Vijay Merchant: A few days ago, in the Nottinghamshire-Lancashire match at Trent Bridge in the English County Championship, Nottinghamshire’s 9-wicket win saw a performance that no cricketer has shown in years. In reply to Lancashire’s 331, Nottinghamshire scored 503 runs and in this, opener Haseeb Hameed, who has played 10 Tests for England, had a record of 247* runs in 459 balls (622 minutes), i.e. he remained unbeaten till the end. Lancashire were bowled out for 251 in the second innings and Nottinghamshire made 81-1 for victory, in which Haseeb’s score was 24* – in this too, he remained unbeaten till the end as long as the innings lasted. Another thing to note is that he also fielded in both the innings of Lancashire. This means that he was on the ground for as long as the match lasted.
