1750 being 50 x 35 (5 x 6 and run 5 off the last ball) that is facing the first ball and then all the remaining 299 balls

I just realised the batsman would need to open as well

Very close, could he not hit all sixes in the last over
1401. If there is a ran 5 on the last ball in every over and the last ball can still go for 6.

I worked it out on running one to face each over - I think infinity could come into it now as you could run more than 5
Is this a SUSSEX batsman?

In theory they could run any odd amout of runs off the last ball ie 3,5,7,9,11, etc .

1653
49 overs of 33 (5 sixes and run 3, five is a bit silly)
last over 36
49 overs of 33 (5 sixes and run 3, five is a bit silly)
last over 36
(5 x 6, plus 1 x 3) x 49, plus (6 x 6) = 1653
Working on the basis that you stated NO OVERTHROWS, and it is 'impossible' to run a five without mis-fields / overthrows. If you are allowing fives then the answer is effectively infinite, as he 'might' run a seven or a nine, or a forty-three...

As this is a hypothetical puzzle it is possible to run any amount off the last ball in this scenario with the batsman at the non striking end baacking up really well.

This is the answer usually given - but I like the running 5 scenarios - it would be the most mental game ever i.e
Wright not out 1653
Nash not out 0

Bowler X has the following stats this season. What is the maximum number of wickets he can take?
County Championship Div 2: he takes the wicket of odd numbered batsman only with an overall strike rate of one wicket very 63 balls
50 Over Competition: he takes the wicket of even numbered batsmen only with an overall strike rate of one wicket every 43 balls
T20: he takes both odd and even numbered batsmen with an overall strike rate of one wicket every 23 balls
County Championship Div 2: he takes the wicket of odd numbered batsman only with an overall strike rate of one wicket very 63 balls
50 Over Competition: he takes the wicket of even numbered batsmen only with an overall strike rate of one wicket every 43 balls
T20: he takes both odd and even numbered batsmen with an overall strike rate of one wicket every 23 balls
meanwhile... back in the surreal world of Specsavers County Championship Division Two:
128.6 Garton to Gleeson, no run
128.5 Garton to Gleeson, no run
128.4 Garton to Gleeson, no run
128.3 Garton to Gleeson, no run
128.2 Garton to Gleeson, no run
128.1 Garton to Duckett, 1 run
End of over 129 (1 run) Northamptonshire 465/7
Given the state of the game, what is the point of this??

Duckett would only be Northamptons eight ever triple centurion (that was easier to say than the answer the next Cricket Maths puzzle).

Does he play in 20 20 finals and 50 over finals and plays every innings possible in CC games

Slightly OT BBC Sport suggesting Kevin Peterson may go back to ply international cicket for S Africa.

Yes (this is hypothetical not an actual Sussex bowler...).
