Brian Lara Challenge, 4 May 2020
In his record score of 501*, Brian Lara ran 322 times (7084 yards/4.025 miles). We are challenging all Platform Cricket Club participants to replicate this feat during the w/c 4th May, by running 322X 22 yards.

Story

In June 1994, West Indian batsman Brian Lara set a record which still stands today. He achieved the highest ever first-class score: 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham. During that innings he scored 10X sixes and 62X fours in an innings that lasted 7 hours and 7 minutes. Including runs for his partners, he also ran 322 times which equates to 7084 yards, or 4.025 miles. DURING THIS PERIOD OF LOCKDOWN DUE TO COVID-19, WE ARE CHALLENGING ALL CHILDREN INVOLVED IN PLATFORM CRICKET CLUBS TO REPLICATE BRIAN LARAS AMAZING FEAT! Grab a bat and run 322 X 22 yards. This might be all in one go or spread over a week. It might be in a garden, on a landing or in a street (providing children are 2 metres from any non-household members!). The Platform Cricket programme works in some of the most deprived parts of inner London to bring more children from disadvantaged and BAME backgrounds into cricket. Funds from this campaign will be used to sustain our charity through the lockdown period.
