With the advent of high-tech Bowling balls and forgiving lane oil patterns, tens of thousands of perfect 300 games are bowled every year. While a good number of them are bowled by people who have already done so at least once, there are still several thousand first-time 300s bowled each year.
In fact, as of April 2010, 15 people have officially bowled a 900 series -- which is three 300 games back-to-back in the same league or tournament session. (The actual number of 900s bowled is over 20, but only 15 have been recognized by the USBC.)
Fun fact: in duckpin and candlepin bowling, two variations of the sport, no 300s have ever been rolled.
While the USBC (United States Bowling Congress) doesn't keep track of the number of 300s bowled back to back, we know that at least 15 people have been credited with a sanctioned 900 series since 1997 -- a feat that requires three 300s to be bowled back-to-back-to-back. (Make that 16 if you include Glenn Allison's not sanctioned, but widely recognized, 900 shot way back in 1982.)
As an informed guess, I'd say that these days several dozen back-to-back 300s are bowled each year; mostly by people who already have several solo 300s under their belt. Ironically, Tom Jordan's record-setting 1198 for four games, achieved in 1989, was NOT one of them: he went 300-299-300-299.
It depends on the organization tracking the information. USBC would have tracking of sanctioned 300 games bowling bowled during sanctioned league or tournament play. CTF would have for Canadian Tenpin Federation. TNBA would have for their association. Etc.

How many illegitimate balls in an over in a cricket match?
By illegitimate, I presume you refer to a no-ball or a wide. Under current rules an over contains 6 balls. Some years back, 8-ball overs were used in Australia if nowhere else. For an over to be complete, 6-balls not including a wide or no-ball must be bowled. If an illegitimate ball is bowled, it must be rebowled. The most illegitimate balls bowled in one over was an over bowled by Curtly Ambrose in his final test on Australian soil which contained 9 no-balls - a total of 15 balls.

If a pin stands back up after falling is it still a strike?
Assuming it is even possible for a pin to fall and then return upright, no, if the pin is still up when the ball is bowled it is not a strike.
Where is the bowling center?
Where the pins are placed is called "the deck". The area where they fall back into is called "the pit".
