Highest score in a 1 on 1 game?

87...was pasting the ball to all parts. I went for the roof shot (over the roof and onto the street) didnt make it. It hit the roof and bounced into the neigbours garden thus ending argubly the greatest garden innings ever played! :D

In a 1 on 1 game, I just scored 1,342 against someone up the road. Not sure of the exact score, easy to lose count in such a long innings, but it is roughly that.

How old were they?
How many functioning limbs did they have?
How long were the boundaries?

International Coach
The one person was 14.
All their limbs were functioning.
Boundaries of roughly 30m.

I'm sorry, you'll have to correct the grammar because that makes no sense.

410* in under 2 hours. It was a family match, me and my brother verse the rest of the family(bout 10) on Christmas. I didn't even know what i scored, till i found out after that my mum(who wasnt playing) decided to score instead.

my highest score in backyard cricket is 423 against my brother, and my highest in proper cricket is 116*

I was already captain of the college team and played with first class and even some international cricketers, so at home the nephews and nieces (as well as sisters) were always looking to beat me at backyard cricket.. Mostly it was me against everyone else. invariably I won and I made them bat first so that the match ended as soon as I overtook their score.

Once they beat me and they made a big song and dance about it. Shouting and celeberating and making fun of the 'future cricket star " :p

I was furious and decided to teach them a lesson. We played another game and I decided to bat first and went on and on and on. At copletion of a hundred and then 200 they kept pleading with me to declare. But I went on until at 500 they decided to cry off and the game was called off for all time to come :) But they never stopped teasing me about it for years afterwards.

At home my brother and i play a 5 over game where i made 110* then he came in and went out for a duck! :D

highest score would be though 633* but had to declare as my brother just went off because he couldn't hack it

but this is with one hand one bounce, tipity, bat down, auto keeper, 3 misses and your out and no boundries

With the help from some unbelivable rules. (e.g. 50 for hitting the mirror, 100 through the dog flap, etc) me and my brother played cricket on our knees in the lounge, until i reached 800 or so not out and then he cried with frustration.
