1975 ~ 2016: Rise of ODI totals - ketchim - 09-01-2016
The journey from 334 to 444 in 41 years !
England 334 for 4 (60 overs) v India, Lord's, 1975
The first day of the first World Cup - Dennis Amiss made 137 and England's innings
was rounded off by Chris Old 30-ball 51.
The final total of 334 was a big leap on the previous best of 266.

Pakistan 338 for 5 (60 overs) v Sri Lanka, Swansea, 1983
Two World Cups later, the record was broken as Pakistan enjoyed the Welsh air
against a Sri Lanka side still young in their full international days. After Mohsin Khan
and Zaheer Abbas - with 82 apiece - had laid the platform, the acceleration came
from Javed Miandad (72 off 52) and Imran Khan (56 off 33)
with what Wisden termed a "violent assault"...............

In every decade since the 1970s, teams have set new records for ODI totals,

He will NOT be allowed to Bowl IF he does that again ! >
