Ridley Jacobs has become the fourth batsman to open in a LOI innings
and remain not out until its end (which is indicated by the fall of
all the 10 wickets, and not the completion of the stipulated number of
overs, in this case).
Jacobs is the first West Indian to do so. The following table shows
the four instances of a batsman carrying his bat through in a
completed LOI innings.
