 RCF #6: Vinod Kambli’s Test match average(54.20) is better than his friend Sachin Tendulkar(53.8)

Many touted him as a better batsman than Sachin...he did well initially, but then lost his way.

RCF #7 : The highest number of runs scored in an over is not 36. It’s 77. It happened in a domestic game in New Zealand. The idea was to give as many runs as possible to batsman so they could take risk lose last two wickets. At the end match resulted in draw.

 

Though this is quite popular among cricket fans, cricket statisticians do not recognize this.

Alan border ...93

BTW, smith has won 53 of his 109 matches as captain.Lost 28 and drew 27. South Africa gained as lot of success during his time.Be it home or away,they were the only consistent team.The best test captain I would say.
