Which Records are least likely to be broken?

[PhoenixFire]

Is this the only test double in a losing cause?

Nah there's been loads.

 

[stumpski]

Wilfred Rhodes, 4,187 first-class wickets. Don't see anyone passing that in the near future.

Never, ever, ever. Will last for ever, no doubt whatsoever.

YOusaf's 10 hudreds in one year is a pretty hard one to crack..it took 80 years for somone to score 8 hundreds in an year, then i took another 30 for somone to break that and better it by 2 more...i think 10 10's in an year would stand for alteast a decade

I dont know about 10 10's, but 10 100's would take a bit of getting

Never, ever, ever. Will last for ever, no doubt whatsoever.

That's a very rash statement when considering that medical and genetic science will one day allow a man to have the body of a 25 year old for ever and no one will ever die of natural causes and all organs and bodys part will be able to be replaced artificially. A cricket career could last for an infinite amount of time so any record based on pure figures - not averages - could easily be broken many times over.

Considering the fact that by that time, we will all have died from some natural cause or whatever. 4000 is a hell of a lot.

 

[Sanz]

Some records that IMO wont be broken for long long time (ODIs) :-

Highest partnership for any wicket - 331 between Tendulkar & Dravid
Highest partnership for 10th Wicket - 106* between Richards & Holding
Highes No. of Centuries - 41 by Tendulkar
Most 5'ers in a match - 13 by Waqar.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Jayawardene and Sangakkaras partnership of 622, will never be broken

It still casts doubt on the "no doubt whatsoever".

 

[silentstriker]

2.75, which I think is more impressive than the average, by itself. A century every 2.75 innings is past great and into the utterly ludicrous territory.

 

[Dick Rockett]

thats a good knock

Haha, understatement.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I think we've missed the obvious one: it's stood since the very first innings of test cricket.

Charles Bannerman scored 165 of Australia's total of 245; giving him 67.3% of his team's total. A ratio still never bested. Scorecard from cricinfo.

Nathan Astle's fastest Test 200? Its gonna take some effort to get that. Leads Sehwag by 29 balls.
Even harder would be beating his 2nd 100 in that 200. Took just 39 balls to get from 100 to 200. Fastest test century from 0 to 100 is 56 balls

Viv Richards already beat that. Got a century in 38 balls once.

 

[Richard]

It was insane to listen to. Was listening to it on the radio in my car while breaking the speed limit to get home to watch it. Ofcourse, an over after i get home Astle knicks a wide Hoggard delivery behind. GUTTERED

That night was the only night of the series that I lasted the entire day's play.

And how glad am I that I am?

Easily the most sensational Test-cricket I've ever witnessed and am ever likely to.

DAMN you!!!!!!!!!! You JUST beat me to that-'un!!!!!!!!!

Mind, Slats came so, so close to disturbing it in 1998\99.

I hope I'm around for such a day.

 

[FRAZ]

Maintaining such a superb average through out 56 first class matches and without even bowling is a record yet to be broken tbh !!!
