After the match I think the two batsmen got into their cars, kissed their wives and drove home.

How's that! 721 in 40 overs
Record breakers ... Shahbaz Tumbi and B. Manoj Kumar, who struck triple centuries each.

A 700-run win during a limited overs cricket match, and not one six - how's that?
Indian schoolboys Shahbaz Tumbi and B. Manoj Kumar have not just rewritten, but chewed up and spat out, the record books after scoring a mammoth 721 runs from 40 overs during an under-13s tournament on Wednesday.
If that wasn't enough, their team, St Peter's High School, went out and bowled the opposition, St Philips High School, for 21 runs, described as a "meagre total" on the Hyderabad Cricket Association website.
The openers' unheard-of run-rate of more than 18 an over was achieved, remarkably, without either hitting a six. Tumbi scored 324 not out from 116 balls, including 57 boundaries, while Kumar scored at a slightly slower pace, managing 320 not out off 127 balls, featuring 46 fours.
The 721-run total, during an inter-schools tournament at the Gymkhana Grounds in Secunderabad, eclipses the previous partnership record of 664, held by India's cricketing god Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli.
Three records were broken during their stand: highest total, highest stand and highest margin of victory - in any form of limited-overs cricket at any level.
The BBC reported that several television channels reported live as the pair received cash rewards and prizes by the school management and other well-wishers, while a media frenzy has now descended on the school.
"We went in to the field with only one thing in our minds. We will have to play all 40 overs, score big and make a name for our school," Shahbaz told the BBC.
"We only came to know of the scale of our achievement after we returned to the pavilion.
"Having broken the school record of Sachin Tendulkar, we also want to go up to his level of playing and one day play for India."
Manoj added: "We first thought of scoring a century, then a double century and finally the third one.
"When we were about 64 runs short of breaking the 1998 record, the coach told me about it and we scored it in six overs."

I was thinking the same thing when I first read the story. Giffo Jnr & Ian Jnr's side might have a chance against St Philips High School. You would have been a busy boy scoring for St Peter's High though
