Mark Boucher

In what was an exhibition of impeccable minnow bashing, South African wicketkeeper-batsman Mark Boucher etched his name into the record books with his solitary ODI century. In an ODI at Potchefstroom, Boucher came into bat at number 4 and celebrated his promotion with a breathtaking assault on the Zimbabwean bowling attack.

He ended up scoring 147 runs in 68 balls and hit 8 fours and 10 sixes in an innings that lasted one-and-a-half hours. He reached his century off 44 balls which is currently the 4th fastest century ever scored in ODIs.
