What a disgraceful venue for an international. These scores should be wiped from the records.

Regardless of ground size, hitting a ton off 36 balls in 36 minutes is one hell of an achievement.

For what it's worth, I think Queenstown Events Centre looks beautiful, with all the mountains in background.

But you can call a venue a disgrace and demand records wiped despite knowing anything about the venue.

Farce my arse. The Ground looked as tho it was a fair size to me. Think the NZ batsmen made it look small by their enormous hits. The Windies bowling was cannon fodder. Would've thought whoever their coach is would be looking for another job tomorrow. Totally unacceptable performance. All the same, it was an incredible batting performance and for same one to say the size of the ground was the key factor in the MASSIVE score is the real farce.

Maybe all cricket records at Adelaide oval prior to the redevelopment should be wiped, seeing as though they were almost the smallest square boundaries in first class cricket.

One match was for a 20/20 teeball match the other was an international.

There was no way it was bigger than Adelaide Oval when it has legitimate boundaries.

How Squids? You just posted that Adelaide Oval is shorter on the square.

Oh, and until you put a link with your sauce, it means nothing.

Anyway, here is the innings for those who want a look. Anderson certainly makes the ground look small with how well he hit them.

Where have I mentioned anything about complaining about the square boundaries? NO WHERE that is where.

Adelaide Oval playing dimensions are readily available on cricinfo and even wikipedia if you are desperate.....http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/c ... 56293.html

QO were posted by some random on a pakistani cricket forum...pakpassion or some crap, I can't find the damn post.
