| The Next Sachin? http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/C...09DEC2004.html Quote:
Shishir Tiwari and Sufian Shaikh, two Mumbai schoolboys, put on 531 for the fifth-wicket in a school match to evoke memories of the world-record 664-run stand between Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli that they made 16 years ago in the same competition, the Harris Shield.
Tiwaru, born a week before Tendulkar's Test debut in November 1989, made 318 with 40 fours and four sixes while Shaikh finished with an unbeaten 202. Salim Ansari, an opening batsman, had weighed in with 287, and Tiwari and Shaikh's towering partnership took less than five hours.
Their side, Anjuman-I-Islam Fort English School, ended on 1121, a total boosted by 132 penalty runs, against the Baptist School from Thane. It is the highest known total for any side, in any form of cricket, beating Victoria's 1107 against New South Wales in 1926-27. The previous record for the highest total in the competition was held by Tendulkar's old school, Sharadashram Vidyamandir, who made 926 in 1992-93 (without him or Kambli). In reply, the Baptist School were dismissed for 46 and 145 to lose by a mammoth innings and 930 runs.
