Which Records are least likely to be broken?

[rodzilla1010]

I think the most difficult record to break will Afridi's 37 ball hundred, the second fastest is a joint record for Lara and Afridi in 45 balls, which is 8 balls or 21% more balls than the original record.

what other records will be the hardest to break?

99.94

Easy - Jim Laker's record of 19 wickets in a Test. That will never be equalled, never mind broken.

forgot about that one...but there is always a chance of somone scoring a hundred on debut and never to play again

 

[Goughy]

As has already happened

 

[silentstriker]

Well, obviously I'm talking about someone with a reasonable amount of Test cricket (say 30 matches).

 

[silentstriker]

Also: 2.75 (ratio of innings/centuries).

This might sound a bit naive, but I don't see anybody overtaking Wasim Akram's record of most wickets in ODIs. I thought Lee might have had a chance, but not sure about that anymore.

 

[Goughy]

One that will never be broken is Jack Hobb's record of 199 FC centuries

One that could be broken but it will be difficult and I would love to watch the player that is capable of doing it is

Bothams record of taking 21 tests to be the fastest to 1000 runs and take 100 wickets in tests.

EDITED- to avoid confusion

First Test Match.
First Test Century.
First Test Wicket.

etc.

Murali already has 432. I think he can take another 70-80?

 

[nightprowler10]

Despite the never-ending flat tracks and Australia's 20+ tests next year, I don't think anybody will be able to overtake Yousuf's record of most runs in a calendar year anytime soon.

I thought of him but wasn't he talking about retiring from ODIs after the WC or soon after it?

 

[Goughy]

By my rough recogning Murali would pass it if he plays for 2-3 more yrs

Does it have to be in the beginning of a career? Otherwise, I could see someone doing it.

 

[silentstriker]

Actually, unless Goughy means 'to start a career', it has already been done.

Like I said in my previous post though, he might not be playing much longer after the WC. Maybe someone can correct me/back me up here.

those type of record are too specific...i was looking for something rather more simple...people dont nessecarily aim for 1000 runs and wicket in 20 matches...those just happen...

i am talking about highest scores or highest wickets....things generally aimed at

I think witht he level of ODI's being played akram's record will be broken

But bradman's avg
Afridi' fastest hundred
are just beyond anyone on the scne right now

I'm pretty sure he meant beginning of a career.

First time - and hopefully the last - I see Afridi and Bradman's achievements compared in any way.
