Hashim Amla needs 90 runs to reach the 5000-mark in ODIs; he has currently played 98 innings, while the record for least innings to 5000 is 11

 

27 Number of times Australia have scored 300 or more after batting first in a home ODI. They've won each of those matches. The highest total they haven't successfully defended at home is 281, against West Indies at the Gabba in 1997.

51.68 The average opening partnership for Australia in ODIs in 2014. They're the only team with a 50-plus average opening stand this year.

12 Number of times openers from both teams have put together century stands in the same ODI; in today's game the first wicket yielded 118 for Australia and 108 for South Africa. The last such instance was in the 2011 World Cup game between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, when Sri Lanka added 282 for the opening wicket, and Zimbabwe responded with 116. The only other such instance in an ODI between Australia and South Africa was also in a World Cup, in 2007 in Basseterre.

5 Number of ODI hundreds for Amla in 2014, which is a record for all batsmen this year. Finch and Virat Kohli have four each.

102 Hashim Amla's score, which was his first ODI century against Australia in 15 innings - his previous-best against them was 97. Amla now has at least one ODI hundred versus every team that he has played at least three innings against.

90 The number of runs Amla needs to reach the 5000-mark in ODIs. He has so far played 98 innings; the current record for least innings to reach 5000 is 114, by Viv Richards and Virat Kohli.

5 Number of ODI hundreds that all Australian batsmen have scored in 2014. Aaron Finch has contributed four of those. The only other hundred was Steven Smith's 101 against Pakistan in Sharjah.

1 Number of times Australia have scored more than 329 in a home ODI against South Africa: in Sydney in 2006, they made 344 for 6 in a VB Series game and ended up winning by 57 runs. This is only their third score of 300 or more in a home ODI against South Africa.

6 Number of times AB de Villiers has scored 50 or more at a 150-plus strike rate in ODIs, including today's 34-ball 52. His best among those is a 27-ball unbeaten 54 against Bangladesh in Benoni in 2008.

6 Number of times Dale Steyn has bowled ten overs in an ODI, and gone wicketless conceding 50 or more runs. This was the second such instance against Australia, which is the only opposition against whom this has happened more than once.

4 The number of ducks for Rilee Rossouw in his first eight ODI innings. His score sequence reads thus: 0,0,36,26,0,0,30,2. His scores in his last four List A innings immediately before his ODI debut read thus: 137,38,74,69.

4 The number of ODIs hosted at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The first match here was played during the 1992 World Cup, but the next one only happened in 2008. Australia have played ODIs here only twice - against West Indies last year, and this game. Before today's game, no player had played more than one ODI here.

ee stats endi ra ayya...

 

 

Hashim Amla needs 90 runs to reach the 5000-mark in ODIs; he has currently played 98 innings, while the record for least innings to 5000 is 11.

 

 

Hashim Amla will likely break the record for fastest to 5000 ODI runs. He already has the record for 2000 (by 5 inns), 3000 (by 12 inns), 4000 (by 7 inns). He missed the 1000 run mark by 4 inns. QDK along with Trott, KP & Viv jointly hold the record for fastest to 1000 runs.

QDK needs 642 runs in 7 inns' to equal Amla's record as the joint fastest to 2000 ODI runs. If he does it in less than 12 inns' then he will be the second fastest behind Amla.

Kohli has the record for fastest to 6000 runs in 136 inns. Going by Amla's avg, he should break that record too. AB has the record for fastest to 7000 in 166 inns which Kohli will overhaul.

 

 

AB needs 881 to get into the 8000 run club. Ganguly is the quickest to that tally in 200 inns. AB has 37 inns to get 881. He will probably break Ganguly's record.

 

 

AB's case, he will reach fastest 8000 in ODIs (in around 185 innings or so) with around 96 overall career strike rate (getting closer & closer to 100 overall match by match) after 175+ ODIs with 51+ overall average..... some unbelievable stats...

 

  Kohli should atleast score 40 ODI 100s (13000-14000 runs, avg around 50, strike rate 90-92) if not more by the end of his career if his 100 scoring rate doesn't drop drastically from now on till next around 8-9 years or so considering good form & injuryless rest of his career.......

 

 

Amla (now already 30 yrs old) probably would not play more than around 150 ODIs considering SA doesn't play too much ODIs per year like IND or SL. The astonishing rate he scores runs and tons in ODIs, even if he plays around 160 ODIs, he will nevertheless score atleast 7500-8000 runs with minimum 25-27 100s (amazingly he goes past 100 in less than every 6th ODI Innings overall for 100+ ODIs already) with around 55 overall average!!!!!!!(more than unbelievable). He will finish with fastest 7000 ODI runs (around 135-140 innings) & may be even 8000 in around 150 innings but not beyond that considering his current age and the rate he/SA plays ODIs per year.

 

 

2. Kohli, because he will play lot more ODIs, will get much more runs in career at the end than Amla but average of Amla (54-55) will stay above that of Kohli (currently 52.61, likely to end up with little less than that, because he will play lot more matches than Amla at the end).
