SA Cricketer a chance to break Lara's world record

Postby the joker » Wed Feb 25, 2009 3:40 pm

not really South Australian but Younis Khan is a contracted saca player at the moment.
He is currently on 309* just 91 short of the magical 400 mark made by Lara Vs the Poms.

Is the Pitch made of cement. after 4 days there has only been 12 wickets and 1224 runs at a whopping average of over 100 per wicket.
and the Lankans are on their third new ball
I love vegatarian food. It goes great with steak.

Hard enough to get to 300 let alone 400. No matter how friendly the batting conditions Younis' knock was a great effort. Just makes you realise what an extraordinary player Lara was to get a 375 and a 400* in Test cricket as well as a 501* in first class cricket. He was a batting genius.

Lara is the best batsman I've seen since Barry Richards.

Just on Younis Khan making 313, it should serve as a message to some Redbacks batsmen how close to elite company they actually are in terms of ability. The only thing missing is application.

Fantastic innings. It might be a road but you don't see the other blokes knock up a triple ton. He is someone we must keep even if he can't play every match. If not for his performances on the pitch but the lessons he can teach, plus I just love the enthusiasm he shows when donning the red cap. He just loves cricket.
