Batting records Everyone knows that Don Bradman tops the tables for just about any batting category you care to name, but what of the plucky losers? Using the data available at the Wisden Wizard, you can discover which batsmen averaged the most in a losing cause ... and it isn't The Don type of match: Tests match result: lost match qualifications: innings batted >= 20 sorted by: batting average

Bowling records The great Dennis Lillee managed just six Test wickets outside of Australasia and England, and never once ventured onto those fast-bowlers' graveyards in India. But the Wisden Wizard can identify those pacemen who did thrive on the Indian featherbeds type of match: Tests home or away: away (home of opposition) host country: India bowler category: pace bowler qualifications: bowling average <= 30 host country: England sorted by: wickets taken

Fielding records Ian Healy took a whopping 366 catches in his career, but he did have 119 matches in which to set his benchmark. Who are the men who made the biggest impression in their time in the field, however brief? type of match: Tests qualifications: innings fielded in >= 20 sorted by: dismissals per innings

Allround records If your batting average exceeds your bowling average, then you must be a handy allrounder. But who, by that reckoning, are the best allrounders in Test history? No prizes for guessing that Garry Sobers tops the list, but as the Wisden Wizard shows, there is an unexpected name in second place type of match: Tests qualifications: runs scored >= 1000; wickets taken >= 100 sorted by: [user-defined formula] batave-bowlave (descending)

Player analysis Ever feel the need to deconstruct completely the careers of your favourite (or most loathed) cricketers? With the Wisden Wizard you can analyse players' careers in microscopic detail. Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, for example, both average almost twice as much when bowling outside India type of match: Tests for players: Harbhajan Singh (Ind), A Kumble (Ind) sorted by: default

Team records England have a famously woeful record in Ashes Tests at Lord's, with just one win over Australia there in the whole of the 20th century. And India seem to be virtually incapable of winning abroad. But which specific grounds have been the most merciless to visiting sides over the years? type of match: Tests, grouped by ground qualifications: matches won equal to 0 sorted by: matches played

Partnership records On 15 occasions, the last pair have added 50 runs or more in their side's second innings, and gone on to win the match. But only once has this been achieved in the final innings of the match - and Australia were on the receiving end, back in 1994-95 type of match: Tests, partnerships match result: won match match innings: 3rd or 4th partnership number in innings: 10 sorted by: partnership runs

Aggregate records Ever thought it was a myth that the wickets in the subcontinent favour the batsmen? Well, maybe it's true. As the Wisden Wizard shows, seven of cricket's most heartbreaking shirtfronts can be found in South Asia type of match: Tests, grouped by ground qualifications: matches played >= 3 sorted by: average runs per wicket Please send any comments on the Wisden Wizard - or suggested improvements - to feedback.
