The first Centurion five-for Wisden CricInfo staff - October 10, 2001
• Shaun Pollock took 5 for 37, the best bowling figures in a one-dayer at Centurion. The record was previously held by Allan Donald, who took 4 for 37 against Zimbabwe in 1996-97. • Pollock also became the 16th bowler, and the second South African after Allan Donald, to take 200 wickets in one-day internationals. He was playing in his 138th match. • Pollock's five-for was the fourth by a South African in one-day matches against India. The others are: Allan Donald (5 for 29 at Calcutta in 1991-92), Hansie Cronje (5 for 32 at Cape Town in 1992-93) and Lance Klusener (5 for 42 at Bloemfontein in 1996-97). This was the 40th match between the sides. • Sourav Ganguly became the sixth batsman to hit 100 sixes in one-day internationals, after Sanath Jayasuriya, Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Akram and Shahid Afridi. Jayasuriya holds the record with 145. Ganguly was playing in his 176th match. • When he reached 24, Rahul Dravid became the fifth Indian -- after Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammad Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly and Ajay Jadeja -- to make 5000 one-day runs. He was playing in his 158th match. • South Africa's total of 192 was their lowest in one-day internationals at Centurion. Their previous lowest was 198 for 9 against Pakistan in 1992-93. • Harbhajan Singh took 3 for 27, his best bowling figures in ODIs, surpassing the 3 for 29 he took against Sri Lanka in Colombo in July 2001. He was playing in his 30th match. • In his 98th match, Mark Boucher became the 12th South African to make 1000 one-day runs when he reached 13.
