Unbreakable Records In ODI-Cricket

Nah fairly certain playing lesser nations will see some stupid records being broken. Binny took 6/8 for example against Bangladesh. Just needed the others to take a few less and he'd have done better than Vaas.
Just highlighting this in case it gets missed

I would say all batting ones are open to be beaten, the bowling one of Vaas will probably stay forever though as those are ridiculous figures.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, with the number of ODI going down steadily - SRT's number of runs seems pretty safe for now.

Not an ODI, but on the wider issue of List A records Brian Langford's 8-8-0-0 can never be bettered, and will surely never be approached

Virat needs to double what he has done so far.
Never realise the magnitude of Sachin's 18k ODI runs.You have Kohli who is breaking all sorts of records, and average 10 more runs per innings than Sachin, still is halfway through of Sachin's tally.

Phil Simmons E/R record of 0.30 from 10 overs will not be broken for a very long, long time.

As has been mentioned earlier in the thread I don't think any batting records are "safe" bar maybe Sachins run tally.

Seems teams are approaching one day cricket in the same fashion as T20's so team scores over 500 and even tripple hundreds are very much a realistic possibilty.

Dilip Doshi approached it with figures of 8-7-1-1, but even that was 40 years ago.
Pat Pocock may have the record for "most maidens bowled in a List A game" - he once had figures of 12-10-9-3 - and that's not going to be broken any time soon.

Murali ODI wicket record. Because now most of ATG bowlers take rest from meaningless bilateral ODI series.

Looking over some world cup records:

Tendulkar's 2278 World Cup runs looks like it'll take some beating.
As does Pontings 28 catches by a non-keeper (next best - 18).
It's hard to see anyone breaking McGrath's 71 world cup wickets any time soon either.
Roberts' 3.24 economy rate is almost certainly going to never be bested given the changed circumstances in ODI cricket.

However,
Starc could better McGrath's 18.19 bowling average if he hits form by the next world cup.

I remember watching that match; Simmons was bowling line-and-length mediums; it wasn't like it was swinging or seaming around iirc. Pakistan took 48 overs to score 81 that innings; doubt we'll ever see any side bat that many overs for as few runs again.

Keith Arthurton's batting average of 0.4 in 1996 would surely have to be the lowest from 5 completed ODI innings; if so can't see anyone beating that.
