Some 500 school children in Australia have joined the country’s best cricketers to set a new Guinness World Record.

Cricket Australia has managed to set a new Guinness World Records title for the largest cricket lesson with a 30-minute session at the popular Sydney Cricket Ground. The session featured hundreds of young cricketers as well as Australia’s national team coach and players.

The kids were counted by 2 Guinness World Record representatives who verified that the presence of 448 kids has topped the previous number of 250 by a wide margin.

To set the record, all the kids had to take part in a pre-approved cricket lesson where they all performed the same activity at once.
