Bowlers getting a century!

Last updated on: March 08, 2009 19:15 IST

It was a day that New Zealand pacer Tim Southee won't forget for the rest of his life for sure as the Indian batsmen scored a century off his bowling.

The 20-year-old was smashed for 105 runs off his 10 overs as India ended up with a mammoth 392 for four in their 50 overs during the third One-Day International in Wellington on Sunday.

Southee thus became only the third bowler in ODI history to concede 100 or more runs in a match.

The following table lists worst bowling performances in a ODI:

Runs Overs Player vs Venue Season
113-0 10 ML Lewis (Aus) SA Johannesburg 2005-06
105-2 12 MC Snedden (NZ) Eng The Oval 1983
