- There were 24 individual hundreds scored during this World Cup. Is this a record for a single tournament?
Yes, the 24 individual centuries in the 2010-11 World Cup is a new record for a single tournament, beating 21 in 2002-03 and 20 in 2006-07. One rather spooky stat is that exactly the same number of runs - 21,333 - were scored in this World Cup as the last one in the West Indies.
- Which man has lost in the most ODIs?
The reluctant leader on this list is Sachin Tendulkar, who had finished on the losing side in 195 one-day internationals . Sanath Jayasuriya ended up losing in 192 of his one-day appearances, while next come Aravinda de Silva (163), Rahul Dravid (162), Mohammad Azharuddin (157) and Arjuna Ranatunga (150). Zimbabwe's Grant Flower played 221 ODIs and lost 149 of them.
