What exactly is that record IZ?

Chandles, heaps of relevant records listed just 4 or 5 posts above your last.

1 over to go to lunch.

I'd reckon 9 balls from now, and they're at 568.

Let Billy Bowden have a bowl!

Let a piano fall on Billy Bowden's head.

So that should be lunch, with the partnership at 570* and the Lankans at 584/2.

5 runs to go

4

haha the record through byes!!

3 to go now, doing it in singles...

thank god its not against us now. a much more admirable partnership as well, at a very good rate and almost definitely in a win

zat you a bit late. the partnership was broken 2 minutes back

Mate, I'm relying on cricinfo.

Is it true it was four byes that brought it up?

lara must be getting a bit uneasy now. he might have to call the windies to resurrect the arg

Amazing effort.

yup 4 byes down the legside from boje

so if they both are beyond sanath's score (maybe lara's) as well, when will they declare? with jaya holding the record or sanga? jaya of course being the captain has the upper hand

If they get there, what odds on a staged declaration with them both on the same score of 401+?

Anyways, gotta go, a black-tie Bledisloe Cup dinner awaits, with some 30 and 40 year old ports on the agenda for after dinner.

Congrats to the Lankans on a remarkable effort though.

The partnership's also the highest in FC cricket too.

And other possible records are listed on page one of this thread, about posts 21.

Crabs.

FFS will one of you two get out so i can hit the M25.

Are you watching it tv Ade Al ?

No, PB, but i was meant to have been shopping an hour ago!

And that's it...

624 runs, 157.0 overs, rr: 3.97 (DPMD Jayawardene 309, Sangakkara 285)

KC Sangakkara c Boucher b Hall 287 (457b 35x4 0x6) sr: 62.80

bad luck Kumar. Still, partnership yielded 624 runs!!!
