Did you know that Richard Hadlee took a wicket every 39 deliveries?Or that Don Bradman only hit six 6's in his entire test match career?How about the fact that Chris Martin is one of only four players in the history of international cricket to take more wickets than he scored runs?
Well, all this is true. And the reason we know they're true is because at every professional cricket match, there's a person there whose job it is to collect all these statistics.
One of the best-known in New Zealand is Ian Smith (no, not that Ian Smith). He's the head scorer for Cricket Wellington and joins us to talk cricket.
