List of Australia One Day International cricket records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Day International (ODI) cricket is one of three forms of cricket played at international level.[1] Unlike Test cricket, ODIs consist of one innings per team and is played over the course of single day. Each innings is limited to a maximum of 50 overs, although previously this has been 55 or 60 overs.[2] Matches are played by the twelve teams representing full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC), each of which have permanent ODI status, as well as the eight Associate members of the ICC that currently have temporary ODI status.[3][4] Australia played in the inaugural ODI match against England on 5 January 1971 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[5] They have played a total of 975 matches, second only to India who have played 1,020.[6] As of December 2022[update], Australia is the most third-most successful team in ODI cricket with an overall winning percentage of 63.39, behind the ACC Asia XI on 66.66 percent and South Africa on 63.41.[6]
Top order batsman and former captain Ricky Ponting holds several Australian ODI cricket records. Playing between 1995 and 2012, he scored 13,589 runs, making him the only Australian player to score 10,000 ODI runs.[7] He has scored a record 82 half-centuries and 29 centuries.[8][9] As a slip fielder, Ponting has also taken the most catches for Australia with 159.[10] Captaining his side from 2002 until his retirement in 2012, Ponting holds the ODI record for the most matches played as captain with 230[a] and the record for the most matches played for Australia with 374.[11][12]
Fast bowlers Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee share the record for the most ODI wickets taken for Australia with 380.[13] McGrath also holds the record for the best figures taken by an Australian in an ODI match with 7/15 while Lee holds the Australian ODI record for the most five-wicket hauls with nine.[14][15] Adam Gilchrist is Australia's most successful wicket-keeper having taken 470 dismissals and holds the ODI record for the most catches taken as a wicket-keeper with 417.[b][16][17] Gilchrist also holds the Australian record for playing 97 consecutive ODI matches between 1997 and 2001.[18]

Result records
A ODI match is won when one side has scored more runs than the total runs scored by the opposing side during their innings. If both sides have completed their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher number of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by wickets, indicating the number of wickets that were still to fall.[53]
Greatest win margins (by runs)
The greatest winning margin by runs in ODIs was England's victory over South Africa by 342 runs in the third and final ODI of South Africa's 2025 tour of England. Australia's largest victory was over the Netherlands during the 2023 World Cup by 309 runs.[56]

Best figures in an innings
Bowling figures refers to the number of the wickets a bowler has taken and the number of runs conceded.[181]
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.[182]

Wicket-keeping records
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.[198]
Most career dismissals
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,[199][200] 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.[201]
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][203]

Most slip fielders are top order batsmen.[212][213]

Partnership records
.jpg)
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.
Highest partnerships by wicket
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.[235] 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.[236]
Highest partnerships by runs
The highest ODI partnership by runs for any wicket is held by the West Indian pairing of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels who put together a second wicket partnership of 372 runs during the 2015 Cricket World Cup against Zimbabwe. Fellow West Indians John Campbell and Shai Hope sit in second with their 365 for the opening stand against Ireland in 2019. India's Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid hold the third-highest ODI partnership with 331 made in 1999 against New Zealand. The final ODI against Pakistan in 2017 saw openers David Warner and Travis Head make 284, Australia's highest ODI partnership.[238]
