It's difficult for the Australian squad to set fresh records.
The top summits have long been mastered.
We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.
The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has achieved everything.
It needed as late as Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over five decades.
It's challenging for their batters to maintain a record if never given the opportunity.
In the end, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to deliver her latest masterpiece.
Initially recognized as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.
A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have come from 10 attempts across formats.
The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.
That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.
At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not fail again.
The question of whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.
Many contend the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.
What's definite is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.
The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.
"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it has been a disappointing period because it appeared I lacked timing at all," stated Healy.
"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts take over and you simply focus on the competition."
Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.
She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.
A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from there the batsman was underway.
"The possibility to go out there and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.
She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.
By the time she was out her side needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.
"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I am glad we have the belief to accomplish that now," continued Healy.
"Ideally we won't need to do it again but, if we do, we believe we can achieve it."
That comment will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this tournament should hear.
During the last week a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this victory succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.
Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.
It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at an important competition.
Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated through the pain.
But while she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as captain.
Victory in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
