DomainK Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 How does this have any relevance to your earlier point that "This shows that Cricket in Zimbabwe is improving."? I was saying it may be an indication that it indeed is improving. When someone achieves something from a minnow team, its not always undeserving. May be they are getting better than they are. Andy Flower was a much better batsman than his stats suggested. Link to comment
undisputed Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The record is not broken, yes he is on top on cricinfo's list but the record is shared, well if someone asked you who is the leading scorer in odi's ? you would hafto mention both names because they got the same score. and even though zimbabwe and bangladesh have odi status but it was more of a park game to be honest because both are minnows.

ShermanAve Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Meaningless record in a game with two crap teams, really. It's always a shame when prestigious records fall in games against minnows like when Sri Lanka beat the ODI innings record against Netherlands.Anyway I just hope that the first double hundred is achieved in a proper game and by an ODI player of the stature of Anwar or Viv.

Ram Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Must have been a remarkable innings. It has only 16 4's and 7 sixes, which totals to 106 runs, which he ran 88 of the remaining runs, apart from those times when he ran as a non-striker too. Sure, the bowling isnt of the highest quality, but still its no mean feat to score such an astonishing amount of runs in a 50 over match. Link to comment
