Mick Lewis holds the record for conceding the most runs in a One Day International match. He gave away 113 runs in 10 overs while playing for Australia against South Africa in the famous 438-run chase match in 2006. That match itself became historic because South Africa successfully chased 434 runs, which was considered almost impossible at that time. Mick Lewis struggled badly against aggressive batting from players like Herschelle Gibbs and Mark Boucher. Honestly, even though the record sounds harsh for a bowler, that match is remembered more as one of the greatest ODI games ever played in cricket history.
