A blockbuster of an innings from Charles Coventry, the joint-highest individual score in ODIs, raised Zimbabwe’s chances of leveling the series against Bangladesh. Coventry was involved in two substantial partnerships, with Hamilton Masakadza and Stuart Matsikenyeri, on either side of a middle-order collapse to power Zimbabwe to their second consecutive 300-plus total.
It was a superbly paced innings from Coventry; he provided the impetus after the early dismissal of Mark Vermeulen, then tempered his aggression when the wickets tumbled around him in the middle overs, before finishing off with an awesome display of powerhitting. What made it even more astonishing was that the next highest score was 37, 157 less than Coventry.

Re: Coventry's record-breaking 194 propels Zimbabwe
Well played Coventry...
what was wrong with that umpire with the LBW... looked pretty plumb most of them...
That means Indians will break the record
Why? Is India about to give citizenship to Coventry?
Re: Coventry's record-breaking 194 propels Zimbabwe
*To all the idiots who think Coventry broke the record;
194 not out = 194 dismissed
That's grade 1 arithmetic!*

I dont know the technicalities but to me Coventry's innings deserve greater appreciation because he did it against a stronger bowling lineup
