I hope the Lankan Selectors atleast look at this guy 29 sixes is no mean feat, Last time a sri Lankan did that i suppose was Indika De Saram playing for his school made 340 odd in 170 balls with 25 sixes he went onto have limted opportunites with Sri Lanka when someone like Mubarak gets a lifetime membership.

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?

Was the game at Droylsden ? If so, I have played there, admittedly not for a few years, but it is not what you would class a small ground. It's a decent hit straight, IIRC, and you obviously can't legislate for a wicket on the very edge of a square. However, 29 sixes, is still some effort even if you're playing in your back garden/yard!

Indika de Saram had limited opportunities for good reason - he was rubbish.

Mind, that Mubarak is likewise doesn't seem to have deterred them.

Exaclty i dont care if he was rubbish, Equal opportunity is something Sri Lankan selectors need to learn. Have you seen all his innings have you? (de Saram's)

Its incredibly slow for this form of the game !!!

I mean just imagine. 29 sixes and 18 fours. Thats 47 balls. This guy just managed 31 runs in the other 30 deliveries !! Thats terrible batting for someone sent to open to get some quick runs.

Disgusting

He was lazy to run 2's instead of singles you reckon.... or he was conserving his energy for the 6 hits.

I would love to get his entire 77 ball 'history'. Fascinating and yet almost obscene

Yurjav Sing can feel better about his bowling effort, 5 sixes? Least it wasn't 29...

Althou it looked like if yuvraj sent in another 24 deliveries... Maschranas was going to belt them all in the stands.

Yuvraj had made up his mind that he was going to keep pitching on a goodlength just outside the legstump for the rest of his life if thats how long it took for Dmitri to make a mistake or for Rahul to take him off.

I think you are right. Yuvraj's considerable lifetime thats left (lets pray) was not going to be enoughfor the firstto happen and as for Dravid.....God alone knows

Most of them, yes.

If he is rubbish he shouldn't be anywhere near the side, no debate about it.
