Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Remarkable Cricket runfest - aged 13

by SixandOut on November 16th, 2006

Now here’s something a little different. A new world cricketing record was set, well in fact 3 records were set, highest total, highest stand and highest winning margin by 2 Indian youngsters, eclipsing records previoulsy held by Sachin Tendulkar. The two boys, merely 13 and 12 years of old scored 644 runs between them, which combined with 77 extras, in 40 overs, securing the new records. That’s a remarkable run rate of 3 PER BALL.

The opposition, faced with a winning target of 722, weren’t to be outdone, except that they were - they were all out for 21, exactly 700 runs short.

Kids, eh? Full story here.
