An Irish record, and the World Cup's biggest stand

Jeremy Bray carried his bat through Ireland's 50-over innings against Zimbabwe. How many times has this happened in the World Cup? asked Rae Clarke from Galway

That fine effort from Ireland's Jeremy Bray at Kingston was the 10th time someone had batted through his country's allocation of overs in the World Cup. The first instance was on the opening day of World Cup matches, in 1975: after England made 334 for 4 in their 60 overs at Lord's, Sunil Gavaskar occupied 174 balls for 36 not out as India crawled to 132 for 3 and a 202-run defeat.

Who was the first Test captain to bag a pair? asked Reuben Johnson from Stoke

I enjoyed watching Bermuda during this World Cup. Have any of their players made a century? asked Kevin McNamara from the United States

None of the Bermudian players managed a century in this World Cup - their highest score was David Hemp's 76 not out against India at Port-of-Spain. But they do have one century to their credit in one-day internationals: Irvine Romaine, their World Cup captain, made 101 against Canada at Toronto in August 2006.

I seem to recall that David Boon kept wicket for Australia in a couple of one-day games. When was this? asked Andy Haensel from Australia

David Boon only started one match as Australia's designated wicketkeeper - appropriately enough, it was during the World Cup, in 1991-92, after Ian Healy injured his hamstring in the previous match, against South Africa at Sydney (Boon kept wicket in that game, too, as Healy was unfit). The next match was against India, at Brisbane, and Australia ended up winning by one run after Boon collected Steve Waugh's throw from the boundary to run out India's last man, Venkatapathy Raju. Boon might have deputised behind the stumps in the odd other game - the records don't always mention stand-ins - but that was the only one of his 181 one-day internationals which he started as wicketkeeper.

Which player is known as "Baby Boof"? asked Ryan Berriman from Brisbane

This is Mark Cosgrove, the South Australian left-hander who was close to a place in the Australian World Cup squad, and it comes from his resemblance to his SA skipper Darren Lehmann - another comfortably built left-hand batsman - whose usual nickname is "Boof".
