England sit proudly on top of the list after scoring 444 in the recent one-day international. When was the last time, if ever, they held the record for the highest total? asked Jarvis Powell from South Africa England have actually had five previous spells on top of this list, although two of them were very brief. After scoring 190 in the first official one-day international of all, against Australia in Melbourne in 1970-71, England held the record for little more than three hours, at which point Australia overtook their score and won the match. England reclaimed the record in August 1972, scoring 226 for 4 to overhaul Australias 222 at Old Trafford. They improved that two days later with 236 at Lords … but Australia then made 240 for 5 to win the match and reclaim the record. Australia improved the mark with 265 for 5 against New Zealand in Christchurch in 1973-74, but England went one better in July 1974, scoring 266 for 6 at Headingley to trump Indias 265.That 266 remained the record going in to the inaugural World Cup, in England in 1975. On the first day, Australia made 278 for 7 against Pakistan at Headingley, and New Zealand 309 for 5 against East Africa at Edgbaston … but England topped the lot at Lords with 334 for 4 - a total considered so huge that India made no attempt to chase it, even though in those days they had 60 overs at their disposal. That 334 remained the highest ODI total for eight years, until Pakistan made 338 for 5 against Sri Lanka in Swansea during the 1983 World Cup.West Indies raised the bar to 360 during the 1987 World Cup, against Sri Lanka in Karachi, but England reclaimed the record with 363 for 7 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in 1992. Sri Lanka beat that by smashing 398 for 5 against Kenya in Kandy during the 1996 World Cup - and, until they amassed 444 for 3 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge last week, England hadnt held this record since.Both New Zealands openers at Centurion were out for ducks. How often has this happened in Tests? asked David Morrison from New Zealand The double failure of Martin Guptill and Tom Latham against South Africa in Centurion last week was actually the 52nd time both openers had fallen for ducks in the same Test innings. The previous instance was by Sri Lankas Dimuth Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva, against India in Galle in August 2015. Earlier in 2015, Guptill and Latham also made ducks against England at Lords (Latham was again out for a golden duck, but Guptill lasted two balls). What made this latest one unusual was that they both fell first ball, and both in Dale Steyns first over. As far as I can see, this has happened only once before in Tests - in Pakistans second innings at Headingley in 1982, as Wisden confirms: By the end of [Bob] Willis opening over Mohsin Khan and Mudassar Nazar were both out, Mohsin caught behind driving loosely against the first ball and Mudassar edging the fifth and his own first, a rising delivery, to third slip. Both Englands openers were out first ball against New Zealand in Christchurch in 1932-33, but while Herbert Sutcliffe fell to the first ball of the match, Eddie Paynter was out to the first delivery of the second over.England hit 16 sixes in their 444 for 3 at Trent Bridge. Was this a record? asked Jatin Krishnamurthy from India The 16 sixes in the record ODI total of 444 for 3 at Trent Bridge last week was a new record for England - beating 15 in their 399 for 9 against South Africa in Bloemfontein in February - but is some way down the overall list, in joint 13th place. The most sixes in any ODI innings is 22, by New Zealand against West Indies in Queenstown on New Years Day in 2014. Remarkably, that came from just 21 overs - and 14 of the sixes were hit by Corey Anderson. Wahab Riaz conceded 110 runs in his ten overs at Trent Bridge, without taking a wicket. What are the records for conceding most runs without taking wickets in all three formats? asked Gaurav Shukla from India Wahab Riazs final figures of 0 for 110 at Trent Bridge last week were comfortably Pakistans most expensive in one-day internationals - it surpassed Riazs own 2 for 93 against South Africa in Johannesburg in March 2013. The only bowler to concede more in any ODI innings is Australias Mick Lewis, with 0 for 113 in the famous 872-run match against South Africa in Johannesburg in March 2006. The only other man to concede more than 100 in an ODI without taking a wicket is New Zealands Tim Southee, against India in Christchurch in March 2009. The record in Tests remains Khan Mohammads 0 for 259 for Pakistan against West Indies in Kingston in 1957-58, in the innings in which Garry Sobers made 365 not out, while the worst in T20Is is Sanath Jayasuriyas 0 for 64 for Sri Lanka v Pakistan in Johannesburg in September 2007, during the inaugural World T20.What are the fastest five-wicket hauls in Tests, in terms of balls bowled? asked Amit Kumar from India The fewest balls required to take five wickets in a Test match is 12, by Jacques Kallis in the course of his 5 for 21 for South Africa against Bangladesh in Potchefstroom in October 2002. That just bettered a burst of 5 for 0 in 13 balls by Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis, also against Bangladesh, while taking 6 for 55 in Dhaka the previous season. Jim Lakers 9 for 37 in the first innings of the Ashes Test at Old Trafford in 1956 (which he finished with a record 19 for 90), also included a spell of 5 for 0 in 13 balls. The fastest five-for from the start of a bowling spell in a Test is 19 balls, set by Australias Ernie Toshack against India in Brisbane in 1947-48, and equalled by Stuart Broad for England against Australia at Trent Bridge in 2015.Following on from last weeks question about Mohammad Amir having played 18 Tests without taking a catch, who has taken the most catches off their own bowling in Test cricket? asked Richard Vince from England Theres a tie at the top of this particular table in Tests: both Anil Kumble and Muttiah Muralitharan took 35 return catches. Theyre a long way clear at the top: Daniel Vettori and Shane Warne both took 21 caught-and-bowleds, and Derek Underwood 20. Murali also took 35 in one-day internationals, six more than the next best, by the New Zealander Chris Harris. Shahid Afridi took 24 caught-and-bowleds, and Saqlain Mushtaq 20.Send in your questions using our feedback form. Vincent Kompany Jersey .

Idle since its comeback effort against Clemson fell short to start the month, Louisville will play its first home game in nearly a month when the No. 7 Cardinals (4-1, 2-1 ACC) host unranked Duke (3-3, 0-2 ACC) in a nationally televised (ESPN) ACC contest at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.The Cardinals last home game was Sept. 17 when they blasted Florida State 63-20.Since then, they have been on the road for games at Marshall (a 59-28 win) and Clemson (a 42-36 loss) and then were off last week.It will be good to be back home, Cardinals coach Bobby Petrino said at his weekly press conference. It feels like we havent been home forever. It seems like a long time since we have played here in our stadium so it will feel great to be back here in our home.Though Saturday is college footballs traditional game day, this will be the second Friday night game of the young season for the Cardinals, who beat Syracuse 62-28 back on Sept. 9.I think its great, the night environment, and the crowd, and the excitement for our players, Petrino said. It always gives you a huge advantage to play at home and play under the lights and play with our crowd.So we just have to hopefully come out and have the same type of atmosphere that we had for the Florida State game. Then it is up to us to come out and perform and make plays and play the way that were capable of playing.And the Cardinals are capable of playing very well, especially on offense.With Heisman candidate -- some might say leading contender -- Lamar Jackson leading the way at quarterback, the Cardinals lead the nation in scoring with their 58.0 points-per-game average and also lead in total offense with an average of 659.2 yards per game.Jackson has rushed for a team-best 688 yards (137.6 average per game) and passed for another 1,625, or 325 per game. He has rushed for a remarkable 14 touchdowns and passed for another 14 against only four interceptions.Wide receiver James Quick is his favorite target with 23 receptions for 443 yards and four touchdowns, but another 15 players have at least one catch for the Cardinals.Despite the loss to Clemson in their last outing, the Cardinals remain very much in the nationaal playoff picture and retain hopes that winning out will get them one of the four coveted spots.dddddddddddd.They also remain in contention in the ACCs Atlantic Division race for a spot in the conference championship game but will need to win out and have Clemson lose twice in league play for a shot at that.Duke, which had a signature win at Notre Dame earlier this season, is coming into the game after a 13-6 win over Army that put the Blue Devils back at .500 for the season. The Blue Devils pitched a shutout in the second half as the two teams fought in torrential rain conditions brought on by Hurricane Matthew.The Blue Devils passed for only 44 yards, with quarterback Daniel Jones completing 7 of his 15 pass attempts.Of major concern for coach David Cutcliffs crew is the health of his team.Running back Jela Duncan left the Army game with a leg injury, and center Austin Davis also departed with a leg injury. It appears both players might miss the game at Louisville.Hopefully, we heal quickly, Cutcliffe said. We all know we have a big task in front of us.Davis left in the second quarter against Army. Duncan departed in the third. Duncan is Dukes leading rusher and has scored four touchdowns this season. He carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards against Army. The injury came after he missed the previous game against Virginia with a leg injury.I dont think either one of them are surgical circumstances, Cutcliffe said. That doesnt mean theyre immediately back. And with a short week, you kind of just have to wait and see.At least the Blue Devils have Shaun Wilson, a speedster with experience, to help fill in at tailback, but its more complicated with Davis out of the mix. He has started every game.To adjust against Army, which recorded five sacks against the Blue Devils, left guard Zach Harmon, a redshirt sophomore, moved to center and freshman Julian Santos took over at guard.When a guy like Zach Harmon bumps over there at center and we dont have a single bad snap in that weather, pat him on the back, Cutcliffe said. Thats a big-time effort on his part. ' ' '
