Surrey, Alistair Brown set world records

Mohandas Menon

English county team Surrey's total of 438-5 in 50 overs against Glamorgan in the fourth round match for the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy was the highest ever made in a limited-over match anywhere in the world.

Listed below are some of the highest team totals achieved in limited-over matches.

438-5 (50 overs) Surrey v Glamorgan The Oval 2002 (C&G Trophy)
429-10 (49.5 overs) Glamorgan v Surrey The Oval 2002 (C&G Trophy)
409-6 (50 overs) Trinidad v N Winward Islands Kingston 2001-02 (Red Stripe Bowl)
406-5 (60 overs) Leicestershire v Berkshire Leicester 1996 (NatWest Trophy)
404-3 (60 overs) Worcestershire v Devon Worcester 1987 (NatWest Trophy)
398-5 (50 overs) Sri Lanka v Kenya Kandy 1995-96 (World Cup)
397-4 (50 overs) New South Wales v Tasmania Sydney 2001-02 (MM Cup)
392-6 (50 overs) India Sr v India B Chennai 2000-01 (Challenger Trophy)
392-5 (60 overs) Warwickshire v Oxfordshire Birmingham 1984 (NatWest Trophy)

Meanwhile, the match run aggregate of 867 runs for 15 wickets in 99.5 overs in the above match was also a world record. It bettered the previous best of 754 runs for 16 wickets in the Challenger Trophy match between India (392-6) and India B (362) at Chennai in 2000-01.

Alistair Brown During the match, Surrey's Alistair Brown also set a new record for the maximum runs scored by an individual batsman in a limited overs game. His 268 was, by far, the highest, bettering the previous best of 222 (unbeaten) by former South African left-hander Graeme Pollock for Eastern Province way back in 1974-75.

Incidentally, it was Brown's second double hundred in a limited overs game, making him the first batsman in history to do so on two separate occasions.

List below are all the individual double centuries in limited over games.

268 Alistair Brown Surrey v Glamorgan The Oval 2002 (C&G Trophy)
222* Graeme Pollock Eeatern Province v Border East London 1974-75 (Gillette Cup)
206 Alvin Kallicharran Warwickshire v Oxfordshire Birmingham 1984 (NatWest Trophy)
203 Alistair Brown Surrey v Hampshire Guildford 1997 (Sunday League)
202* Alan Barrow Natal v S African XI Durban 1975-76 (Gillette Cup)
201 Vince Wells Leicestershire v Berkshire Leicester 1996 (NatWest Trophy)

Among these world records, Glamorgan's pace bowler Darren Thomas, also got into the record books for a dubious feat -- he conceded 108 runs in his nine overs, which was the mazximum conceded by any bowler in a limited overs match.

Cornwall's Chris Lovell, against Warwickshire at St. Austell in 1996, had conceded 107 runs in 12 overs in a NatWest Trophy match. Bowlers conceding over 105 runs in a limited overs match are listed below.

9-0-108-3 SD Thomas Surrey v Glamorgan The Oval 2002
12-0-107-2 CC Lovell Cornwall v Warwickshire St Austell 1996
12-0-106-2 DA Gallop Oxfordshire v Warwickshire Birmingham 1984
12-0-105-1 SR Porter Oxfordshire v Warwickshire Birmingham 1984
12-1-105-2 MC Snedden New Zealand v England The Oval 1983
