James Faulkner and Travis Head are the only other Australians with an ODI batting strike rate of above 100. Although, Luke Ronchi achieved a strike rate of 205.40 in his two innings for Australia, before playing 81 matches for New Zealand, finishing his career with a strike rate of 114.50^[132]

A half-century is a score of between 50 and 99 runs. Statistically, once a batsman's score reaches 100, it is no longer considered a half-century but a century.^[135]

Sachin Tendulkar of India has scored the most half-centuries in ODI cricket with 96. He is followed by Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara on 93, South Africa's Jacques Kallis on 86, India's Rahul Dravid and Inzamam-ul-Haq of Pakistan 83 and in sixth with 82 fifties to his name, Australia's Ricky Ponting.^[136]

A century is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings.^[137]

On 15 November 2023, Virat Kohli became the first player to score 50 ODI centuries, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's long-held record of 49. Tendulkar and fellow Indian Rohit Sharma have scored the second and third most centuries, with 49 and 31 respectively, whilst Australia's Ricky Ponting is fourth with 30.^[g][138]

The 6-match series between India and South Africa in February 2018 saw the touring captain Virat Kohli set the record for the most runs scored in a bilateral ODI series, with 558 runs.^[140] Five months later, Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman scored 515 runs on tour during the 5-match series against Zimbabwe.^[141] Australia's tour of India in October 2013 saw India's Rohit Sharma score a total of 491 runs and Australian captain George Bailey finish with 478 runs to his name from the 6-match series.^{[h][144][145]}

A duck refers to a batsman being dismissed without scoring a run.^[146] Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka has scored the most number of ducks in ODI cricket with 34 ahead of Pakistan's Shahid Afridi with 30. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting leads the list of Australians with 20 followed by Adam Gilchrist who failed score a run in an ODI innings on 19 occasions.^[147]

A bowler takes the wicket of a batsman when the form of dismissal is bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped or hit wicket. If the batsman is dismissed by run out, obstructing the field, handling the ball, hitting the ball twice or timed out the bowler does not receive credit.

Pakistan's Wasim Akram held the record for the most ODI wickets with 502 until February 2009 when Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan passed Akram's milestone.^[149] Muralitharan, who continued to play until 2011, finished with 534 wickets to his name. Pakistan's Waqar Younis is third on the list taking 416 wickets. Glenn McGrath of Australia is seventh on the list with 381 ODI wickets^[i] one ahead of his compatriot Brett Lee who finished his career with 380.^[151]

Bowling figures refers to the number of the wickets a bowler has taken and the number of runs conceded.^[169]

No bowler in the history of ODI cricket has taken all 10 wickets in an innings. The closest to do so was Sri Lankan fast bowler Chaminda Vaas. In the opening match of the 2001 LG Abans Triangular Series between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at the Singhalese Sports Club Cricket Ground in Colombo, Vaas took 8/19. Pakistani Shahid Afridi, who returned figured of 7/12 against the West Indies at Providence Stadium in Guyana in July 2013, sits behind Vaas. Australia's undefeated run during the 2003 Cricket World Cup saw Glenn McGrath take 7/15 against in Namibia and Andy Bichel 7/20 against England for the third and fifth best in ODI history. These performances broke the long-standing Australian record of Gary Gilmour's 6/14 set during the semi-final of 1975 Cricket World Cup against England.^[170]

The seven-match ODI series between India and New Zealand in 2002–03 saw the record set for the most wickets taken by a bowler in an ODI bilateral series. Indian paceman Javagal Srinath achieved a total of 18 wickets to his name. His compatriot Amit Mishra equalled this feat during the five-match 2013 Indian ODI tour of Zimbabwe. Three Australians have taken 14 wickets an ODI bilateral series with Pat Cummins the latest to do so during the 2018–19 home series against India.^[185]

The wicket-keeper is a specialist fielder who stands behind the stumps being guarded by the batsman on strike and is the only member of the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg pads.^[186]

A wicket-keeper can be credited with the dismissal of a batsman in two ways, caught or stumped. A fair catch is taken when the ball is caught fully within the field of play without it bouncing after the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat,^[187][188] while a stumping occurs when the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket while the batsman is out of his ground and not attempting a run.^[189]

Australia's Adam Gilchrist is second only Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara is taking most dismissals in ODI cricket as a designated wicket-keeper, with Sangakkara taking 482 to Gilchrist 472.^[j][191]

Adam Gilchrist has taken the most number of catches as a designated wicket-keeper in ODI cricket with 417.^[b] He sits ahead of South Africa's Mark Boucher and Sangakkara on 402 and 383, respectively.^[17]

Adam Gilchrist became the first wicket-keeper to take six dismissals in an ODI innings, setting this record against South Africa at Newlands Cricket Ground in April 2000. Since then a further nine glovemen have matched this feat on a single occasion with Gilchrist achieving it five more times. Pakistan's Sarfaraz Ahmed was the most recent wicket-keeper to achieve the milestone, taking six dismissals against South Africa during 2015 World Cup.^[195]

The ODI cricket record for the most dismissals taken by a wicket-keeper in a bilateral series is held by Brendon McCullum of New Zealand with 19 taken during the seven-match 2002–03 series against India. He sits ahead of Brad Haddin who during the five-match ODI series against Pakistan in 2009–10 took 17.^[198]

Caught is one of the nine methods a batsman can be dismissed in cricket.^[l] A fair catch is defined as a fielder catching the ball, from a legal delivery, fully within the field of play without it bouncing when the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat.^[187][188] The majority of catches are caught in the slips, located behind the batsman, next to the wicket-keeper, on the off side of the field. Most slip fielders are top order batsmen.^[200][201]

Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene holds the record for the most catches in ODI cricket by a non-wicket-keeper with 218. He is followed former Australian captain Ricky Ponting who secured 160 catches in his ODI career.^[m][203]

The seven-match 2002–03 series between New Zealand and India saw the record set for the most catches taken by a non-wicket-keeper in an ODI series with New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming taking 10 catches. South African Jacques Kallis and the West Indies' Kieron Pollard are equal second behind Fleming with nine. Both George Bailey and Aaron Finch leads the list of the Australians with seven catches taken during the 2011–12 tour of the West Indies and the 2012–13 home series against the West Indies, respectively.^[204]

India's Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the most ODI matches played with 463, followed by the Sri Lankan pair of Mahela Jayawardene with 448 and Sanath Jayasuriya with 445. Former captain Ricky Ponting is the most capped Australian having represented his country on 374 occasions.^[206]

India's captain from 2007 to 2018, MS Dhoni, is third on the list with 200. In fifth on 178 is Australia's Allan Border who led the side for ten years from 1985 to 1994.^[11]

The youngest player to play in an ODI match is claimed to be Hasan Raza at the age of 14 years and 233 days. Making his debut for Pakistan against Zimbabwe on 30 October 1996, there is some doubt as to the validity of Raza's age at the time.^[214][215] The youngest Australian to play ODI cricket was Pat Cummins who at the age of 18 years and 164 days debuted in the first ODI of the series against South Africa in October 2011 eclipsing the record that Josh Hazlewood had set against England 16 months earlier.^[213]

In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the crease batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is dismissed, retires or the innings comes to a close.

A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings is closed.

As of November 2023, Australia only hold the world record for the 8th-wicket partnership, with a 202* stand between Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins against Afghanistan at the 2023 World Cup.^[223] The eighth wicket partnership of 119 by the pairing of Paul Reiffel and Shane Warne in 1994 against South Africa was also an ODI wicket partnership record at the time of posting.^[224]
