Vanhoff 356 sets new batting record

Dashing middle order batsman Michael Vanhoff shattered a sixteen year old record for the highest individual score in an under 19 inter school match when he hammered an epic 356 to help S. Thomas’ College, Kotte trounce Lalith Athulathmudali MV outright by an innings and 172 runs in their encounter worked off at Kotte yesterday.

Skipper Vanhoff who has been a prolific run getter for his team this season collected his runs from 205 deliveries inclusive of 35 sixes and 20 boundaries as the Thomians piled up a mammoth 608 for 4 in their first innings.

He also established another record by hoisting six sixes in one over and went on to add a massive 345 runs for the second wicket together with Akila Weerasinghe. The stylish opener contributed a splendid 137 with the help of one six and 18 boundaries. Vanhoff followed up his heroics with the bat by claiming a five wicket haul to dismiss the opposition for 210 in their second innings.

In fact Vanhoff erased the previous record for the highest individual score of 304 runs scored by Indika de Saram for S. Thomas’ College Matara against Sri Devananda College Amba-langoda way back in 1993.

Lalith Athulathmudali MV: 226 (B. Chaturanga 58, B. Nayanajith 52, I. Basnayake 2 for 25, N. Mahesh 2 for 18) and 210 (B. Chaturanga 122, M. Vanhoff 5 for 105, A. Weerasinghe 2 for 48)

S. Thomas’: 608 for 4 decl (A. Werasinghe 137, M. Vanhoff 356, G. Benedict 45)
