[VIDEO] Which side will break England's world-record of 498-4 in ODIs (against Netherlands)?

[MenInG]

England 498-4 (Livingstone 66, Buttler 162)

It's a world record total! England have smashed their own highest ODI total of all-time - and, fittingly, Buttler brings it up with a six!

It comes down to two balls to get to 500 - 12 needed... no! Livingstone smashes it legside but it's one bounce for four. The last ball goes all the way. It's 498 for England, they fall just short of 500, but what an innings that was!

"Just stand back and marvel at the ball-striking power and skill of Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone," says Mark Butcher, on commentary!

That was special - a new world record - again! - for this England side!

What a scorecard!

Just look at that! Good pitch, small ground but some ludicrous hitting! Three centurions for England plus their fastest ever ODI fifty

I think England can break it again.

I don't see any other team breaking it currently.

 

[Asif321]

They have done it against aussies and Pakistan speaks the power they have ! Ridiculous

 

[MenInG]

 

[ElRaja]

crazy, greatest collection of power hitters in history.

 

[TheSultan]

It’s a bit of a shame they broke the world record against Netherlands. Doesn’t sound like a great record when you say it was against an associate side.

Record is a record.

This is an official ODI. Also, not every team can probably score 498 against Netherlands.

It’s a bit of a shame they broke the world record against Netherlands. Doesn’t sound like a great record when you say it was against an associate side.

They scored 481/6 vs Aus and 444/3 vs Pak.

England have evolved their ODI game.

For an associote team their still a decent side, and England batting is no joke, I do not think any other Test playing nation would be able to get the same or even higher score against the Netherlands.

 

[Shaddy86]

India talks of 2 teams and here's England smashing teams to blithering with 2 totally different sets of players, both playing agressive cricket. This record is gonna stay for a while unless England themselves go onto beat it.

 

[Fenrir]

No other team has big hitters like England.They have the strongest bench strength now.

 

[TheSultan]

They scored 481/6 vs Aus and 444/3 vs Pak.

England have evolved their ODI game.

Exactly 481-6 looks good. Someone looks at that and “Respect”

498 vs Netherlands looks like “meh was only against Netherlands.

England should have slowed down at the end to maintain the previous record

 

[Rana]

How does England play its full ODI side against Netherlands but plays its C team against Pakistan?

 

[sweep_shot]

How does England play its full ODI side against Netherlands but plays its C team against Pakistan?

Not full.

Bairstow, Stokes, Root, and Wood are missing.

 

[MP2011]

Its frightening to see the gulf between English ODI team and rest of the teams. This is Australiaesque dominance in ODIs.

 

[MP2011]

They'll be runaway favorites to retain the ODI WC next year. Indian pitches will suit their power hitters.

 

[Technics 1210]

The most hilarious aspect of this score?

Morgan's golden duck.

Time to get rid of England's ODI captain.

 

[MenInG]

Records that England set today:

- The highest ODI team total
- The second-fastest ODI 150
- The second-fastest ODI 50
- The most sixes in a team innings

 

[Ab Fan]

So, de Villiers record still stands

 

[Major]

It’s a bit of a shame they broke the world record against Netherlands. Doesn’t sound like a great record when you say it was against an associate side.

doesnt matter, they still held the record against Pakistan than against Australia.

What was really a shame was Sri Lanka getting the record after a few months of that South Africa chase....

 

[Major]

They'll be runaway favorites to retain the ODI WC next year. Indian pitches will suit their power hitters.

naa. Indian pitches is where spinners dominate. Pakistan with a bad team in 2011 made it to the semis.

Subcontinent World Cup is a treat to watch

They cannot hit like this every day against good teams. A WC has lot of games.

<b>England will keep chasing magic score of 500 says Jos Buttler after huge win over Netherlands</b>

Jos Buttler says England will keep chasing the magical target of 500 runs in one-day internationals after a record-breaking victory over the Netherlands.

England posted a staggering 498-4 against the Dutch at the VRA Cricket Ground in Amstelveen, bettering the 481-6 they made against Australia at Trent Bridge in 2018, as well as surpassing the List A record of 496-4, scored by Surrey in 2007.

It was spearheaded by wicketkeeper Buttler's unbeaten 162 off 70 balls, which included 14 sixes and seven fours.

He was ably supported by fellow centurions Dawid Malan (125) and Phil Salt (122) and Liam Livingstone's brutal 66 off 22 balls as England racked up 26 sixes in total - many of which were hit into the forest surrounding the ground.

Livingstone needed 12 off the final two balls in England's innings to reach 500 but could only manage a four and a six as England fell just short of the milestone.

Buttler said: "We've come close one time before this and the message in the team is to try to keep pushing boundaries and taking the team forward, take the game on. And everyone really stuck to that.

"Is it a matter of time before me make 500? I don't know. We'll keep trying to do it. It's a tough thing to try to achieve. It'll probably have to happen on a belting wicket at a small ground.

"I think the biggest thing, irrelevant of the score, is the mentality we are showing as a team. We keep trying to better that and be better as a team when we play. We know that stands us in good stead."

Buttler typically operates as the middle-order 'finisher' in England's batting line-up, and was promoted to four against the Dutch, but is adaptable to whatever the situation requires.

He continued: "I think over the years when we have got off to good starts I've sometimes been pushed up to number four or something and here we got off to a fantastic start with Phil Salt and Dawid Malan and we are pretty flexible as a group. If that's what they do on the day I'm more than happy.

"I can't see many chances of it presenting itself in the future, though, with Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Phil Salt and these guys at the top of the order. The middle-order role is something I enjoy in one-day cricket as well. I am very happy with the role I have got."

Without multi-format players Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and Ben Stokes this was a chance for some of England's other white-ball players to catch the eye of new coach Matthew Mott.

Competition for places in England's top order has never been so intense and Buttler reflected on the depth of that pool of talent.

He added: "Phil Salt looks just another one off the production line with white-ball batters in England. I've been really impressed watching him up close in the days leading into this.

"He's struck the ball incredibly cleanly here. It puts the bowlers under a lot of pressure. He's very fearless and in the Jason Roy mould at the top of the order. He's got a great future.

"Liam Livingstone too, has got an incredible talent for walking in and being able to hit fifth or sixth gear straight away. It's really exciting for English cricket.

"It's a really strong group. I think that's been something over the last few years - that competition for places has been really healthy and that's just driven standards higher and higher. We need to keep that in all areas of the game with bat and ball. I think that's what drives the standards higher."

Highlights of this amazing innings added to Post #1

 

[Desi Don]

most probably England

 

[topspin]

When Pakistan chased India's total in the WT20, they achieved it without losing a wicket.

When you consider how India bowled, if England were playing an ODI and batting first on that day instead they could have scored 500+ without loss after 50 overs.

 

[Firebat]

Nobody except England. Buttler was already talking about aiming to break 500. They'll do it.

 

[Mamoon]

A bowling attack of Haris, Hassan, Naseem and Shadab on a flat pitch can give England 500 runs.

 

[gazza619]

Well if minnows like Netherland continue to get a chance against the big guns then 500 in 50 overs is no big deal in modern cricket. Just a matter of time

 

[RexRex]

A bowling attack of Haris, Hassan, Naseem and Shadab on a flat pitch can give England 500 runs.

This is a good shout. I remember clearly the recent Eng-Pak series where Salt and Livingstone treated them like gully bowlers. It was a treat to watch.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They'll be runaway favorites to retain the ODI WC next year. Indian pitches will suit their power hitters.

They lost the ODI series they played in India last year. If BCCI are smart, they can ensure that they give slow pitches on the largest grounds with the boundaries pushed right back.

They'll be completely neutralised

They have yet to win any memorable white ball series outside their home grounds.

 

[Mamoon]

They have yet to win any memorable white ball series outside their home grounds.

Smashed full-strength Australia 4-1 in Australia in 2017-18.

 

[MP2011]

They have yet to win any memorable white ball series outside their home grounds.

They didn't win an ODI WC before 2019 despite 3 tries. Period.

I won't undermine their last WC win just because it came at home. Yeah, Kiwis have every right to feel cheated but the final outcome won't change.

 

[MP2011]

Hope you are proved right. But considering how much BCCI is concentrating on earning moolah these days, I don't have high hopes from them to get into such nitty gritty.

 

[MP2011]

naa. Indian pitches is where spinners dominate. Pakistan with a bad team in 2011 made it to the semis.

Subcontinent World Cup is a treat to watch

That was more than a decade back. Indian ODI pitches are as flat as any other pitch in world.

 

[MP2011]

They cannot hit like this every day against good teams. A WC has lot of games.

I agree. That's the only chance other teams will get to catch England on wrong foot.

 

[arif_2021]

They are a dangerous side, but once in a while they have a habit of collapsing and that is why they need players like root and stokes in ALL of their teams including T20, ODI.

Their aggressive approach will not work 100% of the time.

 

[James]

The team that played in the first ODI against Netherlands was very strong, and good enough to beat most teams anywhere.

Morgan can essentially be played as a specialist captain, even if he is a spent force with the bat (which he might not be yet) because the rest of the lineup is so robust.

I do think that the XI overall can be made even better though.

As good as Salt and Malan are in the top order, and as useful an all rounder as S.Curran is.

Bairstow, Root, Stokes — they are all to come back.

Bairstow needs no introduction.
Whereas England can utilise Root as an anchor and touch player in case the power hitting strategy goes wrong.
And Stokes is their talismanic hero figure for a pressure situation in a semi or a final.

The seam bowling with Willey and Topley is solid, but it is arguably second string. Archer, Woakes, Wood are all missing due to injury. So we will see what happens with that. (There is also Jordan but I think he is past it & should be left out.)

Rashid and Moeen meanwhile would obviously both play in the World Cup due to their experience and the matches taking place in India. Root might turn his arm over for a few bonus overs also.

In summary, an embarrassment of riches.

No Indian batting lineup can ever break this record. We just don't have any natural six hitter of the ball.

Only England and South Africa if they can place a team similar to the mid 2010s has a chance to break such record.
