The previous high score for a team batting at Gwalior was 289 (by Pak, vs SL in 1997).matt.o said:Geez! I saw he was 124 n.o after 33 overs and though SA might be in a bit of trouble! Mind you, I'm not sure 200 on the small, lightning fast Indian outfields would be 200 anywhere else.
hamster143 said:That basically means that someone named Tendulkar rode 200 miles non stop in a bicycle race. Not an easy task. Most humans only have enough energy stored in their muscles and liver to survive 50 to 75 miles. Beyond that, you have to rely on supplemental energy, maybe by eating an energy bar every 15 minutes.

Agreed! Those are better ways to look at the stats.matt.o said:That's not a particularly good statistic to test my hypothesis, especially given the low number of games played at Gwalior. Perhaps a better way to look at this is by comparing the batting averages on a ground-by-ground basis for grounds where there have been > 10 ODIs:
http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;filter=advanced;orderby=team_average;qualmin1=10;qualval1=matches;template=results;type=aggregate;view=ground"
or given Tendulkar brought up his 200 in the last over, perhaps we should look at the above, but sorted by average run-rate:

Given the above, I will stand by my statement! (which included "In any case, it's a mean feat, so well done to the Little Master!")
Few would disagree with that. And speaking of Bradman ... http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/96323.htmlYes, but this would have to be a polytheist religion which included the great Sir Donald Bradman!

In English, please?Doug Huffman said:In re cycling 'double century', 200 km or 120 miles is the shortest of the brevets to qualify for Paris-Brest-Paris or Boston-Montreal-Boston, 1200 km in 90 hours. Brevet, Audax or Randonee.
