New South Wales smash incredible 465 runs in one-day match against Western Australia
The Blues finished their innings on 7-465, with left-hander Ben Rohrer belting 108 runs off just 66 balls, and getting good support from wicketkeeper Ryan Carters (91 off 70), all-rounder Moises Henriques (87 off 55) and young gun Nic Maddinson (76 off 48).

Ben Rohrer cut loose for NSW against Western Australia.Source: News LimitedNEW SOUTH WALES made one of the highest scores ever recorded in a 50-over match, racking up a mammoth 465 runs against Western Australia on Wednesday
The Warriors - who were severely weakened due to Perth Scorchers being in India for the Champions League T20 - just missed out by a casual 252 runs, bowled out for 213 in the 40th over with veteran bowler Doug Bollinger the chief destroyer.
The Blues’ total was larger than the highest ever score in a one-day international, recorded back in 2006 when Sri Lanka walloped 443 runs against a hapless Netherlands outfit.
It also eclipsed Australia’s highest ODI total of 4-434, which was famously not enough to beat South Africa in Johannesburg as Herschelle Gibbs led the home side to a memorable one-wicket win.
However, the record for the best total in a domestic one-dayer remains untouched, with Surrey’s unfathomable 4-496 against Gloucester at the Oval sure to reign at the top of the charts for a long while yet.
