4th Test, Day 1 at St John's, Antigua

** Wasim Jaffer's career best 86 runs, was the highest by an Indian opener in an away Test match since VVS Laxman's 167 against Australia at Sydney in January 2000.

** Rahul Dravid during his unbeaten innings of 86 (when on 11) became the seventh Indian batsman to aggregate 3000 Test runs while batting in the first innings of a Test match. Sunil Gavaskar has the maximum 6159 runs for India.

** Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed first-ball for the fourth time of his Test career. The first occasion was against New Zealand at Christchurch in February, 1990 when he was caught by keeper' Ian Smith off the bowling of Danny Morrison.

He was then dismissed first-ball against South Africa at Port Elizabeth in December, 1992, when he was caught by keeper' Dave Richardson off the bowling of left-arm pace-man Brett Schultz. The third such dismissal came against Pakistan at Calcutta when Shoaib Akhtar yorked him in the first innings of the Asian Test Championship in February 1999. Incidentally India had lost all the three Test matches.

** This duck was Tendulkar's 10th of his career in his 95th match and 152nd innings. He becomes the 17th Indian batsman to record 10 or more ducks during their career. Among genuine batsmen only Dilip Vengasarkar (15 ducks in 185 innings), Pankaj Roy (14 in 79), Chandu Borde (13 in 97), Mohinder Amarnath (12 in 113), Sunil Gavaskar (12 in 214) & Vijay Manjrekar (11 in 92) have more ducks than Tendulkar, who equals the tally of 10 ducks (in 155 innings) by Gundappa Viswanath.

** It was his third duck in the last four innings, while aggregating just eight runs. This incidentally represents the worst batting slump of his Test career. Incidentally, among 10 other batsmen who have aggregated more Test runs than Tendulkar, only Australian Mark Waugh has had the ignominy of scoring four ducks in a row (all against Sri Lanka in 1992).

** By scoring three ducks in the series, Tendulkar became the only sixth genuine visiting batsman to do so in a series in the West Indies after Englishman Jack Iddon (in 1934-35), New Zealander Ken Rutherford (in 1984-85), Englishman Mark Butcher (1997-98), Australian Matthew Elliott (1998-99) and South African Gary Kirsten (in 2000-01).
