depends on how long Dernbach's career goes on

Betting agency would give you handsome odds for that bet.

so what are you offering cob

 

[Hooksey]

For International 20/20 matches I think betting agencies would offer fairly generous odds on somebody bettering Finch's score in the foreseeable future. Most of the big individual 20/20 scores have been achieved at lesser levels.

Something about physique for different formats

So, essentially, fat sloggers hit the ball further but are more likely to be blowing out their arse after a long shift?

As if a bet of any meaning can be facilitated on an internet forum

i predict with a high degree of confidence you're a bonehead

T20 international isn't neccessarily the highest quality version of the game though. Like the soccer World Cup really.

Your mental disintegration has been amusing to witness

 

[Hooksey]

The 1st 20/20 international will be remembered as the match Aaron Finch tore the 20/20 record book up.

Hooksey, uvelocity, both of you cut it out.

I'm here to talk cricket mate, and unless I'm diverted from it by the sort of stuff that precedes this post that's what I'll be doing.

Did you remember what the record was before?

 

[Hooksey]

I knew McCallum had the record. That it was in the low 120s, and that Finch had absolutely blitzed it.

No Australian cricket fan in particular will forget Finch's record in a hurry.

I couldn't tell you who has the best bowling figures in 20/20 Internationals though.

 

[uvelocity]

how many did finch score, have no idea

 

[Hooksey]

In 1958 Garry Sobers raised the highest individual score in test cricket by a single run (less than 1% above the previous mark) and, although test matches provide the relative freedom of a 5 day duration, the record stood for over 45 years!

In 2013 Aaron Finch raised the highest individual score in 20/20 Internationals by 33 runs (nearly 27% higher than the previous mark) by scoring at just under 2.5 runs per ball!

Can't wait for Johnson Charles' game-changing 157 against Kenya.
