Liverpool FC has played at Anfield since 1892. Anfield is one of English football's most famous stadiums, known for its atmosphere and history, unlike Old Trafford (Manchester United) or Stamford Bridge (Chelsea).

Cricket is the only sport where 'leg before wicket' (lbw) is a method of dismissal, and 'hitting a six' refers to scoring six runs by hitting the ball over the boundary. Baseball has strikeouts but not these specific terms.

Chris Gayle scored the first century in T20 International cricket history on September 11, 2007, scoring 117 runs against South Africa in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20. This was a landmark moment in T20 cricket history.

Geoff Allott holds the record for the longest 'duck' (score of zero) in Test cricket history. His innings lasted 101 minutes and he faced 77 balls without scoring, making it one of the most famous defensive batting efforts in cricket.

Afridi scored the then-fastest ODI century in just 37 balls on his debut against Sri Lanka in 1996, a record that stood for 17 years until Corey Anderson broke it in 2014. The other options are all close but incorrect distractors.

Yuvraj Singh famously hit Stuart Broad for 6 consecutive sixes in the final over, conceding 36 runs from that over alone. Since Broad's overall figures were 0/60 from 4 overs, the first three overs conceded only 24 runs combined - meaning his first over was highly economical at just 4 runs.

In his mammoth 254 not out innings for Gloucestershire against Glamorgan in 1995, Andrew Symonds smashed 16 sixes - an extraordinary display of power hitting in first-class cricket. This record number of sixes in a first-class innings stood as a testament to his aggressive batting style.
