Cricket Records Set on 9 November

The Australia v South Africa Test of 2012 produced the biggest score recorded on this date, Michael Clarke's 259 off 398 balls, built on 26 fours. Clarke also features from the South Africa v Australia Test of 2011, with 151 off 176. Ahmed Shehzad's 176 in the New Zealand v Pakistan Test of 2014 and Jacques Kallis's 147 from the same 2012 Australia v South Africa Test sit just behind. The 2016 England v India Test alone supplies four entries, Alastair Cook's 130, Ben Stokes's 128, Murali Vijay's 126 and Joe Root's 124, showing how one match can dominate a date's batting list. Hashim Amla's 140 off 135 in the South Africa v Bangladesh ODI of 2008 remains the leading one-day score.

Bowling figures from this date are led by Shane Warne's 7/23 in 16.10 overs for Australia v Pakistan in 1995, the only seven-wicket return on the list. Michael Holding's 6/21 in 9.20 overs and Doug Ring's 6/80 in 16.00 overs, from the Australia v West Indies matches of 1984 and 1951, also stand out. The same 1984 and 1951 fixtures produced Terry Alderman's 6/128 and Sonny Ramadhin's 5/90, both from far longer spells of 39.00 and 40.00 overs. A single 2011 Australia v South Africa Test contributed two further five-wicket hauls, Vernon Philander's 5/15 in 7.00 overs and Shane Watson's 5/17 in 5.00 overs, underlining how conditions in that match favoured the bowlers.

The Test and ODI lists are dominated by matches from 1951, 1984, 2011, 2012 and 2016, while Twenty20 leagues add more recent entries such as Danni Wyatt-Hodge's 90 off 52 for ST-W v HH-W in WBBL 2025/26 and Mohammad Shahzad's 80 off 52 for Rangpur Rangers v Chattogram Challengers in BPL 2016. Set against figures such as Warne's 7/23 and Holding's 6/21, the date shows no clear lean toward bat or ball across formats; instead each era and format produces its own standout performance, from Clarke's 259 in the longest form to Wyatt-Hodge's 90 in the shortest.
