First Ever 200?
Sri Lanka 175-0 in 25 overs.
Jayasuriya 119* off 80. 15 4s, 6 6s.
First ever 200 in ODIs on the cards?
Third score of above 400?

Someome might break Saeed Anwar's record of 194 but no one will be able to break Afridi's record of the fastest century.
I think ur right Khansahab.
gng by match fitness, reckon it'll be a non-asian player who'll cause double trouble. asia cup should've seen a double, but neither sehwag nor sanath rambled on. like saeed anwar, they too should've gone for a runner.
Theres an amazing piece on cricinfo today which talks abt wy the likes of Jayasuriya, sehwag, and gilchrist have looked like breaking anwar's record but haven't - it says that these guys go on to play their shots even when approaching the landmark and the records don't worry them.
True but anwar also kept playing his shots.
I agree a runner made his job easier - he got a runner while he was still in the 40s.
Whats more interesting is that all the journalists as cricinfo says were looking for anwar's contacts while jayasuriya was in play expecting a record breaker.
I know a blogger who was expecting the same ;-)
Q
Yes Anwar had a runner but he also had high temperature that day. So that evens it out I guess.
Plus the vast majority of his runs were scored in sixes and fours, so I don't think having a runner helped him a great deal.
