Matthew Hayden.....380.

The best advertisement Gray Nicolls could have for their
Gladius bat. Guy at the local cricket shop expects to sell
a dozen of them this week!!!

Haydos has come a long way since those days when the
"Give Matt a Bat" signs ringed the Gabba.

And it did make the news in the USA (on ESPN's Sportscenter), just like Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds made the news here
when they broke the single season home run records.

If you ask me, Mark MuGuire's record is far more worthy (against his equal's/peers in the world) than Hayden's score against 3 rd rate opposition.
If he scored the runs against South Africa, or even Pakistan or England it would be worthy, but against an rabble of Zimbabwe.
Great knock, but not one of the all time great sporting feats.

That's standard and fair enough, since people in Perth had the option of going to the ground and seeing it for themselves.

I went on Thursday, so at least I saw the first 183 runs of his innings. My brother went on Friday, so between us we can say "We were there!"

lol - but they couldve shown it delayed by an hour or sumthing or show the record being broke on tv half n hour b4 the coverage was schedueld 2 start

of all days, i chose day 3 to go 2 - less than 2 hours of true entertainment
