Welldone Asad Shafiq for equaling the long standing record of Sir GS Sobers 
In Abu Dhabi Asad Shafiq made his eighth Test century from No. 6 in the batting order. Who holds the record? asked Dale Crossan from England
Asad Shafiq has now scored eight Test centuries, all of them from No. 6 in the order. That equals the record from that position, and Shafiq is in pretty good company: the first man to score eight tons from there was the great West Indian Garry Sobers. Four batsmen made seven centuries from the No. 6 spot - Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Tony Greig, Ricky Ponting and Hashan Tillakaratne. For the full list, click here.

Mr Flexible: in ODIs, Abdul Razzaq has batted in all slots, from opening to No. 11
**During the commentary on the Abu Dhabi Test, it was suggested that Shoaib Malik had batted in every position from 1-11 in one-day internationals. Has anyone else done this? And what about in Tests? **asked Don Henadeera from Australia
Shoaib Malik has actually occupied every position from 1-10 in ODIs - he hasn’t yet gone in at No. 11. Five others have also occupied ten of the batting positions: the Pakistan pair of Shahid Afridi (never a No. 11) and Abdul Razzaq (lacking only No. 1), Bangladesh’s Mohammad Rafique (never No. 4), plus the South African Lance Klusener and Hashan Tillakaratne of Sri Lanka, neither of whom ever went in at No. 11. **Since there’s not much difference between being No. 1 or 2, Razzaq is probably the overall winner here. **
In Tests there are three men who have occupied all 11 batting positions: Syd Gregory (Australia), Wilfred Rhodes (England) and Vinoo Mankad (India). Nasim-ul-Ghani of Pakistan also batted in every position from opener to No. 11, but never faced the first ball of an innings so technically was never a No. 1. The others to bat in ten different positions in Tests are Jack Blackham (never a No. 4), Sammy Jones (missing 11), Hugh Trumble (5), Warwick Armstrong (10) and Ian Johnson (4) all of Australia, Shujauddin of Pakistan (missing No. 5), and the more recent Indian pair of Farokh Engineer and Ravi Shastri, neither of whom ever went in last.
