It would not be wrong if Test cricket is called the biggest platform for patience, concentration and technique. Here the goal is not only to score runs, but it is equally important to put the team in a strong position by staying at the crease for a long time. An example of this patience are the slowest centuries scored in Test cricket, which are still remembered with different respect in the history of cricket.

Mudassar Nazar – Pakistan

At the top of this list is Pakistan’s Mudassar Nazar, who completed his century in 557 minutes against England in Lahore in 1977-78. This was not just slow batting, but a great example of saving the team in difficult situations. This innings of his is still considered to be the slowest century in Test history.

Jackie McGlue – South Africa

At second place is Jackie McGlue of South Africa, who scored a century in 545 minutes against Australia in Durban in 1957-58. In that era, bowling was very challenging and the pitches were also not very helpful for the batsmen. In such an environment, this innings of McGlue was very popular.

Asanka Gurusingha – Sri Lanka

At third place comes Asanka Gurusingha of Sri Lanka, who completed his century in 535 minutes against Zimbabwe in Harare in 1994-95. This innings was extremely strategic, as Sri Lanka’s priority in that match was to avoid defeat, and Gurusingha spent his time playing accordingly.

Jeff Crowe – New Zealand

Jeff Crowe of New Zealand scored a century in 516 minutes against Sri Lanka in the Colombo Test in 1986–87. This innings shows how a calm mind and correct technique can keep the bowlers troubled for a long time.

Sanjay Manjrekar – India

India’s Sanjay Manjrekar completed his century by playing a 500-minute blockathon innings in Harare in 1992-93. Despite the difficult pitch, slow outfield and tight bowling attack, this century of Manjrekar is counted among the classic innings of Indian cricket.

2 greats of England also in the list

England’s Peter Richardson (488 minutes, 1956-57) and Keith Fletcher (458 minutes, 1974) also have a place in this record list. Both of them played slow innings in such matches, where the team’s aim was to stay at the crease more than to score runs.

Video: A shocking video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which it can be seen that a woman is standing in a moving train with a stone in her hand. As soon as another train passes nearby, she suddenly throws a stone at the loco pilot of that train. The stone hits the engine window directly and the loco pilot has a narrow escape. This incident happened so suddenly that even the people present there were surprised. It is being told that this video is of a local train in Mumbai.

Woman shows finger after throwing stone

It is clearly visible in the video that the woman is already somewhat angry and is standing near the window of the train. As soon as another train comes in front of her, she throws the stone with force and then starts muttering something. After that she is seen pointing her finger towards the other train and saying something. The passengers who recorded the video said that the woman’s behavior was strange from the beginning and she was shouting at the people nearby without any reason.

Loco pilot lodged complaint

As soon as information about the incident was received, the Railway Protection Force took the matter seriously. Officials are trying to identify the woman on the basis of the video. The place where this incident took place has not been confirmed yet. A complaint has also been filed on behalf of the loco pilot.

Railway officials say that if the stone had directly hit the loco pilot, a serious accident could have occurred. The Railway Department has appealed to the passengers that such activities are very dangerous and they should immediately inform the Railway Police about such people.

Most matches as captain: Captaining on the cricket field is not an easy task. In every match, it is the responsibility of the captain to deal with strategy, team selection and pressure.

Let’s know about those players who have captained the most matches on international level (Test, ODI and T20).

Cricket Weird Record: Cricket is called “Gentleman’s game”, but many times on the field, such records are made, which also make laughter and surprise. There are some records that players make mistakes even if they do not want to. Today we are telling you about the 5 most strange and unique records of cricket history, which you have hardly heard before.

The youngest ‘Six’ in cricket

In cricket, a six means the ball goes directly to the boundary, but former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif changed this definition. In a match against Sri Lanka, he flick the ball a little, the ball hit the wicketkeeper’s helmet and the team got 5 runs (because the ball hit the helmet), he ran and added 1 run from above. That is, he scored a total of 6 runs to reach the ball crossed without boundary, which is a unique record in itself.

Cricket’s shortest Test match

The Test match means a long game which lasts for five days, but in 1932 there was such a Test match between Australia and South Africa which ended in just 5 hours 53 minutes. In this match, South Africa batted first and the entire team was reduced to just 36 runs. Australia then won the match by taking an edge and 72 runs. It became the smallest Test match ever.

The most unique record of ‘Duck’ in ODI

Sri Lankan explosive batsman Sanath Jayasuriya is known for his aggressive batting, but he also has a strange record. The most duck in ODI cricket (0 runs out). He has faced Duck 34 times in his career, out of which he has been Golden Duck (out of the first ball) 10 times. These are a unique and strange record in itself.

Get out 3 times in 24 hours

Pakistan batsman Omar Akmal has made a record that no player would like to repeat. He was dismissed three times in 24 hours in the last match of a T20 series against England. In the match, he was dismissed by scoring 4 runs off the first 9 balls and the match was tied. After that, Akmal again got a chance to bat again in the super over and he again got out. After this, Akmal was dismissed early in the match played the next day. Having been out so many times in a day is a very embarrassing record.

One over in 17 balls

One over 6 is believed to be throwing legal balls in cricket, but Mohammad Samee of Pakistan broke this rule completely. In a match against the West Indies in 2004, he threw 7 no balls and 4 wide balls in one over. That is, a total of 17 balls in one over!
