I want those 2 minutes of my life back.

If you are saying that you wasted two minutes on this thread then you can't complain because you were warned in the title of the thread. Weren't you?

I was kidding . Some of these stats are actually quite interesting. Carry on mate.

I saw that live (on TV) and recorded it. I had that on the tape for the longest time. I may still have that if I have not recorded over it but I have to dig from 100s of tapes. I'll let you know.

Evolution of highest individual score in ODIs

Here is the evolution of the highest individual score in Limited-overs Internationals. The first column gives the number of matches (ODIs) between successive achievements.

  89  200* SR Tendulkar  Ind v SAf  Gwalior         Feb 24, 2010

Amiss and Turner scored their runs on the same day. Both their sides batted first and both opened the innings. Amiss faced 147 balls and Turner 201. It seems likely that Amiss held the record for a couple of hours.

almost twice the matches of wot it took to go past Viv's 189. Dont want to take any credit away but we were expecting this record to be broken by few years now, but never thought Sachin would break it.

also notice this..
