Using information from this blog

The answers and statistical tables posted on the Ask Steven page, and collected on this blog, are supplied by cricket enthusiasts who give freely of their own knowledge and expertise to help satisfy the queries of others. They do not generally mind anyone else using this information for their own purposes, but are likely to object strongly if this is done without crediting the original author, thus potentially giving the misleading impression that the research was done by someone who in fact only copied it. The name(s) of the person or people who gave each answer are noted at the end of it; if you wish to reproduce the answer, whether in full or in part, online or in print, quoted exactly or rephrased, please ensure that you cite this blog (Ask Steven Archive) and include the name(s) of the author(s). Failure to identify the author(s) of any work used constitutes plagiarism.

Most ODIs before first World Cup match

144 H Masakadza (Zimbabwe)
134 Shoaib Malik (Pakistan)
127 RG Sharma (India)
112 Waqar Younis (
Pakistan)
111 RA Jadeja and SK Raina (
India)
109 RP Arnold and TM Dilshan (Sri Lanka)
105 G Gambhir (
India)
101 MJ Clarke (Australia)


Odds and ends:
1. Most ODIs by a player whose debut and the last match was in a WC is 245 by JN Rhodes (South Africa). Rhodes also is the player with most matches in career who made his ODI debut in a WC.
2. Most ODIs by a player whose last match was in a WC is 378 by Inzamam-ul-Haq (Pakistan).
3. Most ODIs by a player who has appeared in only one WC match is 83 by PS de Villiers (South Africa).
