The Belvidere Cup is the traditional competition, there is a separate limited overs tournament. It was traditionally played over two days as time cricket, but is now a mixture of two day games and one day games played on a predominantly overs basis in the same way as the ECB Premier games are. I’m pretty sure it’s still a red ball competition though. If you count a kookaburra as a cricket ball anyway.

Worthy of note that it’s the third highest individual innings ever in the competition. Behind only Phil Jacques and Victor Trumper. That’s some company.

Yes, It appears that this particular match was of the 50 over variety. I'm not diminishing this youngsters achievement but I'm sure the other triple centurians took a great more than 135 deliveries to achieve the feat. It's another example,albeit an extreme one,of the increasing imbalance between batting and bowling.
Consequently the bowling option is becoming less appealing to youngsters which will lead to a further widening of the imbalance.

This lad was playing for Sydney Strikers at an academy T10 tournament in Melbourne.

As soon as I saw his name on this thread I remember there was a Singh who stood out. Didn’t get that many runs but his striking of the ball was really clean and he mainly stood out as he looks fairly ungainly!
