Re: New Records in WC

Re: New Records in WC

Re: New Records in WC
These records are a joke and an insult to cricket. What next Australia meets France in a 50 over match and scores 1000 runs. Ridiculous.
Re: New Records in WC
I think the only consolation for Dutch is that the innings was reduced to 40 overs a side due to initial delay. SA scored at 16 RPO towards the end (3 successive sixes on last three balls), and could have well ended beyond 500 in this innings if they had 10 more overs to smack the hapless Dutch bowlers.
I hope someone in ICC is watching this game. Prestige of cricket and this World Cup has surely grown after this match. Next time lets invite 16 chotay paanday rather then just 8. More the merrier.
Re: New Records in WC
And why in god's name are these minnows electing to field after winning the toss.. its aa bel meri maar.
If you bat first and even get out cheaply, the other team only bats for a short time and the insult is not too much. Asking them to bat first is a horrible decision.

I believe Pakistan should be grateful they only have WI, Zim, and Ire in their group. A half decent batting team will make hay against Pakistan bowling attack :D
Re: New Records in WC
Final match should be between India v Neatherland :no:

I know what the original mahawara is. My edit makes it precisely what happened today.
Re: New Records in WC
i can bet you , soon we will have another record in this match ... highest margin loss in a WC match ... the previous record is held by Aussies of 256 against another minnow.

As you would expect our stats guru HR Gopalakrishna was chuffed up when the records were tumbling. Mentions few more now. Apparently, this was the first time in one-day history that that there were three three-figure partnerships.
Re: New Records in WC

No that record belongs to SL against Kenya, where they scored 398 in the 96 WC...
Re: New Records in WC
sorry my bad … its the highest score in WC for SA.
Here are the official records as listed by cricinfo
Herschelle Gibbs made history by becoming the first batsman to hit six sixes in one-day internationals. The earlier record for most number of runs in an over was 30, which Sanath Jayasuriya managed twice, against Aamer Sohail (in Singapore in 1995-96) and Chris Harris (at Sharjah in 2000-01). Dan van Bunge’s innocuous stuff meant that the bar has been upped significantly. (Click here for a list of most runs in an over.)
Gibbs’s seven sixes in the innings was only one less than the World Cup record for a single innings - Ricky Ponting had slammed eight in that memorable 140 not out in the World Cup final in 2003.
Gibbs was at his violent best, but by no means was he the only one to wreck havoc. Mark Boucher slammed 75 from 31 balls, and on the way notched up the fastest half-century in World Cups: he got to the mark off 21 balls, bettering Brian Lara’s 23-ball effort against Canada at Centurion in 2003. (Click here for the fastest 100s and 50s in ODIs.) Boucher’s half-century was also the first by a South African wicketkeeper in World Cups.
South Africa’s total of 353 for 3 is their highest World Cup score and the best total in a 40-over match, while it was also the fifth-highest by any team in all editions of the tournament. Their run-rate of 8.82 is the fourth-best in a World Cup innings, but the highest by a team batting first.
The 18 sixes that South Africa slammed in the innings is an ODI record too, going past the earlier record of 16, which had been achieved twice: New Zealand got that many against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo, while New Zealand were themselves at the receiving end against the Australians in the Chappell-Hadlee Series match at Hamilton earlier this year.
This was also the first time there were three century stands in a single innings of a one-day international. After AB de Villiers’s second-ball dismissal, Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis added 114 for the second wicket, Kallis and Herschelle Gibbs put together 105 for the third, while Kallis and Boucher added 134 for the fourth.
South Africa’s 221-run victory is now the third-largest victory margin in World Cups. In fact in the last three days, there have been three games which have been won by a margin of more than 200 runs.

Re: New Records in WC
When did Holland start playing Cricket?
And Cricket is only popular in English speaking countries so Holland is an oddity
Can anyone explain?
Re: New Records in WC
still 6 six in an over is something...........I can bet Afridi will be the next one to try this.
Re: New Records in WC
6 SIXES of Gibbs

"the Netherlands Cricket Association has been in existence since 1883, when there were already 18 clubs.
In the 1880s it is estimated there were as many as 100 clubs and in 1892 the first Dutch side toured England…In 1964 the Australians visited during their tour of England and lost to the Dutch side by three wickets." - Link
Only English speaking countries
