Has any Zimbabwe player made a higher score in a successful ODI chase than Sikandar Raza?
And has a team ever fielded 11 left-handed batters in an international match?

Sikandar Raza's 135 not out as his side overhauled Bangladesh's 303 for 2 in Harare last week - he ended the match with his sixth six - has been bettered for Zimbabwe only by… Sikandar Raza, who hit 141 when they beat Afghanistan in Bulawayo in July 2014. In all, there have now been 13 centuries for Zimbabwe in successful ODI run-chases, including Innocent Kaia's 110 in the same game as Sikandar last week, as well as those by Sikandar and Regis Chakabva in the second match in Harare on Sunday.
In India's innings in that match against West Indies in St Kitts last week, No. 1 Rohit Sharma was the first man out, and Nos. 2 to 10 obligingly followed suit in order, leaving No. 11, Arshdeep Singh, not out. This pleasing progression had happened only one before in a T20 international, by Sri Lanka as they slid to defeat against Pakistan in Colombo in August 2009.
The most left-handers fielded by one team in a men's Test is eight, which has happened three times: by West Indies against Pakistan in Georgetown in 1999-2000, and by West Indies against England at The Oval later in 2000; and by England against Australia in Sydney in 2013-14. There are 38 further instances of a team having seven left-handers.
The lyrics for the musical Chess were written in the early 1980s by Tim Rice and Abba's Bjorn Ulvaeus, with music by Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. I think it's a fair bet that most of the character names came from Sir Tim, a noted cricket lover and former MCC president. The plot pits an American chess grand-master against a Russian: the American is Freddie Trumper, a nod to the legendary Golden Age Australian batter Victor Trumper. The other hidden Test player is a less famous Aussie: Walter de Courcy, part of Trumper's entourage (and later his boss), is apparently named after Jimmy de Courcy, the New South Wales batter who played three Tests in England in 1953. De Courcy turned into "Walter Anderson" when the show started on Broadway, but the New York debut came well before Jimmy's first Test for England.
This is the new book from the elegant Indian batter Gundappa Vishwanath, written with the help of journalist R Kaushik and published by Rupa Books in India earlier this year. It's been a long time coming, given that Vishy played his last Test in 1982-83, but it is an entertaining trip down memory lane. Best of all, it's a hardback! More and more books are coming out in paperback only, and they don't last quite as well on the bulging bookshelves.
