4. Charles Coventry (Zimbabwe)

Charles Coventry once held the record for the highest ODI score

Charles Coventry is a cricketer who has played for Zimbabwe in 2 Tests and 37 ODIs. A batsman by trade, the 33-year old's biggest claim to fame is his top score of 194 not out. It was the highest in ODI cricket for a while before Sachin Tendulkar scored the first ever double century in the format.

The Zimbabwean batsman's surname matches with a prominent city in England named Coventry. Located in the West Midlands region, it is the 9th largest city in the country. Charles Coventry, however, is not related in any way with the English city apart from his name.
