Record Breaker for more than a Century

When 1009 not-out was scored by a Mumbai schoolboy, the cricketing world compared young Pranav Dhanawade to Sachin Tendulkar and predicted a bright future. But what about the man whose record he broke? English schoolboy Arthur Collins, with his score of 628, had held the world record for more than a hundred years. Cricket writer, Martin Williamson, argues that Arthur's record is still better than this year's four figure effort.
