Ok ZCF following the great tradition of the Photo Quiz we are going to start a Stats quiz and general stats discussion page to add another dimension to the forum.
I think the scoring system can match the Photo Quiz. Questioners, please update the scores when a correct answer is given.
When asking a question, please be specific about your statistical category to avoid confusion.
Also freely use this thread to discuss stats issues more deeply around the quiz questions as well.
I am going to take the liberty of importing cricket_22001's question about Logan Cup runs to get us started.
1. "Mutizwa has played 83 FC matches, 77 are Logan Cup. One test, one Zim 'A' match plus 4 for the Zimbabwe XI in the Inter-continental Cup make up his career. These figures do not include the current fixture. He is one of 6 players to have scored over 4000 runs in the Logan Cup & is currently in 3rd spot. (Trivia: Does anyone know the other 5?)"

I've been updating my Logan Cup FC records & have a few trivia questions.
I'll start with bowling.
There are 29 players who have taken 100 Fc wickets in the Logan Cup. Only one bowler has never taken 5 wickets in an innings. Who is it?
Secondly, only one bowler who has taken 100 Fc wickets in the Logan Cup has never worn Zimbabwe colours in any format, ie test odi or 20/20. Currently, his whole career is at Logan Cup level. Who is it?
They are not the same bowler. Two different answers.
1. Victor Nyauchi
2. Tapiwa Mufudza

Yes, there were 2 questions, so one point each.
In the Logan Cup batting, there are 43 players who have scored over 2000 runs. But only 2 players in this group have never worn the countries colours in the red or white ball formats. Their entire first class career to date has been in the Logan Cup. Who are they? One point each.

Maybe a bit of research is required for this one. One question but 4 answers for a point each.
4 players have taken 10 wickets in a Logan Cup match but each player has each less than 30 Logan Cup career wickets. Who are they?

Dylan Higgins, the former U19 skipper is one of those, that match where he took 11 is very much etched in memory.

Kudzai Maunze should be another. I remember he took 11 wickets in a match once.

I'll close this question.
Malcolm Jarvis took 11 wickets for Mashonaland v Mashonaland Country Districts in 94/95 but only played 6 LC matches for a total of 29 wickets.
Allan Mwayenga took 10-88 for Manicaland against Midlands in 2004/05. He only played 12 LC matches for a total of 25 wickets. He disappeared from the FC scene after the under 23s tour of South Africa in late 2005.

Though he is off the short run up these days, Shingi passes 500 career wickets. 10th Zimbabwean to the milestone.

Blessing with his 21st wicket in T20I moves past Tinashe Panyangara on the list of most T20I wickets for Zimbabwe, and Luke Jongwe now has the best T20I bowling figures for a Zimbabwean! Good game today huh :D

If we're only considering international cricket, just one guy, Andy Flower.
