Record ODI score: Hayden smashes 181, loses match (2007)

On 20 February 2007, Matthew Hayden posted his highest ODI score (181 not out) against New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

It was the highest ODI innings ever by an Australian which at the time gave him the unique distinction of holding both the test and ODI record scores for an Australian batsman until it was broken by Shane Watson's 185* in 2011.

NZ won this 3rd ODI to whitewash Aus 3-0.
