Dear All

I was reading on teletext that SA's batsman (Krestin) has
broken Brain Lara's record of scoring 1349 runs in ODI
in ONE year (1993).

That brings me to think that since Brain Lara brike two
world records in 1993, (scoring 375 in a test match,
and the scoring 501 in a first calss match), many world
records are created since then.

In every tournament few new records are being made:

-  fastest 50, and 100 by Sri Lankan ( fastest 100 again
   broken, by a Pakistani)

-  Highest ODI total (in Singapore), and then again
   broken in Kenty recently.

-  Youngst ODI century maker. (Afridi)

-  Highest no. if Sixes (11 by two batsmen now!)

-  Waseem's 257* (No. 8 batsman) with higest no. of
   Sixes  (12).

-  Highest 8th. wicket partnership.

-  Sri Lanka winning (I think 13) consective ODI matches.

-  Pakistan winning a 3-match test series after going
   down 1-0, twice in a year!! (or some thing like that!!)

And many more records which I do not remember from top of
my head.

Thus I am very safe to say that another record MUST have been
established as under:

"Highest no. of records established in the year 1996".

   for WIFE too!!

it was in the World Cup 96 and not in  Singapore or Kenya.
Sri Lanka scored 397 vs. Kenya in one of the WC matches.

And now Hasan Raza of Pakistan is the youngest ever test cricketer. He is
14+. Needless to say that he is playing against Zimbabwe.

: I was reading on teletext that SA's batsman (Krestin) has
: broken Brain Lara's record of scoring 1349 runs in ODI
: in ONE year (1993).

        Even though Gary has already borken Lara's record, probably we
will see the lead for the highest number of runs changing hands a few
times.

        Tendulkar has 1340 runs for this year and it will be a race between
Gary and Tendulkar right to the wire. I, however, consider Saeed Anwar to be
the favourite to win the "batting title" as he has almost ten more onedays
to play and is currently around 1070 (approx) - an average of 40 or so
should suffice (unless Gary or Tendulkar having 2 or 3 centuries :-)).

    checked the exact numbers and could be off, but not by much.
