Hope someone uploads it on You Tube. SR over 300 for 90 runs is an amazing feat. Even better than what ABD has played in IPL. Only Gayle's innings of 175 versus Pune is better than this knock in T20 cricket imo.
Test FL's - 8 , ODI and Tests Combo FL's - 1, ODI World Cup - 1, ODI FL's - 7, ODI and T20i combo FL's - 1 ,

of course

although it was Durham bowling at him, and a second string one at that, so that diminishes the achievement somewhat

and the boundaries at TB are usually set at thick edge for six territory, so that diminishes it further

and after one second string bowler was removed by the umpires and the next broke his hand after 5 balls, it was mostly batsmen bowling at him which diminishes it even further

so all in all...... COTD is probably heading U19's way

Waiting for the final CPL game....

The countdown to this is reminiscent of the BBC counting down to Bolt's face tonight.

I've changed my mind actually.....these 8 o'clock start CPL games finish too late for me so will role them over to the next day. Seems they take their time with T20 over there.

So......yeah.....Hales.
