Boon took 166 balls to score his century, the slowest hundred in ODI history

David Boon was an amiable opening batsman who established an outstanding rapport with his fellow opening batsman Geoff Marsh in assisting Australian Cricket team to recuperate from the poor showing of the early 80s.

In the Benson & Hedges World Series at Hobart on 10th December 1991, India won the toss and chose to bat against the Australians.

The mighty Australian bowling line-up dismissed India for a paltry 175. It was an effortless chase for the Australians where David Boon played brilliantly according to the match scenario.

The opener obtained a century off 166 balls and was declared as a Man of the Match. However, this infamous record is still with David Boon.
