Was Kane Williamson's 251 the highest by a Test captain against West Indies?
Also: which batting position has the highest average in Tests?
It's not quite right: Kane Williamson's 251 in the first Test in Hamilton was actually the second-highest by a captain against West Indies - it remains behind Peter May's 285 not out for England at Edgbaston in 1957. There have been only six other double-centuries by captains against West Indies in Tests, as the list shows.
It shouldn't come as a great surprise - especially to an Australian - that the top name on this list is Don Bradman, who scored 24.28% of Australia's runs in his 52 Tests (and that includes two matches in which he did not bat because of injury). Next on this list, according to Wisden (whose table has a qualification of 20 Tests), come West Indians George Headley (21.38% of their runs in 22 Tests) and Brian Lara (18.87% in 131). The leading current player, in seventh, is Steve Smith (17.49% in 73). Kane Williamson currently sits outside the top ten, with 15.93% after his 251 in Hamilton. He may yet pass the leading New Zealander, Bert Sutcliffe, who lies 12th: he scored 16.87% of their runs in his 42 Tests.
The average score for the openers across all 2393 Tests (and half the 2394th, between New Zealand and West Indies in Hamilton) is 35.80 - that's 36.91 for No. 1, and 34.67 for No. 2. My bet was that No. 3 would be the highest, but even that man, Don Bradman, doing most of his scoring from there only raises the average to 39.78. The winner, if that's the right word, is No. 4, with an overall Test batting average of 40.92.
That's an interesting one, and the answer is a bit of a surprise as it's a specialist bowler rather than a part-timer: the Sri Lankan left-arm wristspinner Lakshan Sandakan has so far played 24 one-day internationals, taking 20 wickets at 58.05 apiece. He's sent down 1076 deliveries - the equivalent of 179.2 overs - but hasn't yet managed a maiden. The second-placed man is probably less of a shock: South Africa's long-time captain Graeme Smith was never a regular bowler, although he did end up with 18 wickets in his 197 ODIs. He served up 1026 deliveries of fairly straightforward offspin - 171 overs - with not a maiden in sight.
The fastest hundred in women's one-day internationals was scored by Australia's Meg Lanning, who got there in just 45 balls against New Zealand in North Sydney in 2012-13. That's actually quicker than any Australian man, a fact I managed to miss last week. Lanning beat the record held by one of her predecessors as captain, Karen Rolton, who reached three figures in 57 balls against South Africa in Lincoln (New Zealand) during the 2000 World Cup.
