With the planets finest short-form players in action at the ICC World Twenty20, there must a fair chance that some new T20I records are set. But who holds said records at the moment? Read on for details of an Aaron Finch smash-a-thon, a run-fest in Johannesburg, a 45-ball ton and an over Stuart Broad would rather you didnt mention...156 - Highest score (Aaron Finch, AUSTRALIA v England, Ageas Bowl, 2013)Opener Finch went berserk at The Ageas Bowl, smashing 14 sixes and 11 fours as he surpassed the previous best T20I innings, Brendon McCullums 123 against Bangladesh in the 2012 World T20. So memorable was the knock that an exquisite 90 not out from 49 balls by Joe Root - who was smashed for three straight maximums by Finch - has been largely forgotten. Joe Roots 90 came in vain for England 220-6 - Record team score (SRI LANKA v Kenya, Johannesburg, 2007)With Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene in your team, youre going to give someone a pummelling at some stage. Kenya were that someone. Sangakkara missed out, relatively speaking, with an 18-ball 30, leaving Jayasuriya (88 from 44) and Jayawardene (65 from 27) to do the brunt of the damage before Jehan Mubarak (46 from 10) ran riot at the end.467 - Highest match aggregate (SOUTH AFRICA v WINDIES, Jburg, 2015)South Africa must have been feeling pretty confident after Faf du Plessis 119 from 56 balls helped them post 231-7 last January - yet they ended up on the losing side as Chris Gayle (90 from 43) and Marlon Samuels (60 from 39) set a base and Darren Sammy (20no from 7) blasted the Windies home, the tourists ending on 236-6 after Sammy mowed over square leg for six. Faf du Plessis biffed 119 against West Indies - and lost! 45 balls - Fastest ton (Richard Levi, SOUTH AFRICA v NZ, Hamilton, 2012)Du Plessis century came off 46 balls and Finchs from 47, meaning burly Levi remains the quickest man to three figures in a T20I. Levi, who now plays for Northamptonshire, went on to score an unbeaten 117 from 51 deliveries as the Proteas strolled past the Black Caps 173 with exactly four overs to spare, AB de Villiers (39 from 36) relegated to support act - for once!6 - Most sixes in an over (Yuvraj Singh, INDIA v ENGLAND, Durban, 2007)Look away now, Stuart Broad! The England seamer must have cricked his neck in the 2007 World T20 as he watched Yuvraj muscle each delivery of his 19th over beyond the ropes - the Indian clearing, in chronological order, cow corner, deep backward square, extra cover, backward point, midwicket and mid-on while thumping the swiftest fifty in T20 history (12 balls). Stuart Broad looks on as Yuvraj wallops him for another six 19 - Record number of sixes in an innings (NETHERLANDS v Ireland, Sylhet, 2014)Netherlands needed to chase down Irelands 189 in 14.2 overs to make the Super 10s stage of the 2014 World T20. They did it 13.5. Stephan Myburgh nailed seven sixes, Tom Cooper hit six and Wesley Barresi a further three, including the one that sealed victory and lifted the Dutch above the 18 maximums Australia biffed in that Finch-inspired knock against England.6-8 - Best bowling figures (Ajantha Mendis, SL v Zim, Hambantota, 2012)Mendis, overlooked by Sri Lanka this year, is the only man to take two six-wicket hauls in a T20I. He got the 2012 World T20 off to a bang with 6-8 against Zimbabwe, though would have had 6-4 had he not bowled a rank leg-sider that Elton Chigumbura swept to the fence! Mendis also took 6-16 against Australia in 2011, Steve Smith and David Warner among his victims Ajantha Mendis celebrates a wicket during his 6-8 against Zimbabwe 171 - Highest partnership (Guptill & Williamson, NZ v Pak, Hamilton, 2016)Guptill and Williamson put Pakistans attack to the sword in January with their 171-run stand for the opening wicket, which pipped the 170 Graeme Smith and Loots Bosman plundered against England in 2009. Guptill (87) walloped four sixes but Williamson (72) hit none, his score the third highest in T20Is without a maximum, after Du Plessis (79no) and Ricky Ponting (76).Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has accused Wallabies counterpart Michael Cheika of hijacking New Zealands world record celebrations in a sensational aftermath to Saturday nights Bledisloe Cup finale in Auckland.Seething at being dressed up as a red-nosed clown in the New Zealand Herald on the morning of the match, Cheika claimed the All Blacks dont respect the Wallabies.In an extraordinary rant after Australias 37-10 loss at Eden Park, Cheika was also upset at not receiving a direct invitation into the triumphant dressing room after the All Blacks chalked up an unprecedented 18th consecutive tier-one Test match win.But Cheikas biggest gripe was the cartoon illustration in New Zealands national newspaper.They dressed us up as clowns today. They put our crest on it, so they wouldnt want our comment (about the record), Cheika snapped.I dont think they respect our comment, anyway, so we wont make one.Cheika eventually congratulated the All Blacks for their outstanding accomplishment before Wallabies captain Stephen Moore intervened to savage the newspaper, saying he was deeply offended.The way the jersey is portrayed in that picture, for everyone that has pulled that on in the history of the Wallabies, I think thats pretty disrespectful, Moore said.They won the game so theyre the ones laughing, so what do you do? Cheika stopped short of saying relationships between the Wallabies and All Blacks team ranks were frayed.Theyre on top and were nowhere at this stage. Thats the relationship between the teams, he said.The thing that got me a bit offside was tthe accusation (before the first Test in Sydney in August) that we tried to bug them.dddddddddddd.Like, really? Hello. Honestly? ... Thats what would cause that bad (blood) for me, that show of lack of respect.I wouldnt even be smart enough to get that stuff organised. Im too busy working on my own team.They hold onto it, drop it on the day of the game. They dont need to do that stuff. Theyre too good anyway.Its only because they want to do it to try and needle either me or us.I wouldnt say its friendly.Cheika said hed happily share a beer with the All Blacks - but hadnt been asked to.Hansen, though, insisted there was always an open invitation into the All Blacks team room for the opposition and said the All Blacks respected the Wallabies immensely.He then accused Cheika of sulking.The paper I saw, he was dressed up like a clown. Youve got to be bigger than that, dont you? Hansen said.Ive been dressed up as a clown myself. You dont want to take it to heart, otherwise itll break you.Weve got no control over what the media do ... the thing for me, this conference tonight seems to have been hijacked by something thats really got nothing to do with rugby, (by) someone feeling a little aggrieved about things that you guys have done, making him be a clown.It shouldnt get hijacked tonight. What happened tonight is a really good Test match between two good teams, some great rugby played and it was a good advert for the game. ' ' '
