Cricket 4 Milestones FOREWORD The frequency with which international cricket matches are being played these says if seems a matter of time for the records to be broken. We are not sure for how long Sachin Tendulkar’s records of highest Test Centuries or aggregate will stand. But it’s a fantastic idea to put together the records of the first timers because that’s never going to change. Obviously Sachin Tendulkar will always be mentioned as the first batsman to score 12,000 runs in test cricket, Shane Warne will remain the first bowler to claim 700 test wickets and I will be holding the honour of being the first bowler to capture 500 wickets in One-day Internationals. Quality books on cricket have been coming thick and fast in some other countries and it’s a pleasure to note that the same is now happening in Pakistan also.
