I am part of that historic ODI in which 872 runs were scored and that was my last match in international cricket too. Guess, who am I?

Yes, I am Mick Lewis, the Australian fast bowler who conceded 113 runs and holds the dubious record of conceding the most runs in an ODI.

A match for the ages, the 5th ODI between Australia and South Africa saw a tremendous reversal of fortunes as South Africa unbelievably chased the target of 434 to clinch the series 3-2.

The South African batsmen, especially Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith, Mark Boucher demolished the opposition bowlers and Lewis, particularly, was the ‘chosen’ one.

A bowler who started his international career with some impactful performances could never get back to the realms of international cricket after that debacle and is now only being remembered as the one who conceded the most number of runs in an ODI.
