Mark Waugh 62 & Simon O'Donnell 71* v England at SCG 1991

Mark Waugh 62 and Simon O'Donnell 71* in ODI against England at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1990-91. It was also a first and last in this game. It was the first of Mark Waugh's 135 scores of 50 or more for Australia. Only Ricky Ponting with more scores over 50 with 216. Rounding off the top 5 are Allan Border 132, Steve Waugh 130 and Michael Clarke 122 (David Warner is closing in). It was the last time Simon O'Donnell passed 50 for Australia. Also included is the non-run out of Steve Waugh due to Phil Tufnel's fielding.

Simon O’Donnell with a modern bat would have been smashing balls out of the ground regularly. He hit the ball so hard.

Agree, he was so great to watch in ODI's

[@aygwads5945]

O'Donnell was on point that season

Why didn't the great O'Donnell have a more distinguished ODI career for Australia?

@@sauron2000000 He did though! Just don't mention World Cup 1992 :-|

@@sauron2000000 Pretty sure once he got diagnosed with non-hodgkin lymphoma (cancer) while on tour in India, kinda put a dent in his career :( I am just glad he beat the cancer ;)

Simon O'Donnell was only 2 years older than Mark and Steve Waugh. I kind if feel his career ended way too soon given his immense talent.

Judging by that scorecard, Phil Tufnell's blunder didn't set back England all that much. All that it did was bring about a Simon O'Donnell onslaught when he did come to the wicket a few overs later.

4:20 including when Simon O'Donnell _needed_ to be told to get a grip

Cue the Benny Hill theme

Boon and Marsh had no business to play this world cup
