World first-class record!
Pakistan Television defend a target of 40, defeating Sui Northern Gas Pipelines by 2 runs at Karachi in the President's Trophy.
Fast bowler Amad Butt took 4-28 in 10 overs and slow left-armer Ali Usman a sensational 6-9 in 9.4 as they routed SNGPL for 37.
They beat a 232-year-old record set when Oldfield skittled MCC for 34 chasing 41 at the old Lord's in 1794.

England wicketkeeper Bob Taylor scored his maiden first-class century when he reached 100 for Derbyshire against Yorkshire at Sheffield on 19 June 1981.
He had accumulated 10,324 runs before he went out to bat, and on 19 overtook Tony Lock (10,342) as the cricketer with most first-class runs but no century.
On completing his hundred, he handed the record back to Lock, who still holds it.

In the current Test between New Zealand and West Indies at Mount Maunganui, Tom Latham (137 & 101) and Devon Conway (227 & 100) have become the first opening batters who both scored centuries in both innings of any first-class match.
The closest previous instance also took place in New Zealand: Bert Sutcliffe (141 & 135) and Don Taylor (99 & 143) for Auckland v Canterbury at Auckland in January 1949.

Arunachal Pradesh are the perennial whipping boys of the Ranji Plate (bottom division).
In 2023/24, they conceded the fastest triple-hundred and most sixes in an innings to Hyderabad's Tanmay Agarwal.

And in 2024/25 they suffered the second-highest third-wicket partnership, 606* by Goa's Kashyap Bakhle and Snehal Kauthankar (Goa declared, unaware they were 19 short of a world record).

Akash Kumar Choudhary has scored first-class cricket's fastest fifty off just 11 balls (beating 12), including eight successive sixes (beating six).
He came in with Meghalaya already 576-6 against Arunachal Pradesh. Meghalaya went on to win by an innings and 446.

New on my blog: https://aspi.blog/2024/03/10/all-time-xis-county-legends/
#cricket #CricketMastodon #FirstClassCricket #CountyChampionship #photography #birds #insects
An all time XI of county legends with a new season a mere 25 days away. Also a photo gallery. -
As I've moved to a new instance, it's time for another #introduction - and whereas writing the first one felt deeply uncomfortable, this time it seems a lot easier. That's the transition from Twitter-brain to Mastodon-brain.
Who I am is more or less this: I'm an #autistic #Welsh person who lives in beautiful #Tynedale, and I spend my working time fiddling about with emergency #healthcare #data to improve care quality in the #NHS. I have issues with #anxiety and #loneliness, and I'm an abuse survivor. Because of the past abuse, I keep myself anonymous all over the internet; however, I've been using the Rollo Treadway alias for so long that it feels like part of me, my alter ego. So feel free to call me Rollo.
And I'm okay with they/them pronouns (because I don't really feel I fit within any gender identity) and also he/him (because that's what everyone offline has always used for me). Or frankly, any other pronouns, it's all good.
I migrated to #Mastodon from #Twitter during 2022 (initially at the start of the year, but properly in the autumn) and am very happy here.
Politically, I'm a #HandwringingLeftyLiberal, and like my bio says, I really don't have any time for Tories. This includes any close equivalents to Tories in other countries.
I love #trees and #woodland, I like to go #walking when I feel physically/mentally able, I'm fascinated by #birds but am hopeless at identifying them. I am *very* serious about #tea, I am (obviously) devoted to #SilentCinema, I'm unhealthily focused on #cricket (mostly #FirstClassCricket, #TestCricket and #CountyCricket, the white ball stuff isn't really for me), and especially #Durham in the #CountyChampionship. And in #football, I support #Gateshead.
Finally, I promise this is the last time I will do such a long post, and the last time I will put hashtags in the middle of the post rather than all at the beginning or end. I think hashtags in the middle is permitted for an introduction, or I hope so anyhow.
HELLO!
