Ok, 65 yards sounds about right
Seriously 50 yards would have been a joke.
I'm not taking anything away from the knock, but surely it's like the Swimming records with the new suits? As boundaries get smaller to encourage runs, scores will escalate disproportionately. So though people are smashing all the swimming records, does it make it a better swim than one set in a suit with more friction? Is this a better knock than one worth less runs on a harder pitch (i.e not one that has already seen a 200 scored) against better bowlers under more pressure with bigger boundaries?
Obviously you still have to do it, but let's not pretend a wayward medium fast attack that bowls with width isn't going to get carted by Sehwag every day of the week
It's like the SA v AUS game. Crazy, but then with tiny boundaries and the altitude effecting the travel of the ball. Was it a better game than one where a team made 300 on a minefield?
