There are only 3 instances of a batsmen hitting 4 consecutive sixes in a test innings.
Kapil 1990 Vs Eng Lords
Shahid Afridi 2006 Vs India Lahore
ABD 2009 Vs Aus Capetown
The feat of Kapil is more significant as Ind was trying to avoid follow on with last wicket in hand, Still needing 24 to avoid follow on. Kapil took matters in his own hands and settled the trifle matter in 4 balls. A task someone would be very brave to take on let alone succeed.
Other two instances were when the batting side was in strong position with huge lead and in search of some quick runs before declaration. No pressure situation with nothing to loose.

Anderson Cummins is only the second player to represent two different teams in the World Cup (West Indies 1991-92 and Canada 2007). The other is Kepler Wessels who played for Australia in 1983 and for South Africa in 1991-92. A close call was Graeme Hick, who played for England in 1991-92, 1995-96 and 1999, and was in the Zimbabwe squad for the 1983 World Cup but did not get a game.

Most Unbroken Partnerships in Intl Cricket
ABD/Duminy - 16
Dhoni/Kohli - 15
Greenidge/Haynes - 15
Duminy/Miller - 13
Haynes/Richardson - 13
Jayawardene/Sanga - 13
Greenidge/Haynes is very remarkable as openers. Haynes/Richardson is noteworthy too as one down.
Nothing to take away from others but at lower order unbroken partnerships are more feasible.

Rahane is the first Indian captain to score a century at the MCG this century. The last Indian captain to do so was Sachin Tendulkar back in 1999.
Rahane becomes only the 5th Test captain from India to score a Test century in Australia after Azhar, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Kohli.
