What's the story?
On October 14, West Augusta B-grade batsman Josh Dunstan smashed a triple century inside 27 overs in a 35-over-a-side match against Central Stirling. During the course of the innings, Dunstan hit 40 sixes as he accounted for a whopping 86.72 percent of his team’s total of 354.
By doing so, he eclipsed Sir Viv Richard’s world record of having scored the highest percentage of runs in a completed innings.
Speaking after the match, the 32-year-old Dunstan told news.com.au, “It hasn’t sunk in yet — I’m actually in shock still. I’d had a few quiet beers with my mates the night before, so I wasn’t thinking about too much when I got out there other than hit the ball and try not to get out.
“I got to 100 and the boys were cheering me on. It felt like a few overs later I was on 200 and then I went on with it. I was pretty happy with that,” he said.
