Cricket Records and Statistics Quiz

This is a trick question - all the named players (Abdur Razzak, Andrew Flintoff, Lasith Malinga, Shane Bond, Kapil Dev) HAVE taken hat-tricks in ODIs. Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of the above' - none of them have NOT taken a hat-trick (double negative logic).

Sachin Tendulkar scored 5 international centuries before turning 20. His centuries came against: Australia (1992 Perth), England (1992 Manchester - 2), South Africa (1992 Johannesburg), and Sri Lanka (1993 Colombo).

Steve Waugh was the first batsman to score Test centuries against all Test-playing nations (he achieved this milestone before West Indies and Zimbabwe became full Test nations). Note: The question refers to Test cricket specifically.

Sachin Tendulkar scored 9 ODI centuries in 1998, setting the record for most centuries in a calendar year. This record stood for many years and is considered one of his greatest achievements, earning 1998 the nickname 'Sachin's year'.

The first ODI (One Day International) cricket match was played between Australia and England on January 5, 1971, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Gary Kirsten's highest individual ODI score is 188, made against United Arab Emirates in the 1996 World Cup. This was a record at the time.

Saqlain Mushtaq (Pakistan) became the first spinner to take an ODI hat-trick on September 30, 1996, against Zimbabwe in Nairobi. This broke the pattern of fast bowlers dominating early ODI hat-tricks.

Chaminda Vaas (Sri Lanka) is the third bowler to take two ODI hat-tricks - both against Bangladesh in 2002 and 2003. Saqlain Mushtaq (Pakistan) and Wasim Akram (Pakistan) were the first two.

Wasim Akram (Pakistan) achieved the rare feat of 4 wickets in 4 balls against India in Sharjah, 1989. Lasith Malinga has 4-in-4 in Tests, not this particular ODI instance.
