No it is still 36. Gary Sobers for Glamorgan v Nottinghamshire, at Swansea in 1968, off the bowling of MA Nash.
Three times the ball went out of the ground, and once it ran down the road for half a mile!
Ravi Shastri also did it for Bombay (Mumbai) v Baroda at Bombay (Mumbai) in 1984-85 off the bowling of Tilak Raj.
In test cricket it is 28 by Brian Lara vs South Africa in Johannesburg, in 2003-04 off RJ Peterson. In ODI Sanath Jayasuriya has scored 30 twice. vs New Zealand in Sharjah in 2001-02, off C Harris, and vs Pakistan in Singapore in 1995-96, off Aamir Sohail.
Well done to "Zuhair-from-pakistan" I didn't scroll down the list far enough to see the no-ball overs. It should also be pointed out that in that 75 run over, it says runs were being deliberately conceeded by the fielding side. I can't see why anybody would ever do that, unless it was to prevent a hated rival from winning the league or something....

For people's information, the 75 run over is not generally taken into consideration for this record due to the contrived nature of the circumstances. Robert Vance was asked to bowl a series of long hop no balls to give Canterbury some easy runs in order that they could set up a declaration.
