CHRISTCHURCH (Agencies): Canterbury opener Chad Bowes broke the record for the fastest double century in men’s List A matches on Wednesday, reaching his double ton in 103 balls against Otago in Christchurch at the Ford Trophy, New Zealand’s main List A competition. The previous record was jointly held by Australia’s Travis Head and India’s N Jagadeeshan, who reached the milestone in 114 balls. Bowes, who has represented New Zealand in limited over cricket, hit seven sixes and 27 fours as he scored 205 from 110 balls in his 100th List A match, helping Canterbury post 343-9. “It might sink in over the next day or two… glad it was my day,” the 32-year-old said. “It started off pretty nicely so I just kept going. It was working so I didn’t try to reign it in too much.” Batting second, Otago folded for 103, handing Canterbury a 240-run victory.
