5 Records that will probably soon be broken

#5. Most Runs Conceded by a Bowler in an ODI Match (Currently held by Mick Lewis, with 0/113 vs South Africa)

Lewis was on the wrong end of history against South Africa

The 2006 ODI between Australia and South Africa at the New Wanderer's was an absurd affair that saw many records broken.

The game started with Australia smashing the record for the highest ODI innings, scoring 434 when no other team had previously made 400. However, South Africa showed the fighting spirit they had become known for, and charged back to win the match by a single wicket, therefore breaking Australia's record in the process.

Caught in the middle of this carnage was the hapless Mick Lewis. The ground had short boundaries, the South African side had plenty of firepowers, and Lewis had no answers. He particularly suffered at the hands of Herschelle Gibbs, who blitzed 175 in just 111 deliveries.

However, this game was ahead of its time, and since then scores of 400 have become far more common. There have now been 19 occasions where a team has scored 400 or more in an innings, with England recently breaking the record with 6/481, also against Australia.

Players have learnt to exploit flat pitches and small grounds, as the two highest innings both took place at Trent Bridge, while the New Wanderer's stadium also played home to South Africa 2/439, where AB de Villiers scored a 44 ball 149.

Unsurprisingly, bowlers have also begun to suffer more, as there are now 12 separate occasions where a bowler has conceded 100 or more runs in an innings. It is also worth noting that four of the bowlers on this list only bowled nine overs, whereas Lewis bowled his full quota of 10.

Another point worth noting is that even the great Muttiah Muralitharan once ended with the figures of 0/99, so it doesn't take a bad bowler to have a dreadful day.

Nevertheless, Lewis will probably be quite thankful when someone takes the record off his hands.
