Is Kyle Jamieson the tallest man ever to play for New Zealand?
Also: were Eoin Morgan's seven sixes with no fours against South Africa a record in T20Is?
Eoin Morgan's match-winning burst against South Africa in Centurion earlier this month was actually the third innings in all men's internationals (note that the number of fours hit by Jimmy Sinclair in the Cape Town Test of 1902 is not known) - but the first for a Test-playing country - to contain seven sixes but no fours.
The Auckland fast bowler Kyle Jamieson, who made a stunning debut in Wellington, dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli in his first four overs, does seem to be the tallest man to play a Test for New Zealand. He is reportedly 203cm tall - that's six foot eight inches - which is a centimetre more than Peter Fulton, a batsman who rejoiced in the nickname "Two-Metre Peter". Fulton's finest hour was scoring 136 and 101 - his only two Test centuries - against England in Auckland in 2012-13. Some sources, however, suggest that fast bowler Kerry Walmsley, who played three Tests for New Zealand between 1995 and 2000, is also 6ft 8in.
The Peshawar-born seamer Khizar Hayat had a dream start to his representative career: in an official T20I for Malaysia against Hong Kong in Kuala Lumpur last week, he dismissed Kinchit Shah with his first ball, and Scott McKechnie with his fourth, before conceding a run: he finished with 5 for 4 in his two overs as Malaysia won a rain-affected match.
Pakistan's eight Tests without defeat at the Basin Reserve - they have won three times there - comes in second on this particular list: Sri Lanka have played nine Tests at the Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe without defeat, winning five. South Africa have also played seven Tests in Wellington without ever losing, while England are undefeated in seven in Delhi. England have also never lost in six Tests in Kanpur, while India have drawn all six of their Tests in Georgetown; New Zealand have won five out of six at Bulawayo's Queens Club, with one draw.
Only two players born in the USA have appeared in Tests so far, and neither of them did so for England. The first was Kenneth "Bam Bam" Weekes, who was born in Boston, Massachusetts: he played only twice for West Indies, but did score 137 in his second match, against England at The Oval in 1939, in the last Test before WWII. The other was Jehan Mubarak, who played 13 Tests for Sri Lanka between 2002 and 2015: he was born in Washington DC in 1981, while his father was working there as a scientist.
