The record is made to be broken as Josh Dunstan break 33 years old record of Sir Viv Richards. Josh Dunstan decided to take matters into his own hands. Playing for West Augusta B Grade in South Australia, Dunstan decided to bowl out some pain when his team took on Central Stirling. Josh Dunstan was dropped by wicketkeeper earlier of his inning. Coming in at one-down, the 32-year-old smashed 307 runs in a 35-overs-a-side match. He plundered 40 sixes in his hurricane knock but what was even more incredible was the fact that his triple-century made up more than 86 percent of West Augusta's team total of 354 for nine.
To be exact, Dunstan's score was 86.72 percent of his side's total runs. In the process, the Australian shattered a 33-year-old ODI record set by West Indies great Viv Richards for the highest percentage of runs in a completed innings which last for 33 years (1984), Richards had put England bowlers to the sword at Old Trafford, smashing 189 runs. West Indies went on to score 272 for nine from 55 overs with Richards' score accounting for 69.48 percent of his team's total.
To put it into context, five of Dunstan's teammates fell for ducks while the next best score was an 18 not out by Ben Russell. Dunstan started his knock with a six and scored 307 of the 318 runs that followed.
