Afridis fastest ODI hundred record beaten by Corey Anderson on an oval no bigger than my backyard.

Lol 3/275 off 20 overs, on track for 600

Oh it's a 21 over match!

What a disgraceful venue for an international. These scores should be wiped from the records.

Must be the camera angles then, it looks tiny.
Didnt see the AO last night so cant comment on its size

Regardless of ground size, hitting a ton off 36 balls in 36 minutes is one hell of an achievement.

For what it's worth, I think Queenstown Events Centre looks beautiful, with all the mountains in background.

But you can call a venue a disgrace and demand records wiped despite knowing anything about the venue.

Only going on what I saw and its looks like the smallest venue ive ever seen

Looked small and the boundary was even brought in a little bit.

Farce my arse. The Ground looked as tho it was a fair size to me. Think the NZ batsmen made it look small by their enormous hits. The Windies bowling was cannon fodder. Would've thought whoever their coach is would be looking for another job tomorrow. Totally unacceptable performance. All the same, it was an incredible batting performance and for same one to say the size of the ground was the key factor in the MASSIVE score is the real farce.

Don't know what game you were watching jackpot jim, if you were indeed watching the correct game you better go and see these guys www.specsavers.com.au

The boundaries were a disgrace.

Maybe all cricket records at Adelaide oval prior to the redevelopment should be wiped, seeing as though they were almost the smallest square boundaries in first class cricket.

Can we keep the facts out of this discussion please - for interests sake.

One match was for a 20/20 teeball match the other was an international.

There was no way it was bigger than Adelaide Oval when it has legitimate boundaries.

Facts

AO 62m square 84m straight

QO 65m square 75m straight



WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, SQUIDS CORRECT AGAIN


THAT'S A FACT!

How Squids? You just posted that Adelaide Oval is shorter on the square.

Oh, and until you put a link with your sauce, it means nothing.

Anyway, here is the innings for those who want a look. Anderson certainly makes the ground look small with how well he hit them.

Here you go Squidly. All above board.

Where have I mentioned anything about complaining about the square boundaries? NO WHERE that is where.

Adelaide Oval playing dimensions are readily available on cricinfo and even wikipedia if you are desperate.....http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/c ... 56293.html

QO were posted by some random on a pakistani cricket forum...pakpassion or some crap, I can't find the damn post.
