Kobe Bryant has missed more shots than anyone in basketball history. American Samoa conceded 31 goals in one single international football match. Some records speak for themselves. Some records are preferably never mentioned.
For Scotland, they have now taken more games to win their first World Cup game than any nation. They have played 12, lost 12 thus far in three World Cups. They came close against Bangladesh and even more agonisingly against Afghanistan but fell short at the final hurdle.
They are out of the World Cup and are likely to finish bottom of the group. However, they will look to prove their worth in the competition by defeating a full-member nation in their next two fixtures. They face Australia on Saturday but before that they face the Sri Lankans in Hobart.
The Sri Lankans have qualified for the quarter finals thanks to Bangladesh's victory against England on Monday. Victory over the Scots will confirm third place. However, the squad has been beset by injuries.
Four of Sri Lanka's first XI have been injured and been replaced thus far. Dinesh Chandimal, who nearly took Sri Lanka over the line against Australia with a brutal 52 from just 24 balls before retiring hurt with a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Kusal Perera who most recently played in the ODI series victory against England in December.
Rangana Herath won't be risked against the Scots due to a finger injury he picked up attempting a caught and bowled - England and subsequently missed the defeat to Australia.
The Sri Lankans will be expected to hand a 13th defeat to Scotland. However, the Scots will hold a slim hope that they can cause a shock to a unsettled Sri Lankan line-up with Josh Davey spearheading the bowling line-up.
Davey has been one of the Scottish successes of the World Cup alongside batsman Kyle Coetzer, who is just 29 runs from 1000 ODI runs, and will look to move to the top of the wicket-taking list.
Davey has taken 11 wickets during the tournament thus far and is only two behind New Zealand duo Trent Boult and Tim Southee. Davey is excited by the prospect of back-to-back games against full-member nations.
"You have just got to relish the opportunity - you are playing Australia in their own back yard and Sri Lanka have some of the best players in the world.
"We are not here just to compete but to put our name out and win these games."
The two sides have met once before in an ODI with the Sri Lankans running out victors by 183 runs in Edinburgh in 2011 with Lasith Malinga taking five wickets.
Malinga has struggled for form and fitness in the tournament following a long injury spell, yet looked to be finding the return of his deadly yorker against Australia and may be peaking for the quarter-finals as Sri Lanka hoped.
