How many people have made a century and a duck on Test debut, as Keaton Jennings did in Mumbai? asked Rajiv Radhakrishnan from England Before Keaton Jennings debut double of 112 and 0 for England against India in Mumbai, there had been three previous instances of this in Tests. Gundappa Viswanath marked his first cap, for India against Australia in Kanpur in 1969-70, with 0 and 137, while Andrew Hudson made 163 and 0 in South Africas first Test after readmission, against West Indies in Bridgetown in 1991-92. Mohammad Wasim scored 0 and 109 not out on his debut for Pakistan, against New Zealand in Lahore in 1996-97. New Zealands Bruce Taylor had an unusual double in his first match, against India in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1964-65: after making 105 in the first innings - his maiden first-class century - he was left 0 not out in the second when his captain declared. Overall, there have now been 158 instances of a player making a century and a duck in the same Test.At the MCG last week, David Warner scored 159 of Australias 264. Was this a record percentage for a one-day international? asked Chris Abraham from AustraliaDavid Warners superb effort against New Zealand at the MCG last week amounted to 59.09% of the total. This is the second-highest percentage by an Australian in a completed ODI innings, after 60.73% by Damien Martyn, who made an undefeated 116 out of 191, also against New Zealand, after opening in Auckland in 1999-2000. The overall list is headed by two famous one-day innings from the 1980s: at Old Trafford in 1984, Viv Richards scored 189 not out of West Indies 272 for 9 (69.48%) against England, while at Tunbridge Wells during the 1983 World Cup, Kapil Dev thrashed 175 of Indias 266 for 8 (65.78%) against Zimbabwe.I noticed that the UAEs Swapnil Patil scored 99 not out in his first one-day international. Has anyone else come so close to a century on debut? asked Khadim Khan from DubaiSwapnil Patil had reached 98 for the UAE against Scotland when he faced the last ball of the final of the World Cup qualifying competition in Lincoln in New Zealand, in February 2014. Sadly, he could only manage a single, and finished with 99 not out. The only other batsman to score 99 in his first ODI is Eoin Morgan - now Englands captain, but playing for his native Ireland at the time. Morgan was run out towards the end of the Irish innings against Scotland in Ayr in 2006. He received an ICC reprimand for swearing as he left the field following his dismissal.Daniel Vettori took his 100th Test wicket when he was only 21. Was this a record? asked Jamie Houghton from New ZealandDaniel Vettori is one of three bowlers who took their 100th Test wickets when they were only 21. The others are the Indian pair of Kapil Dev and Harbhajan Singh - and Kapil was 26 days younger than Vettori when he reached three figures, in January 1980. Harbhajan, who reached the landmark in May 2002, was about nine months older than Vettori. Ishant Sharma and Saqlain Mushtaq took their respective 100th Test wickets when they were 22, while Waqar Younis, Irfan Pathan, Graham McKenzie, Wasim Akram, Ian Botham and Alf Valentine were all 23. The oldest of the 175 men to take 100 Test wickets so far was the England slow left-armer Bobby Peel, who was 39 years and six months old when he got there in 1896. Australias Clarrie Grimmett and Ray Illingworth of England were also 39 when they reached 100 wickets. Steven Smith faced 157 balls against New Zealand the other day. Whats the longest individual innings in ODIs, by balls faced? asked Chris Appleton from AustraliaSteven Smiths 164 from 157 balls for Australia against New Zealand in Sydney last week was the eighth-longest individual innings for Australia in ODIs, level with Warners 163 from 157 against Sri Lanka in Brisbane, in March 2012. The longest for Australia was by David Boon, who consumed 168 balls in making a match-winning 102 not out against India in Hobart, in 1991-92. But they are all a little way down the overall list, which is headed by New Zealands Glenn Turner, who faced 201 balls in scoring 171 not out against East Africa in Edgbaston during the 1975 World Cup. Turner is second on the table too, having used up 177 balls for 114 not out against India at Old Trafford a week later. These innings, though - and the next three on the overall list - were in 60-over matches: the longest in a 50-over ODI is 173 balls, by Indias Rohit Sharma in his record 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in 2014-15. That just pipped Ashish Bagais 172-ball 137 not out for Canada v Scotland in Nairobi in 2006-07.Which father and son, both Test players, both reached the grand old age of 90? asked David Lambert from England This long-lived pair were Frank Hearne, who played two Tests for England and four for South Africa in the 19th century, and his son George Hearne, who won three caps for South Africa in the 1920s. Both father and son made it past 90 years of age: Frank died in 1949, and George in 1978. Frank also had two Test-playing brothers - Alec, who lived to 88, and George, who reached 75. The list of longest-lived Test players is headed by Norman Gordon, who played five Tests for South Africa in the late 1930s and died in 2014 at the age of 103.Post your questions in the comments below Charles Clay Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- After a half-decade of excruciating decline, the future has finally arrived for the Los Angeles Lakers.Kobe Bryant is gone. A talented young core is in place. Luke Walton is in charge, and the promising young coach has the luxury of time to rebuild a 16-time champion franchise in ruins.It could be multiple seasons, Walton said. It could be six months. You just never know. Its part of whats fun about sports -- to see what you can do as a group. How good can you be as a group? It doesnt matter what other people say, or the expectations that they have. The only thing that matters is how much we believe we can do.The near future might resemble the recent past for the Lakers, who are coming off the worst season in franchise history (17-65).While Walton is receiving rave reviews from his players for the Lakers new up-tempo approach, that hasnt translated into victories during the preseason. Most prognosticators expect them to stay near the bottom of the Western Conference, likely extending their franchise-record playoff drought to four years.But the excitement of the new is still strong with the Lakers, who clung to Kobe and the past for several years after it was advisable.In fact, the Lakers essentially have been waiting five years to start the process that finally began in earnest this summer.After NBA Commissioner David Stern rejected a trade that would have landed Chris Paul with the Lakers in December 2011, they were swept out of the second round of the playoffs for the second straight season in 2012. Dwight Howard and Steve Nash couldnt stop the slide, and the Lakers then produced the three worst seasons in franchise history.Lakers basketball hasnt been much fun since 2013, when Bryants health no longer allowed him to dominate. Bryants binary assessment of the franchise as either a champion or an utter failure was shared by coach Byron Scott, which meant the Lakers constantly felt like losers.The championship clock is off, and the fun is back. The Lakers are practicing to music, and they no longer need to worry about letting down the living legend in their midst.DAngelo Russell, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and rrookie Brandon Ingram are free to grow into whatever their talent allows, and the Lakers intend to let them percolate.ddddddddddddPatience will be very important, Walton said. Not only for me and the rest of the coaching staff, but for the players, the fans, everybody. I think its important we set our foundation, our goals, and not let whether were winning or losing games take us from that path. Obviously you make adjustments as you go, but weve got to stay the course and pay attention to the big picture.---Here are more things to know going into the Lakers season:NEW VETS: The Lakers have a promising seven-player core from the past three drafts, but they paid top dollar to sign forward Luol Deng and center Timofey Mozgov in free agency before trading for Jose Calderon. While Mozgov fills a major deficiency in the middle, the Lakers are hoping Dengs veteran savvy and hustling style rub off on his teammates. For me, its a different role, Deng said. Its a new beginning, but its also a new system that I really like.D-LOS RISE: With the ball-dominating Bryant gone, Russell will be in charge of the Lakers new offense, which should bear a strong resemblance to the schemes used by Golden State. The 20-year-old point guard will be asked to advance in his development, increasing his assists from 3.3 per game while keeping up his steady outside shooting, which improved down the stretch. Oh, and he should probably stick to minimal use of social media, too.INGRAM ARRIVES: The No. 2 pick in the draft carries constant comparisons to Kevin Durant on his skinny shoulders, but the Lakers will be cautious with Ingrams development under minimal pressure. He already might be one of the Lakers better defensive players, and hell get plenty of outside shots in Waltons sets. He also appears to be adjusting well to the pro lifestyle heading into the 82-game grind.PEACE IN OUR TIME: Final roster decisions havent been made, but Metta World Peace is hoping to stick around for a 17th NBA season. He is four months older than Walton.
