Former Australian batsman Chris Lynn has pummelled an explosive 154 off 55 balls during a Queensland Premier Cricket T20 match in Brisbane. Lynn struck 20 sixes and five boundaries to help guide the Toombul to a formidable first innings total of 6/266 against the Sunshine Coast at Oxenham Park on Sunday. Of the 154 runs he scored, 140 came from boundaries.
Queensland Bulls batsman Matthew Renshaw also contributed 55 in the onslaught, the two combining for a damaging 149-run partnership. Incredibly, Sunshine Coast’s Blake Maher responded with a 35-ball century in the run chase, before he was eventually dismissed for 109. Toombul went on to win the match by 18 runs after the Sunshine Coast recorded 7/248 from their 20 overs. The 30-year-old is the highest run-scorer in BBL history, with 2332 runs in 75 innings for the Brisbane Heat.
