An full page advert has appeared in a South African newspaper about all the cricketing records being held by the players who will most probably be playing in the cricket world cup in South Africa.
When I saw this advert the first thing I did was to locate the records of the Pakistani players. But to my shock and horror there were no records mentioned of any of the records held the the Pakistani cricketers.
Now I know for a fact that Saeed Anwar holds the record for the highest score in ODI match.
I know that Afridi scored the fastest hundred.
I know that Shoaib bowled the fastest ball.
I know that Wasim is the only cricketer to get 400 wickets in both ODI and test cricket
I also know Waqar got his first 300 test wicket in the fewest deliveries.
I then telephoned the company that placed the advert and asked them what was the reason for the achievments of the Pakistani players being ignored. A very friendly woman apologised and told me that they asked the United Cricket Board of South Africa for the info and they only printed the info they received. However she told me that she will print all the Pakistani players record in future adverts if I can give her the neccesssary info
I would be delighted if any of you guys can help me with the following info
All records being held by the Pakistani players who will be most likely playing the the worldcup 2003. Include both ODI and test records
