Had a look, if he can score another 100 in his next ODI innings he will tie the record for quickest (least innings) to score 10 x ODI's 100s
The record is 55 held by SA's Quentin de Kock

More on Mitch......

An extraordinary average of 58.47.

Unlike other ODI champs of the past this is not padded out by loads of not outs, eight in 54 innings ( by comparison Michael Bevan averaged 53.58 with 67 not outs in 196 innings )

Also a strike rate of 95.72. This is amazing given he quite often is in that awkward rebuild stage ( it's the Black Caps remember, collapses are always imminent ) he's getting his runs consistently at pretty much a run a ball.

In one sense its a damn shame he's 35 this year but then he could have started early, been fucked around and been in and out of the side and become a forgotten "what if" like so many others. It seems he's taken a few years to work out his game and is benefitting at the highest level given his FC stats don't particularly stand out.

Let's keep enjoying his contributions while he keeps making them.

He grabbed his chance when it came and hasn't looked back

Clarke shows he's never fielded in cricket before.

[Bones]

Fucking twice. Clown show.

Fucking shocking, twice in 3 balls, has turned singles into 4’s

[Gunner]

Now 5 wides, just coz India weren’t already scoring fast enough.

Need wickets, FAST!

[Bones]

Let Mitch or Phillips bowl

[Bones]

Clarke now finding that a short pitched slow ball is probably not the answer.

[Bones]

Boom, brilliant strategy from Clarke.

[Bones]

Surely we're just playing rope a dope before the tournament? This is embarrassing.

[Bones]

Superb effort from Phillips. Go on Mitch...

[Bones]

One thing I don't understand is going out of your way to get a shit touch on a clearly very wide ball.

[Virgil]

in better news.. Mitch officially Number 1 in ODI batting rankings.

Should be noted all 5 Indian batsmen in the top 11 played in the recent series.
highlights how well our bowlers did.

[Bovidae]

Without seeing a single ball in this match, the scorecard shows that Jamieson is not a T20i bowler.

[Bones]

@Bovidae Wide was the most economic bowler I think, but not by much.
