In local cricket I've played. Where there can be discrepancies in ability due to availability of players in various grades. The closest I can remember to 49 off 2 overs, was an inexperienced spinner in a 3 over spell that went for 51.

Just picked up my tickets for SA/Ind and SL/Bang.
India demolish South Africa, can honestly say I didn't see this one coming. Saturday - NZ vs Aus, - can't wait, but with S.A. losing, the winner of the NZ/Aus game will probably meet them in the semi-final.
England v Scotland. Could be the end of my sanity if we lose this one.
Which I believe we could.
You were wrong.
I'm always wrong :)Quote:

But this was
...at Manuka Oval.
The grounds that the teams are playing on have had the ropes come in massively, so as to make all the grounds comparable.
Manuka Oval is 55m to the boundary at one point. Eden Park is 61m to the boundary at one point.
Compare that with the usual boundaries for the SCG at 74m or the MCG which is 85m wide.
Admittedly bat technology has improved out of sight over the last ten years but even so, scores at the 2015 World Cup are being distorted because they're playing on postage stamps of grounds.
In churches' cricket I've played on larger grounds than the World Cup is currently playing on.
