Richard Levi record breaking Twenty20 inning

Richard Levi is well known a big hard-hitting batsman, with an excellent Twenty20 strike-rate, and a reputation as a cool customer. Richard Levi also represents South Africa in the Under-19 World Cup in 2006. Richard Levi hit the most sixes 13, in a Twenty20 innings on his way to the fastest hundred in the T20I format, off just 45 balls. Richard Levi brought up his half-century off just 25 balls with only one single on the off side. Most of his sixes were sent down the ground or over the leg-side boundary, as all New Zealand bowlers were unable to control his innings. Richard Levi said; In-deed it was great fun, every shot we seemed to play came off, AB De Villiers kept me calm. The leg side boundary was bit short, so I targeted leg side. I have no idea about the records; the time just went unbelievably quickly. New Zealand captain BB McCullum said when a player plays like that inning, there’s not too much we can do. Richard Levi played an absolutely mind-boggling innings; he was too extremely good tonight and didn’t allow us to bowl well.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
