Never to be broken records.

[Burgey]

Can anyone see Bradman's record being broken? Almost 62 years (Someone can correct me here) since he finished playing the game and no batsmen, over a significant sample size, has come even close.

No.

Haha, one day cricket was just referred to as a traditional form of the game.

Well it has been around for 47 years this coming summer... which is quite a while now.

 

[Sir Alex]

Muthia Murlitharan's record is unlikrly to be broken.

 

[Dark Hunter]

It's not a record per se, but I remember when reading a few books about players aiming to reach 1000 runs before the end of May (IIRC). When was the last time that was achieved?

This was the first one I thought of when I looked at the thread. Maybe in the future it will be broken but I certainly can't see it happening any time soon.

T20 is making it look traditional. I absolutely hate T20.

 

[Vikas Bhatt]

I hat T20. I hate IPL. I hate Pawar. I hate thunderqunt Modi. I hate BCCI.

 

[Vikas Bhatt]

I also see ugly useless cricketers and flat track bullies like Rainas, Kohlis, Y. Pathans, Yuvrajs etc. 'demonstrating' their 'talent' in IPL [read: slogging on flat tracks]

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Raina and Yuvraj certainly aren't useless cricketers, and have demonstrated that much outside of the IPL too.

IIRC Trescothick this season was amongst the slowest in being the first to 1,000.

Graeme Hick did it in 1988

Perversely I think that thanks to T20 this might get done again - the more the ECB want to take up the middle of the season with T20 the more they have to banish the first class games to the front and back of the season - there's no reason why the counties shouldn't have six or possibly even seven first class matches by the end of May so 12/14 innings - its been done in 9 (by Bradman) and 10 (Hallows) and Hick took 11
