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?)"

Following Ngoni Mupamba's century on debut, it made me research LC records for similar instances. I found 6 other instances although I don't guarantee this list is complete. Of these instance, I guarantee Mupamba's is the highest. Only one of these 6 is an international, albeit very briefly.
I could be wrong but this topic may have you scratching your head for ages.
So, does anyone want to guess or do I just spill the beans?

You are referring to Logan Cup debut hundreds right? Not necessarily FC debut hundreds...

Yes, to clarify, this list is maiden first class hundreds on debut in Logan Cup. But. coincidentally, they all were making their FC debut also.

Are you sure about that? One of the guys I thought who qualified as LC debut 100 was Eddie Byrom, but he had made his FC debut for Somerset before that... Byrom might not qualify if you are looking for the very first innings itself. He got it in the second innings of his first LC match.
And by the way, the only international in the list you are looking for must be Friday Kasteni.

Firstly, Kasteni is the international on this list.
Secondly, I was wrong. Byrom would have been on this list. But he is the exception to the others having played other FC matches as noted. Good thing I had my weasel clause about not guaranteeing the list as being complete. And a note to self: check the most recent year completed when checking archives.
So, to clarify. Four of the remaining five were born in Zimbabwe(Rhodesia). Their FC debut was their LC debut(so post 1993/94). On this debut they scored a maiden FC century. (a debut is a debut regardless of the innings).
One of the five was not born in Zimbabwe/Rhodesia. But his FC & LC debut are the same match & he hit a century. No! Not Mohammad Eklakh.
No Waller hit a century on debut Fc or list A.
Phew. I'm digging a bigger hole for myself.

I am not sure how to score these answers. I will have a look at the points and clean things up at the end, I think.

Jethro Mawudzi for Mountaineers in 2009 is another one.

Mawudzi is correct.
These are from the Logan Cup. There are 3 left on my list.
The first two have finished their careers. Their careers were short & they each played the same number of FIRST Class games. One of these two previously represented Zimbabwe under 19s & had a marvelous strike rate.
The third was born in another country & has subsequently played in that country. But his FC debut was his LC debut (unlike Byrom) with a century. He potentially could play again but has been not selected anywhere for a few years.

Well, this must have been some knock:
So, Glen Barrett is another of those debut centurions.
Glen Barrett burst on the cricket scene in Zimbabwe when, just short of his 23rd birthday, he not only scored a century on his first-class debut, but did so off only 54 deliveries, hit 13 sixes in the match, and came within 20 runs of making it two centuries in the match. The feat was achieved for the CFX Academy against Manicaland at Mutare Sports Club, and few cricketers anywhere have made such an impact on debut.
So, Glen Barrett is another of those debut centurions.

Wow well done rusty. I have been struggling with this one off and on and was about to demand more clues!
Score update -
foreignfield : 9
CrimsonAvenger : 8
cricket_22001 : 6.5
rusty17: 3.5
Jemisi : 2
MidWest Rhinos, eugene : 1
Q32 What major milestone did BRMT pass in his hundred yesterday?
We didn't get there on Q32. Taylor passed 20,000 career runs in that knock. The current question will be Q33 and I think .25 for each correct guess at one of the centurions. How does that sound?
