Oh, cricket. You might have mentioned that before I clicked on the link. I thought it was cycling, or something I cared about.

Century was supposed to be the clue.

Century was supposed to be the clue.

A hundred mile bike ride is also a “century”.

Pretty awesome, I hadn’t realised how long Afridi’s record had stood. Here’s Afridi’sreaction:

“I never heard his name and early morning my nephew told me about his feat and I sort of said the first news of 2014 is of my record being broken,” Afridi told AFP. “But I must say it’s a great achievement and Anderson deserves all the praise. It needs a super effort to score a hundred off 36 balls.”

Any bets on how much Anderson will get from the IPL?

Some of the grounds in NZ are pretty small - that Nathan Astle 200 that is the quickest in Tests was played on something with similarly short boundaries, in Christchurch if memory serves. Am at work, so can’t check the video; was this played on a postage stamp or are the boundaries actually reasonable lengths?
