Younis Khan in his first match as Pakistani captain has just bought up his triple century. Now he’s going after Lara’s record, and considering the Lankans have already bowled 200 overs they could be getting tired.
What really impressed me about this innings is the way he went ballistic after bringing up his triple with a reverse sweep off the mother-chucker. Considering he’d faced 510 balls for his 300 you’d be forgiven for thinking he had his eye in, however from this position of apparent strength Younis ‘the excitement machine’ Khan pushed on to score a further 4 runs off the 35 balls he faced before stumps at the stratospheric strike rate of 11.42.
This against Medis and Murali who’d each bowled in excess of 50 overs, good to see he’s keeping the game interesting. Now we just need for Lara to come back against England and regain his record….
