Prithvi Shaw hits 244 off 153 balls for Northamptonshire in One-Day Cup

[Austin 3:!6]

India batter Shaw, who once scored 546 in a single innings as a 14-year-old and made a debut Test century when he was only 18, was signed by Northants to bring - as head coach John Sadler put it - a "bit of superstardom" to the club.

Having made 34 and 26 in his first two innings for the club, the 23-year-old brought up his 50 off 44 balls against Somerset with a square cut for four off Danny Lamb.

The right-hander, who shared a stand of 108 for the second wicket with Ricardo Vasconcelos (47), went to his century from 81 balls.

When he reached 162 he passed the previous 50-over best for Northamptonshire by former captain David Sales in 2006 and cruised past the county's limited-overs record score of 172 not out by Wayne Larkins, made in a 40-over match in 1983.

Whiteman played on to Lamb with the score on 369 and Shaw eventually departed three balls from the end of the innings, caught at deep mid-wicket off the same bowler, as five more wickets went down for eight runs.

It was Shaw's second double century in 50-over cricket having made 227 not out for Mumbai in February 2021.

Derbyshire are at home to Sussex and Lancashire are playing holders Kent at Blackpool in Wednesday's other games.

He is only 23...so lots of time

[Lord]

Good innings but looks like a 40 yr old here

 

[rageaddict]

Only 23 years old ? Lol . Looks like a  veteran already. 

[NameGoesHere]

I’m willing to guess that the opposition attack is bog average. 
 

I looked at the scorecard here  and it seems to me that the bowlers are mostly youngsters/ newcomers with between 2-20 FC games each, there’s one guy who’s 39 years old, and one 24 year old  international who played 4 Tests for Ireland. 
 

So I’m not overly over the moon, so to speak.

No one is over the moon and should not be as its against poor attack. But still 244 runs in a 50 over game is commendable.

Damn.  
 

Yeah if this is what he looks like now and keeps looking like that, he won’t play for India again. 
 

Shaw is Kambli, redux.

[Nikhil_cric]

He doesn't look old. Not blessed with genetics for hair but apart from that how does he look old ?

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

I don't know who these bowlers are. May be main players are taking part in 100s and they send some second string players?

Kambli was much better & had so much better stats around his age!

[vvvslaxman]

Actually the laidback  atmosphere, coverage, commentary, location is quiet nice in contrast with our domestic coverage.  First of all generally the stadium is empty. Then this commentary of Hindi and English at the same time. One commie would speak in Hindi. Other one would respond in English.   

[vvvslaxman]

Commies say this is not a road. Bit of seam mvoement. bit of up and down pitch.
