Cricketer Oli Hairs, pictured by Graham Gaw in action for his Watsonian club against local rivals Carlton, is the holder of the new Scottish batting record.

Oli scored 255 for Scotland A against Oman surpassing Iain Philip’s 234 against MCC in 1991 which was the previous highest score in a Scotland representative shirt.

The monumental score was compiled off just 130 deliveries.
