Top 10 Highest individual scores on ODI debut

8. Michael Lumb (England) 106:

Another England batsman, Michael Lumb had a memorable debut in the Caribbean in 2004. At the age of 34, he became England’s oldest debutant in ODIs. Lumb got an opportunity to play since Alex Hales and Eoin Morgan were ruled out due to injuries. England selected their T20I team for an ODI series due to scheduling issues and the left-handed opening batsman Lumb became the beneficiary who grabbed this opportunity with both hands. He was a regular member of the T20 side and known for his attacking batting. West Indies batting first posted 269/6 and England had a great chance to win the match courtesy Lumb who scored a wonderful 106 off 117 balls. England eventually fell short by 15 runs and lost the first of the 3-match series. With the selectors opting for younger players Lumb’s ODI career was limited to just 3 ODIs of this series which England won 2-1. He did well scoring 165 runs at an average of 55.00.
