There is also Reid's 296 which was the first class record for sixes in an innings for decades. 230 in boundaries.
My old history teacher Wilf Haskell there with an unfortunate duck.
Apparently he holds the record for the biggest six ever hit at the Basin though.
( he may have embellished this himself somewhat......)
It was pretty cool to look up an almanack and see his details and realise his cricket yarns weren't all complete bullshit though !

If you were to pick an all time fast scoring NZ ODI XI it would be this - using the highest strike rate in each position in the batting order (min 10 innings in that position). 3 wicket keepers to choose from and bowling from Boult, Southee, Adams, Anderson, Michael Bracewell, Ravindra. Slowest scorers in brackets.
Ravindra 110.73 (Howarth 45.84)
Munro 108.20 (Edgar 49.66)
B. McCullum 85.28 (Sinclair 56.39)
Mitchell 95.54 (Reid 50.93)
Anderson 134.31 (Burgess 56.25)
Ronchi 123.57 (Vincent 53.56)
M Bracewell 123.52 (Harris 66.98)
Smith 111.40 (Larsen 54.63)
Adams 122.04 (Pringle 57.53)
Southee 103.03 (Morrison 43.37)
Boult 78.22 (O'Connor 27.84) -

@KiwiPie looks like they'll either get 450, or be rolled for under a hundy.
Andre Adams was criminally underused by NZ. Not sure why - personality clashes?
From his Wiki page
Adams debuted at the highest level for New Zealand in March 2002, but a bout of back injuries on the West Indies tour of 2002 allowed Jacob Oram to move ahead of him in the pecking order, limiting him to one Test. Following that, question marks were raised about his attitude.and
However, this was overshadowed by his one-month suspension for grabbing and shaking the helmet of Central Districts batsman Bevan Griggs.
(presumably it was his batting helmet ....)He would have made a fortune playing the T20 leagues in the Chris Jordan role if he had been 10 years younger.

Boult 78.22 (O'Connor 27.84)Jeez, not often McCullum's the plodder that everyone else bats around.

@Cyclops yeah, I imagine his strike rate for his last year or 2 was probably closer to 150 though. Damn he was exciting to watch open the batting at that time.

From the start of 2015 he played 27 ODIs and his strike rate was 154.91.
