=> To date there have been four one-wicket victories in World Cup matches, two of them in 2007, whenSouth Africa beat Sri Lanka, and England pipped West Indies. But the most famous of them - and the one that involved the highest last-ditch stand - came at Edgbaston in 1975, when West Indies dipped to 203 for 9 chasing Pakistan's 266. However, from that deeply unpromising position Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts nervelessly knocked off the 64 runs required to seal victory - one that confirmed West Indies as the tournament favourites. Pakistan returned the favour in 1987, defeating West Indies by one wicketin Lahore, in the only World Cup match to date in which the winning runs came off the last ball of the game

=> Virender Sehwag has launched
all five of India's innings in this
World Cup to date by hitting the
first ball for four. Precise records
aren't available for all matches,
but for once it seems safe to
pronounce that this is
unprecedented - in World Cup or
all one-day international cricket.
The suffering bowlers
were Shafiul Islam, Jimmy
Anderson , Boyd
Rankin, Mudassar Bukhari and
Dale Steyn

=> After five legitimate balls against
Sri Lanka in Pietermaritzburg in
2003, Bangladesh were looking
at a scoreboard that read 5 for 4.
Chaminda Vaas took a hat-trick
with the first three balls of the
match, then, after a four and a
wide, Sanwar Hossain was
trapped leg-before. Alok Kapali,
who might have been expecting
to put his feet up in the dressing
room for a while, survived the
sixth delivery: he remains the
only No. 6 batsman to have been
required to face a ball in the first
over of any international match

=> Keith Arthurton, a bouncy left-
hander from Nevis who was also
a predatory fielder, looked set to
play an important part in West
Indies' campaign at the 1996
World Cup. But his five innings
produced scores of 1, 0, 0, 1 and
0, and his international career
never really recovered

=> The Zimbabwe legspinner Adam
Huckle faced two balls in his
World Cup career - and was
dismissed by both of them. Both
were in 1999, and the second
golden duck came as part of a
Saqlain Mushtaq hat-trick

=> Shem
Ngoche, the Kenyan slow left-
armer, is threatening Huckle's
record in 2011:
he had faced three balls in
this World Cup and been
dismissed by all three, none of
which he managed to hit.

=> The not-so-proud owner of the
worst bowling average in World
Cup history is the New Zealand
offspinner John Bracewell, who
took 1 for 310 in seven matches,
for an average of 310

=> The best bowling
average in the World Cup is held
by an unlikely figure indeed:
Mohammad Yousuf took a wicket
(Christopher Mpofu of
Zimbabwe) with his only delivery,
in 2007, for a perfect average of
0.00.

=> Imposing a rather more
sensible qualification of 10
wickets, the leading average is
5.63 by Gary Gilmour (11 wickets
for 62 in 1975), with Imran Tahir
(8.90) not far behind
