Three hundred 300s in ODIs

India's successful run-chase, overhauling Sri Lanka's 308, was the 300th instance of a team scoring 300 or more in one-day internationals. Here are some quick numbers on 300s

The first score in excess of 300 was England's 334 against India in the first match of the 1975 World Cup. It was a 60-over game. England, however, have gone past 300 only 21 times so far.

Australia have scored more than 300 the most times - 53 - and they've won 48 of those games. Pakistan and India have scored 300 or more in 49 and 47 matches respectively.

The National Stadium in Karachi, the venue of the 300th three-hundred, has also had the most innings of above 300 - 18 in 42 ODIs.

Teams have scored 300 or more in 51 innings in India which is the most in any country. There have been 35 in Pakistan, 33 in Australia, and 31 each in England and South Africa.

India have scored 300 on 12 occasions while batting second , the most by any country.

The year 2007 had the most scores in excess of 300 - 51 innings. There were 27 in 2005 while 2006 had 24.

The 2008 Asia Cup has already had 10 scores of above 300 which is the second highest for any tournament. The highest is the 2007 World Cup when teams reached 300 sixteen times.

Second half of that match was even funnier. Gavaskar got an edge to the keeper early but was ruled not out. He didn't walk, yet the same Indian fans who persecute Symonds for doing something similar generally hail Sunny as some sort of paragon of cricketing virtue... Gavaskar then went on to crab his way through the innings as though playing for a draw.

good albeit soporific times

Ah but only SA i think has 2 400's

I think Sri Lanka's done it twice?

Meh, 400 stopped being a major achievement once NZ did it.

Will have to look

Sri Lanka 443/9 50.0 8.86 1 v Netherlands
South Africa 438/9 49.5 8.78 2 v Australia
Australia 434/4 50.0 8.68 1 v South Africa
South Africa 418/5 50.0 8.36 1 v Zimbabwe
India 413/5 50.0 8.26 1 v Bermuda
New Zealand 402/2 50.0 8.04 1 v Ireland


SA is the only with 2.

But check out the opposition in most of them

Since Australia's attack included Mick Lewis, does that mean that Australia is the only team to do it against a 'proper' side?

Jeez! You could have kept this records in the Meticulous thread I started for such records and could have avoided flooding the forum with various threads requiring more follow up. I hope you won a lifetime achievement award by started yet another thread on more tedious records that could have been kept at one place for people to look up. I can't understand this obsession some people feel to start new threads all the time to discuss the same crap.....

Yep, most of the teams with 400 runs scores have feasted on minnows.
