Every paragraph in that article has exactly one sentence.

Also, I wish I knew anything about cricket, so I could decode these babies:

"Bangladesh was batting for survival at tea on day four at 1-67 in its second innings, trailing by 317, with Brett Lee having already removed Javed Omar (19)."

"He joins Brad Hodge, Bob Simpson, Sid Barnes and Syd Gregory as the only Australians to pass 200 with their maiden Test centuries."

I mean, the dude passed 200 in his maiden Test century! WTF?!

Actually, if this feat is actually comparable to the OP's suggestion (pitcher w/4 HR in a game), this is freaking amazing. However, since 4 other guys have seemingly done what this guy did, I don't think it quite matches up. Still pretty cool though I guess.

More than four people have hit four homers in a game.

I bet scores in the hundreds (centuries?) are relatively common (common enough that they keep track of how many a guy has in his career), but 200 is seen as out of reach.

Oh, I see now that that was 4 people to have 200 in their "maiden test" - maybe this is like scoring fifty in your first NBA game?

It also appears Bangladesh is the Royals of cricket.

Cricket is baseball backwards. Instead of getting people out for hours on end until someone smacks the ball a long way, the batsmen smack the ball a long way all day until someone gets them out.
