Bengal middle-order batsman Pankaj Shaw made it truly a Merry Christmas amassing a record 413 not out in the three-day Cricket Association of Bengal First Division tournament here on Sunday.

Representing Barisha Sporting, the 28-year-old batsman struck 44 fours and 23 sixes en route to the first 400-plus score in a three-day CAB league.

Barisha Sporting were overnight 192/2 with the No. 4 batsman on 44 as he carried forward his sublime knock on Sunday.

Shaw shared 203 for the sixth wicket with Ajmer Singh (47) and 191 for the eighth wicket with Shreyan Chakraborty (22) as Barisha Sporting piled on a mammoth 708/8 declared in 115 overs at the Oxford Mission Douglas ground at Behala.

Put in, Dakshin Kalikata Sansad were bundled out for 369 in 114.1 overs to concede a first innings lead to Barisha who returned with four points.

DKS were 96/2 after 20 overs at close as they settled for two points.

Shaw, who made his Ranji debut against Rajasthan last season, has played 12 First-Class, four List A and 12 Twenty20 matches for Bengal.

And this is in a club league and in itself a incredible effort but it also magnifies the knocks Lara played for WI and Warwickshire, those knocks were alien like

Apparently a bowler or some fielder dropped him at a very low score before Lara made that 500. Therr was an article on him at the Guardian and the poor chap is known till date for being the one who dropped Lara before he made the 500.

It was the most expensive drop in history Chris Scott was his name, he has been IMMORTALISED after the drop he said that Lara would probably go onto get a hundred now, Lara came into the game with 6 FC hundreds in 7 games. Man those were the golden years for Warwickshire, Woolmer was the coach; county cricket was so much fun but I guess that would make sense given the star power in the 90's

You beat me to it. I think he dropped him on 38 no? Lara should thank Walsh in hindsight. Originally PRabhakar was the overseas player for Warwickshire, but Wash broke his nose in India and rendered him unfit to play. Lara replaced Prabhakar as the overseas player and rest as well know is history.

India must have some terrible bowlers.

Yes they do, but even if one bowls underarm and have one pitch as out, it is very very difficult to hit 400.

This guy seems like a very late bloomer, made his FC debut last year. Problem at FC or club cricket is less to do with talent and more to do with lack of consistency.

it is at club level but shows the stamina and patience plus application of the lad....we need batting pitches here in pak to produce high quality players who can bat for long with out losing concentration..unfortunately these under prepared wickets willl produce just sloggers..
