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?)"

It'll probably be someone that's played a ton of matches like AC.
I'll say Grant Flower's 34.
That's correct.

Q36. Dion Ebrahim, <daylight>, Tino Mawoyo, Terry Duffin, John Rennie and Ryan Burl - are currently the top 5 in that order for Zimbabwe. What is the record we are talking about?

Most international runs for Zimbabwe without hitting a, as Shahim Chowdury would say 'A Maximum'
Hard to believe Dion Ebrahim played 111 International matches amassing 2668 runs without ever hitting a six :6:

Yup. 2668 career international runs without a sixer hit for Ebrahim. Obviously, I followed up on the recent Cricinfo article so it was probably a little predictable :)
If we get Mawoyo and Burl represent Zim again in future, I would be more than happy for Mawoyo to remain in this list and continue to pile on the runs, but would definitely need Burl to get out of this list quickly :)
Our current coach, Lalchand Rajput is one of the very few players to have more than 100 international runs with no hits to the boundary - neither 4s, nor 6s.

Indeed. Here's one more from the top of my mind:
Q37. Only 43 cricketers have so far achieved this unique feat in all of test cricket's history. Paul Strang is the only Zimbo in this illustrious list. What is the feat and which country has most people in this list? Half a point for each correct answer.

I'll say Strang is one of 43 cricketers who have taken 8 wickets in an innings only once in their career & never achieved 9 or 10 wickets. But the single 8 wicket haul is their test innings best.
So, in the test best bowling in an innings, we discount 10 fers, 9 fers & those taking 8 wickets in an innings more than once.

I missed the moment but 50 career centuries for Taylor with his second innings knock.
A major milestone achieved by only 3 other Zimbabweans.

A century and five wickets in an innings in the same match?
Strang is indeed there in this list as the sole Zimbabwean, but this list is even more special and there are only 23 of them and not 43. Not exactly what I was looking for but on these lines...

This is quite a complicated filtering criteria you have come up with :). I wasn't looking for this, but if this is indeed the case and if there are exactly 43 of them too of this kind, I'll have to give you points for unearthing something like this.
But what I'm looking for is much simpler than this.

Yep,
Blignaut and Jarvis have 3 each.
Olonga got one against Pakistan in the same game as one of Blignaut's - a pretty good fight with us getting 310 in the 4th innings against a strong attack
Streak got one of his against India, signing off from Tests with his best figures of 6-73
And Friend, Hondo, Chigs, Vitori, Panyangara and Chatara have all bagged one each.
That's it. Forgot to add the scores for this one.
