The highest for a batsman who carried his bat in a one-day international is Sachin Tendulkar undefeated 200 for India against South Africa in Gwalior in 2009-10. In second place is Martin Guptill's recent blitz for New Zealand - 189 not out against England in Southampton last month. Upul Tharanga made 174 not out against India in Kingston last week, the second-highest score for Sri Lanka in ODIs after Sanath Jayasuriya's 189 in Sharjah in 2000-01, also against India. Upul Tharanga did bat throughout the innings, but it's not normally counted as carrying the bat unless the team was all out - and Sri Lanka lost only one wicket! There have been seven bigger not-out scores by openers in ODIs.
