Sir john Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 :hmmm: Valthaty’s 63-ball knock contained 19 boundaries and two sixes. That seemed like a daunting score. But that was before Paul Valthaty got into the act and played that gem of a knock. Unsurprisingly, Valthaty was adjudged man-of-the-match for his brilliant unbeaten hundred.
lonestarranger Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 unimpossible wait, what? B-> in b4 grammar nazis.
NareshK Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 i think unimpossible Not to take anything away from Valthaty's innings but the Mohali ground looks like someone's backyard. If they have grounds like that everywhere, any record can be broken. I'm sure Watson would have scored 185 in a similar ground in BD.

lonestarranger Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Mohali is one of the biggest ground in India after DY Patil and Jamtha How good is that if the boundary ropes are pulled in, like they do in IPL?

Prakat Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Great knock. But considering it's the IPL, I wouldn't be surprised if the record was broken.
rkt.india Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 How good is that if the boundary ropes are pulled in' date=' like they do in IPL?[/quote'] it is not the case this time. I do not think so it happened in previous IPLs too. Its just a myth. How far you can bring boundaries back when grounds are not big in itself. Today, straight boundary in DY Patil was 70-75 meter which is as big as any you can get anywhere except some Ozzie grounds which are bigger. Even in World Cup boundaries were as short as 58 meters, so what can you say. Durban had 56 meter shortest boundary in world T20 in 2007.
Sir john Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 @prvinkataria batsman believe in hitting sixes more than fours so i guess this record is unbreakable.
abhinav Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Till Sir Jadeja does not want to own that record.
vvvslaxman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Watson is in town.. nothing is impossible in IPL from here on.
punjabi_khota Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Bradman would have scored 21 fours if he was playing in this era.
Serani Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Adrian Barath hit 19 fours in his debut 100 against Oz on a proper ground and in a test match. And who the fuark is Paul
Ram Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 19 fours is nearly a boundary hit an ever, just for a SINGLE batsmen. An entire team would do well to hit so many fours in a T20 innings! This stat alone sort of characterizes perfectly, the sheer improbability of his innings. He was trying one shot after another, all around the field and ALL of them were coming off!
punjabi_khota Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 ^ It also characterizes even more perfectly, what a piece of donkey crap CSK bowling was last night :kxip:
