5Number of West Indies batsmen who have carried their bat through a Test innings. Kraigg Brathwaite became the fifth. The only other West Indies batsman to carry his bat in the last 20 years was Chris Gayle, against Australia at Adelaide Oval in 2009-10. The three instances prior to Gayle were all by Desmond Haynes, between 1986 and 1993. Frank Worrell (1957) and Conrad Hunte (165) were the other two to achieve this feat.
9 Instances of batsmen carrying their bat against Pakistan - the second-most against any side. Three of the last four instances against Pakistan, before Brathwaite, were by Zimbabwe players. There were five instances of batsmen doing this against Pakistan in 1990s but Brathwaite is only the second since 2000. The team against which this has happened the most is England (13 times), and the least is against Sri Lanka (twice).
1 Only one of the previous six instances of West Indies batsmen carrying their bat have resulted in wins - Haynes (143*) against Pakistan in Port of Spain in 1992-93. Overall, only 13 of the previous 50 instances have resulted in wins.
3 Batsmen who have carried their bat in the last 14 months. Dean Elgar and Cheteshwar Pujara did this last year. There were no such instances for about three-and-a-half years between January 2012 and August 2015.

3 Number of top-order batsman (Nos. 1 to 6) to bag two pairs in a year - Asad Shafiq became the third. The previous two were: Mohinder Amarnath in 1983 and Mark Waugh in 1992.
