Cricketers test tenacity in effort to bowl over record
10:33 AM January 26
A group of cricketers from Dubbo, in central western NSW, has played through the night in an attempt to break the current world record for the longest cricket marathon.
The record is currently held by a French club which played for more than 26 hours.
Dubbo organiser Adam Wonderley says the players are well on their way to setting a new record tonight.
"This is our fourth game, we've had two 50 over matches and one 20 over match, so it's two-one at the moment, so it's pretty even and we're still going and still having fun, so it's looking good," he said.
The match is also a fundraiser, with the money going to an Indian leprosy mission and the tsunami disaster.
