Records in batting do not reveal the whole picture i.e. the state of pitch, the weather, the state of mind of the man holding the dreaded pistol pointing towards the sky (the umpire!), the bowler on whom the batsman scored the most, the state of the match etc. I think all these matter.
But when we speak of records, then records have to be considered. Hayden's mammoth total was also due to scoring against poor opposition and the minnows. I ask friends, why has the Indian team's score of 413 not been highlighted. It is the best in ALL WORLD CUPS played so far.
My beloved team's batting is still the best in the world, but some were playing against Ganguly, some were fighting for captaincy, and almost all of them are still fighting for ads. They do not at all talk of cricket.This way they can never play when it matters. What do you think friends?

In a way u have summed up Indian cricket in a nutshell. Great individual performers, selfish in motive,no team spirit and most of all crave only for individual records. The media did mention here & there about India making the highest total in World Cup. But sadly as u have rightly pointed, this record has not been given its due weightage. Sad commentary of Indian cricket.

Well, it is considered as the highest score ever in WC and it is in the books. Why is it not such a big deal?
1. Against Bermuda.
2. India got eliminated later
Those reasons probably marred that mammoth total.
Its like Sri Lanka's world record score of 443 against Netherlands. Its in record books as the highest score ever in ODI's but not much attention given since its against a minnow team.

there is no reason for highlighting that record,it doesn't matter to anybody, that match would be better remembered for the stunning catch by Bermuda captain Levrock

It is very well there in the record books.
But when we lost our way so early what is the use in highlighting the by product.
