Cricketer smashes 350 runs in One-Day game─── 08:33 Mon, 20 Apr 2015
Twenty-one year old Lancashire club cricketer, Liam Livingstone has scored what is believed to be a world record 350 runs in a one-day match in England yesterday.
Playing for Nantwitch Town against Caldy in an ECB National Club Championship match at Whitehouse Lane, the all-rounder smashed an astonishing 34 fours and 27 sixes from 137 balls to post the triple century.
298 of Livingstones’ runs came through boundaries.
The unbelievable knock is said to have surpassed the previous record of 334 not out by Nikhilesh Suren-dran in Hyderabad in 2008.
The carnage ended when he was caught for 350 with Nantwich eventually completing their innings on 579 for seven from their allotted 45 overs. The next highest score in the innings saw Ryan Brown score 66, while Ben Johnson (not the former Olympic sprinter) add 56 to the score.
To add salt to Caldy’s wounds…Nantwich restricted their opponents to 79 for 9 for a 500 run win.
