Shane Watson struck a world record 15 sixes on his way to an amazing 185 to help Australia win the second one-day international by nine wickets against Bangladesh.
Watson made his runs off only 96 balls, as Australia cruised to a comfortable victory in Dhaka, and a 2-0 lead in the series.
The previous record for sixes was 12, set by West Indian Xavier Marshall against Canada in 2008.

Matthew Hayden held the previous record for Australia's top score in one-day cricket, with his unbeaten 181 against New Zealand in 2007.
Watson also broke the record for most runs in boundaries in a one-day international innings.
The Queenslander also starred in the field with two catches and a wicket as Bangladesh limped to 229 for seven from their 50 overs.
Australia captain Michael Clarke claimed afterwards that Watson's innings was the best he had ever seen.
'He hit the ball so cleanly from the first ball today and what an amazing achievement. It was great to sit and watch that,' Clarke said. 'That was probably the best innings I've ever seen.'
