Four big performances in the second week of October are in the free cricket database: Renshaw's 190 in Durban, Farhan's 238 across three T20Is, Hope's unbeaten 102 off 45 and Voll's unbeaten 131 in Brisbane.
- Matt Renshaw made 190 off 397 balls for Australia in the Durban Test. Australia won by 214 runs.

What is in the database, in short
- ball_by_ball: one row per delivery, with the batter, the bowler, the runs, the extras and how each wicket fell.
- match_info: one row per match, with the venue, the toss, the result and the margin.
- match_players: the playing XI and the officials for each match.
- people: the player registry, with ESPN Cricinfo IDs for joining to other sources.
One thing to note about the ball column. It holds the over and the ball together, so the first ball of over_no 18 is 18.1 and the tenth is 18.10, which reads as 18.1. Filter on over_no and delivery_in_over, which keep them apart.
