Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq hold the record for the highest partnership for the 8th wicket in test cricket.

In the 2003 World Cup, Shoaib Akhtar had the highest batting average of all Pakistani players (72.00), while Saeed Anwar had the highest bowling average (15.00).

Yep, it's true - just another piece of evidence for Pakistan's disastrous performance. Shoaib Akhtar's average was boosted by his short, explosive innings against England, and a few not-outs. Saeed Anwar bagged one wicket when he was asked to bowl a few overs inconsequential against Netherlands (same match in which Wasim Akram got his 500th wicket).

Here's a link to the stats.

In honor of Javed Miandad's 52nd birthday on June 12th, here's a fairly well known fact about him.

Miandad is one of only two cricketers (who played 20 or more innings) whose test average never, ever dipped below 50.

Inzamam Ul Haq took a wicket off his first delivery in One-Day Internationals.

True story.

It was Inzamam's 2nd ODI, it was against the West Indies, and the batsman he dismissed was none other than Brian Charles Lara!

Here's the scorecard of the mentioned match.

We're the same but we've made some changes. Not too many, but some changes none the less.
