How many fielders have taken a hat-trick of catches?
Also: how many times has a player opened both the batting and bowling in the same match?
Liton Das' 121 overtook Mushfiqur Rahim's 117 as the highest individual score for Bangladesh against India in ODIs • Getty Images
That superb innings by Liton Das in the Asia Cup final in Dubai last week was indeed Bangladesh's highest score against India in one-day internationals, beating Mushfiqur Rahim's 117 in the Asia Cup in Fatullah in 2013-14. Bangladesh's only other ODI century against India was Alok Kapali's 115 in Karachi in 2008, again during an Asia Cup tournament.
Marcus Trescothick's three catches - all of them at second slip - came off successive deliveries as Somerset neared victory over Nottinghamshire in their final Championship match of the season, at Trent Bridge last week.
This particular double is not terribly unusual in one-day internationals - it's happened no fewer than 171 times in total now, by 45 different players. But Mehidy Hasan was the first to do it for Bangladesh, in the Asia Cup final in Dubai last week.
If Surrey had capped that remarkable comeback against Essex at The Oval with victory - perhaps if Ryan Patel had stood a little closer in to Morne Morkel's last delivery to Matt Quinn? - then they would have established a new first-class record. As they didn't, the record remains 402, by Central Districts (62 for 2 declared and 429 for 8) against Northern Districts (464 and 26 for 0 declared) in Lincoln in 2006-07, although that victory owed much to a couple of declarations after the second day's play was lost to rain. The record for a match without such contrivance is 384, by Barbados (175 and 726 for 7 declared) in beating Trinidad (559 and 217) in Bridgetown in 1926-27.
The man who pulled off this unlikely feat was the South African Ralph "Ricey" Phillips in his debut season of 1939-40 for Border, who seem to specialise in unusual hat-tricks (see the second question above). Phillips was chosen for his batting, and made a consistent start to his career, never failing to pass 20 in seven innings across his first four matches. But he wasn't asked to bowl. Finally, in his fifth game - the last of the Currie Cup season - against Eastern Province in Port Elizabeth, Border's captain Stan White decided to give Phillips' legbreaks a try - and he responded by taking a hat-trick in his very first over in first-class cricket, finishing with 5 for 38. His unusual nickname apparently stemmed from a childhood fondness for rice pudding.
