I couldnt believe it when i read it. Avg first class record. I would love to know the size of ground and bowlers but wow. 29 sixes in 72 balls?

 

[andyc]

Holy ****.

I seem to recall a 430 off 180 balls sometime or other, which I think is even more extraordinary.

Can you imagine if this is replicated at the WC? 200 being reached in an international 20/20 before an ODI.

I'd be spewing!

What a knock!

Dhanuka Pathirana been talked up as a potential Sri Lanka A player for some time, but never seems to perform over a whole season. He has some good knocks and then struggles to get starts for the rest of the season. Differently a big talent just lacks the hard work, similar to Warupura a couple years back.

Unbelievable is the word to define this innings,does Red bull runs through his veins?

 

[Dubilog]

Just incredible! If we see something like this in the next couple of weeks, I'll do my neighbour!

lol, Afridi would come closest, IMO, to doing this at the international stage. And he has his favourite bullies, Indians, in his group. I fear the worst.

Never played as him before in Stick Cricket. Might have to give it a go.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Haha 29 6s, that's just silly.

He said '"Everything seemed to hit the middle"', ha you don't say.

 

[Chubby Rain]

Do free hits count as balls faced by batsmen ?

 

[stumpski]

The bowling figures must have been pretty ugly.

I'm sure free hits count as balls faced - as does the original no-ball (but not wides)

 

[open365]

Haha, stuff like this happens every year round my league but i've never heard of anything quite like this, i feel sorry for the oppo

 

[DCC_legend]

I wonder if he defended any balls?

 

[nightprowler10]

interesting to see that pakistan keep missing with thier bating order again and again..

good knock by afridi ... lets hope he continue his form and his good innings against bigger teams also.

 

[Matteh]

I seem to recall a 501* off 427 balls sometime or other, which I think is even more extraordinary.

 

[open365]
