Notes: The following Details are too long to list in the tables above:

  1. (6661L*/41/0)

The following symbols are used in the details:
W = wicket
B = bye
L = leg-bye
X = wide
* no-ball
** no-ball in matches where the playing conditions stipulated 2 runs for a no-ball
/ indicates the batsman changed ends
For extras the number of additional runs precedes the symbol, so for example 4B indicates 4 byes, 4X indicates a wide which went to the boundary so five runs in all, 4B* indicates a no ball missed by the batsman so five no balls in all
Before 2000 no extras were given for a no ball from which runs were scored
