Anwar's 108 off 129 from 1997.

Bowling figures on 4 November span contrasting eras and formats. Ray Price's 6/73 for Zimbabwe against West Indies in 2003, sent down across 37.20 overs, takes the most wickets among the figures listed. In one-day cricket Waqar Younis took 5/11 in just 6.40 overs for Pakistan against New Zealand in 1990, while Adam Zampa claimed 5/19 in four overs for Australia against Bangladesh in a 2021 T20I. Craig McDermott's 5/44 for Pakistan against Australia in 1987 and Chris Martin's 5/63 for New Zealand against India in 2010, the same match that produced Sehwag's 173, round out the picture, showing wickets have fallen even on days dominated by big scores.

Domestic T20 leagues add further scoring depth to the date. WU Tharanga made 69 off 48 and ADS Fletcher 63 off 51 for Sylhet Thunder against Dhaka Platoon in the BPL 2017, while KC Sangakkara added 32 off 28 in the same match. In the WBBL 2020/21, Beth Mooney's 61 off 49 and Rachael Haynes's 61 off 51 for ST-W against PS-W, backed by Heather Knight's 57 off 46, show the format's batting depth, with Ellyse Perry's 54 off 54 for SS-W against BH-W adding to the tally recorded on 4 November.
