Born on 16 October 1883, Ralph Whitehead is the last player to have scored a century on first-class debut playing for @lancscricket - 131* v Notts at Manchester in 1908. He is the only player to score a century and be called for throwing on first-class debut.

Bengal have become the first team to score nine fifties in an innings, in their Ranji quarter-final v Jharkhand. Only one team have had eight in an innings: Australians v Oxford & Cambridge Universities Past & Present in 1893. There are 26 cases of seven. stats.acscricket.com/Records…
