Cricket Records Set on 5 November

The date is dominated by batsmen. Sachin Tendulkar's 175 off 141 balls for India against Australia in 2009 is the highest score listed, struck at a rate few Test innings here can match. Usman Khawaja's 174 off 239, David Warner's 163 off 224 and Kane Williamson's 140 off 178 all came in the same 2015 Australia v New Zealand Test, with Joe Burns adding 129 off 123 in the same match, four centuries from one contest. Michael Slater's 169 off 271 against Pakistan in 1999 and Brian Lara's 153 off 143 for West Indies in 1993 complete the list of innings past 150, spanning both Tests and ODIs.

Bowling figures are rarer on this date and the best of them stretch back further than the top scores. Jack Gregory took 6/77 in 25.10 overs for Australia against South Africa in 1921, with Jimmy Blanckenberg replying with 5/78 in 24.40 overs in the same match. Ravindra Jadeja appears twice, with 5/21 in 11.50 overs in a 2015 Test against South Africa and 5/33 in 9.00 overs in a 2023 ODI against the same opponents, either side of Ravichandran Ashwin's 5/51 in the 2015 Test. Aftab Ahmed's 5/31 for Bangladesh in 2004 and Damien Fleming's 5/59 for Australia in 1999 are the other five-wicket hauls in the longer formats, while T20Is produced shorter four-wicket spells such as Reginald Nehonde's 4/7 in 3.00 overs in 2021.

Franchise cricket on this date favours quickfire batting rather than bowling. Mumbai Indians posted three fifties in the same IPL 2020 innings against Delhi Capitals, with MP Stoinis making 65 off 46, Ishan Kishan 55 off 30 and SA Yadav 51 off 38. Beth Mooney's 77 off 52 for PS-W against BH-W in WBBL 2024/25 is the highest score among the T20 league innings listed. MN Samuels made 60 off 47 and WU Tharanga 51 off 40 in the same BPL 2017 game between Sylhet Thunder and Comilla Victorians, while Rony Talukdar's 47 off 38 and Mithun Ali's 46 off 33 came in the Rajshahi Royals v Rangpur Rangers match from the same tournament.
