  9. Because compared to the rest of the team Astle played with ,this is the most outstanding innings because India and Sth Africa are far better teams than New Zealand will ever be.To score the fastest double century against a over confident English team who always consider themselves superior to a team from a country with a population of less than 4.5 million is special.
