Who will the first to break Anwar's 194?

[duffer]

Almost no one mentioned Tendulkar except some bloke who thought he may do it against a minnow and someone else almost as an afterthough.

Sachin forgives us. He forgives us all.

No one wanted to jinx!

I'll be honest, I always thought it would be one of the saddest moments for me if someone broke Anwar's record in my lifetime. But I was wrong. I was very, very happy to see the CI headline just 5 minutes ago. Nobody deserves it more than Sachin. Kudos to him. What a champ.

 

[Faisal1985]

Tendulkar deserved it...

 

[Dissector]

Tbh the correct answer was Charles Coventry. 194* > 194.

Anyway I am glad that like with the test record, the highest score is now in a game against a proper team. Hope it stays that way though I have a feeling someone will break it against a minnow in the WC.

 

[Richard]

People've been having that feeling for the last couple of World Cups.

 

[Cruxdude]

I really don't believe that the record will stand fro a very very long time. It seems like the 400 run barrier. No one came near it and once Australia broke through we keep seeing such scores every few months. But I really do hope that he holds on to it.

True and I for one was strongly expecting some opener to hit a double against a minnow in the last WC. However it's likely to happen sooner or later. I think the IPL and TTI's are further improving the hitting skills of the best batsmen whereas I doubt the quality of the minnow attacks is getting better.

It's only the 3rd individual innings above 190 in ODIs and only the 10th double century in all List A cricket. Only 2 of those 10 innings are above 210.

Scoring 200 runs in a List A match is no mean feat.

Think SL scored it first don't remember the team ....(Kenya 96 ????)

Off the top of my head, Srilanka amassed 398 and Australia's 434 was the first to go past the 400 barrier. 2 times in one match at that though.

 

[Cruxdude]

Yeah Srilanka missed it by two runs. I remember walking up to the common room to see the historic occasion of a team scoring 400 runs only to have it done again in a few hours.

 

[Sanz]

Anwar's 194 was the most hated record for me. Clearly the worst day for me as a Cricket fan, I will never forget that day(despite that the record has been broken) and happy that It was broken by Sachin.

I believe New Zealand came very close to 400, either getting 398 or 399, and Lou Vincent scored 172 v Zimbabwe.

Why is that?

I went to that match. Saw it live.

It was against India resulting in an Indian loss..

For some reason I've always though Anwar's effort came in Sharjah.

 

[Craig]

Ok, is this going to be like Tests, if a player breaks the record at the next WC against a minnow team, will people consider SRT to still hold the record, in the way that some people still counted Lara as the record holder when Hayden scored 380 v Zimbabwe?
