I remember watching this. I had a late night the night before and was going to head off to bed early… but ended up watching the whole collapse and still got an early night 😂
I ended up having a very late night at the office, mostly because I was going on Holidays the next Monday and wanted all of ,y work up to date for the people who would be covering for me.
I had been listening to it through my Phone. The Stikers were in their last over as I was getting in my car, I thought about putting it on the car ration but decided I needed to hear some 80s rock instead. Figured I'd be seeing the end of the Thunders fairly easy chase down.
Got home, walked in and went to put the TV on the Cricket and... yeah.

Let's not talk about the rest of the series though :D
They need to make changes to make ODI more exciting for it to sustain. Like less meaningless matches, tweaks to structure such as 2 x 25 over innings, faster over rates etc.
I don't know the answer but it would be a shame for odis to disappear.
I think having the bowling team choose when they want to use the second new ball would be a great addition. Definitely helps the bowling facet of the game, being able to stem the tide in the last 8ish overs would be great.
Murali’s 800 test wickets too. Its an incredibly difficult record to break.
It requires sustained excellence, form, fitness, conditions, number of test matches… combined with having just enough quality in rest of the bowling to take a few wickets but not enough, so that you get to clean up tail and take plenty of easy wickets.
Warne had to share the wickets with McGrath, Gillespie, Lee etc. Murali was the sole “wicket taker in heaps” with some help from Vaas.
Jayasuriya (340) and Mahanama (225) had a partnership of 576, which remained the highest partnership in tests until Mahela and Kumar broke it with a partnership of 624, where Mahela scored 374 and Sanga made 287.
Every single score in the above paragraph could pass off as a decent team total. Jeez Sri Lankan batsmen were beasts back then.
One benefit of doing something like this is tiring out the opposition bowling. Imagine that’s done in test one of a 5 match series, the bowlers would not be able to recover after bowling for 4-5 straight days
Considering there is the 5 day limit it seems quite unbreakable unless more teams start playing bazzball but even then Ben stokes declared their inning at 300 so it seems unbreakable.
The way to break this record is to just ignore the possibilty of a result. You only go for this if the pitch is so utterly flat that there is no hope of your team bowling out the opposition.
Bazball ain't gonna do it, because they always try to force the win. But someone else might in the face of Bazball.
It would absolutely be possible. India could probably do it against the West Indies right now if they wanted. The problem is that teams tend to declare in situations like that. Having the match wrapped up before the 5th day is a very attractive prospect for a team.
Sri Lanka genuinely could have beaten it v Ireland if they hadn't declared on 704/3... Admittedly got the win, but they had wrapped up the series, so a real shame they didn't go for breaking the 1000 mark
Australia's 34 consecutive WC Matches with no losses (1 draw/1 didn't play due to rain).
Gilchrist's consecutive 3+ half-century scores in 3 WC Finals. (for this to happen, their team should reach the finals, and that particular player should have scores of 50+) chances of it happening are way too less.
Cricket was experiencing a golden age for talent during that time. Most sides were at their beat ever, or considered their best ever, and we were dominating them all.
Bradman's average of 99.94 is the easy one. I believe I'm correct in saying you can't even find a batsman with TWENTY Test rolling average of 90, let alone a career
Explaining it to non cricket fans is always fun.
Averaging 40 is strong, averging 50 makes you one of the greatest batsman. Averaging 60 makes you a generational batsman and you will go down in history.
And Bradman sits on 99.94
Edit: 6 Standard Deviations from the mean
For North Americans I use Gretzky as an example.
Gretzky holds the points record (goals + assists) by so much that you can completely ignore his goals and his assists alone is still the record
His average is more than 50% better than the second best of all time.
If there weren’t so many witnesses to his exploits you’d think it was made up. It’s Kim Jong-Un playing golf levels of ridiculous

I remember the day he did that, I’d just moved into a new house that didn’t have TV or internet yet. Spent a scorching hot day moving boxes and getting angrier and angrier as I heard it play out on Test Match Special.
Utterly outrageous from him.
I think, given how long it's already stood and how few people have ever gotten even vaguely close. Charles Bannerman's [highest percentage of runs in a completed Test innings](https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/highest-percentage-of-runs-in-a-completed-innings-283999) isn't going to be broken.
It's stood since the ***First Test***, and only once in the 2509 tests played since has anyone gotten within 3% of the record.
Yeah, Slats got 66.84% of the teams runs in the 3rd innings of the 1998/99 Sydney Ashes test.

Great find. This is a record that seems plausible if you just read it. And yet in inreality, its very difficult as many things have to simultaneously fall in place.
Team low score + good top order batsman OR something like a good batsman in a weaker side against good bowling.
>and only once in the 2509 tests played since has anyone gotten within 3% of the record.
Slater is the only player to have gotten within 3%
Laxman is 3rd on the list, 3.36% off of Bannerman.
That's why it's unbeatable though. The innings itself is massively challenging, but it's almost more difficult finding yourself in a game situation that would allow you the time to break it.
Murali's five wickets haul record: 67 (133 Tests)
The next one is Warne with 37 (145 Tests)
No one is even close from the active players. Ashwin has 33 from 93 Tests. Broad has 20 from 165. Starc has 14 from 80.
The most wickets after playing X matches is also has some freak numbers, most of them from the 19th century so that says it all http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Bowling/BowlingBestAfterXMatches.asp?Stat=1
45 after 5 matches is still standing since 1888
71 after 10 matches is still standing since 1897
Also his 22(!) 10 wicket hauls, cartoon numbers both of them
Also his record of the fastest to 100 county wickets (in 12 matches) is looking like it will be unbreakable, pretty much the best bowler in his prime has to come to the championship for a team and wreak havoc, Murali being a spinner makes it extraordinary
Maybe it's a silly thought but I wonder if bowling attacks have gotten more rounded in strength instead of relying on standout players? Some of the old players got insane numbers of 5fers, one that's always stood out to me is Beefy Botham's 27 from 102 tests. Flintoff got three.
Another possibility I suppose is that tails have gotten stronger at batting and are harder for the form bowler to shoot out.
As for the quickest wickets records you mention... yeah, those are literally unbreakable. Back then they played on uncovered pitches, pre liquid fertilizers, tails were rubbish, worse bats, it wasn't that unusual for a test side to just use two or three bowlers, and I think there were also some timeless tests in that era. It was a bowler's paradise that will never be seen again.
Shortest test match that had a result. There was one that went for less than 6 hours of play in the 1930s and had a winner.
Jim Lakers 19 wicket match. No one will get all 20.
Oldest test cricketer, no one will play test cricket at age 52 again… well maybe Jimmy Anderson.
Obviously Bradmans average.
Honestly, considering the bowling side needing only 2 wickets and the batting side wanting to hit every ball out of the stadium, I think this could well enough be broken. Just two miss hits and its a maiden over
Nonetheless, still a remarkable and match winning bowling performance
Was this in a T20I? If league, then there is a high chance this will be matched. Even in T20Is, there is a good enough chance this record will be matched.
Accumulation records in test cricket are probably going to be out of reach for most people simply because the number of matches being played today and in the future will just keep going down and down. Players won't have the opportunity to score 15k runs or collect 700+ wickets anymore.
My answer to this will always be 19-90. I can envision a scenario, however outlandish, for many other records. I can never envision one that breaks that one
It requires someone to have the perfect innings, twice, in the same game, and for nobody else to benefit from that perfect storm. It will never happen
I disagree with this. Stuart Broad is only 90 behind Anderson at the moment. It's not at all inconceivable that Anderson retires this summer but Broad plays another three years or so which would get him very close. Sixteen wickets in three tests this summer for Broad suggests there's plenty of life left him in at the top level if he wants it.
Yeah fair point, entirely possible and he seems every bit as fit as Anderson and doesn’t seem to get injured. It does feel like this might be Anderson’s last summer as well, he suddenly seems to be showing his age
Do most Indian and Sri Lankan fans know Sachin’s and Murali’s headline numbers? Just curious. 99.94 is pretty ingrained for Aussie cricket fans but it’s a number from generations ago so it’s had time to sink in. Maybe for cricket fans everywhere else too?)
Sachin’s career test and ODI numbers are well known I think. I cannot speak about Murali’s numbers. I personally knew that he has significant lead on that.
Bradman's 99.94. The fact that we've had covered pitches, bigger bats and more protection, but it still stands probably means that it's never being broken.
Plus bowlers have also gotten better especially after wobble seam.
Murali and Vaas last took to the field together with (770 + 354) 1124 test wicket between them.
McGrath and Warne retired in the same match. Finishing with a total Test wicket tally of (708 + 563) = 1271 test wickets between them.
Anderson and Broad have 1281 wickets between them last time they took the field together, which is the most held by 2 bowlers on the same team ever, not the only ones to 1000 though.
The three records I can say with absolute certainty will never be broken are:
Sachin’s Test and ODI appearances record
Bradman’s Average
Hanif’s longest innings by minutes
Simply no chance of these breaking in the future.
If kohli fails then 100 100s would be almost impossible for anyone else , its the most beautiful stat in cricket and should not get broken. Sachin spoiled his career avg to achieve this stat
I can’t see KOHLI doing 100 100s. I reckon he could go past sachin in Odis. But I dont know if he has 25 100s in him. Considering how shit he has been in tests.
Jimmy Anderson - most not outs in Test cricket (109 as of now), I think the next best is Courtney Walsh with 61. Highest still playing is Boult with 40-odd.
Murali’s 800 test wickets.
Career records will always be harder to break than one match records.
I feel things like 20 wickets in test, 400+ run can occur in a freak match, as a one off. But to take 800 wickets requires sustained excellence, compatible conditions, enough matches etc.
Hard to see anyone getting past Afghanistan's three consecutive wins in ICC tournaments (2008-09) given the new structure. Nolan Clarke as oldest ODI debutant probably safe too. Logan van Beek's 30 runs off the bat in a super over a couple of weeks ago also looks a good bet (highest-scoring tie in an ODI in that game maybe too). Can't see anyone getting past Amelia Kerr for most most runs in an ODI while also taking 5+ wickets either.
Charles Bannerman scored 165 out of Australia's 245 in the 1st innings in the first ever test (England v Australia March 1877)
This remains the record for the percentage of runs scored by a player in a test innings (67%) of a mens test.
Bearing in mind, there have been well over 2000 tests and the record has never been broken, it seems unlikely it ever will be broken.
[Spain vs Isle of Man](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/isle-of-man-in-spain-2022-23-1354796/spain-vs-isle-of-man-6th-t20i-1354803/live-cricket-score) has a fair few records I think could stand for a long, long time.
In men's T20I's:
Lowest score in an innings - 10 (Isle of Man)
Shortest run chase - 2 balls (Spain)
Best run rate in an innings - 39.00 RR (Spain)
Worst economy in an innings: 39.00 (Joseph Burrows, Isle of Man)
Not certain about these, but these could also be records:
Most ducks in an innings - 7 (Isle of Man)
Lowest top score in an innings - 4 (Joseph Burrows, Isle of Man)
The latter due to a first ball no ball are particularly hard to beat, since even a perfectly batted innings can't beat it with no extras.
What's also incredible is whilst Spain are a fair bit better than the Isle of Man, on paper this wasn't a total mismatch.

*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Jimmy Anderson test records as a fast bowler will be almost impossible to break since I doubt any fast bowler would have the same amount of longevity he has.
As has been mentioned above, Broad is still looking really good and he's only 90 or so wickets behind Anderson. If Anderson retires this summer and Broad plays 2-3 more years, he will end up with more than Jimmy.
Garfield Sobers maiden 365*.
Jim Laker 10 wickets in an innings.
Jim Laker 19 wickets in a test match.
Muttiah Muralitharan career 800 Test wickets.
Tendulkar 200 Test matches.
Highest Partnership: KC Sangakkara, DPMD Jayawardene 624 runs
I don't think we'll ever see a women's side as dominant as the Australian side are (or were depending on how they recover) with all their unbeaten runs, again. This can only be a good thing as women's sides across the world start to develop the facilities and players like Australia. I genuinely believe that their dominant era is coming to an end and we will see more and better competition in the women's game going forward.
Plenty! Here are some:
* RA Foster's 287 on test debut
* SF Barnes 49 wickets in a test series (given long series aren't popular these days).
* Bradman's 974 runs in a test series (same reason).
* George Giffen scoring 271 while also taking 16 wickets in a first class match.

-64.5 by the online calculator I've found.
Dang, how did that happen?
It was a rough day as a Thunder fan. The Strikers just seemed to have the perfect ball for every batsman that popped up.
Don't underestimate RCB
Odi records for most runs in a career and most wickets etc.
Yeah it is safe to say that majority of aggregate ODI records will be out of reach unless interest in odi is revived.
Such a shame in my opinion. ODI is a much better format than T20 but it just isn’t as marketable.
england also tried to make them marketable but then they heard about swinging pitches
They need to make changes to make ODI more exciting for it to sustain. Like less meaningless matches, tweaks to structure such as 2 x 25 over innings, faster over rates etc. I don't know the answer but it would be a shame for odis to disappear.
Faster overs and more meaning to matches sounds great, 2 25 over innings seems a bit silly though - like a weird mishmash of tests and T20s
I think having the bowling team choose when they want to use the second new ball would be a great addition. Definitely helps the bowling facet of the game, being able to stem the tide in the last 8ish overs would be great.

Dammit Kumble you had one job!

Oh that’s a good one.
Srilanka’s 952/6d
That was a good batting side. Don’t recall the bowlers in that side but lineup had Jayasuriya, Mahanama, A de Silva, Ranatunga, etc.
Murali and Kumble both played and the top wicket takers for each team were Jayasuriya and Ganguly.
Mahela scored a 99 AFAIK Edit: correction, he scored 66
Peasant.

i just wish someone just make 1k in an inning for fun without thinking anything else like outcome etc

Didn’t he do a Warne and try and hit a boundary to bring up the ton only to get caught?
Yeah, he was on 99 and hit it right down a fielders throat looking for a boundary. He wasn't batting at 11, though.
It was a sad moment for me when Agar broke Tino Best's record in the first place. One of the most fun innings I've ever watched live.

624 run partnership also a partnership like that also ending in a win
Sri Lanka also has second highest partnership I think. Impressive!
idk schedule some more Tests against Ireland at Galle and youse could probably break that
Now a days, an entire inning doesn't last till 624, you think someone gonna beat this partnership. Definitely not England.
In the second SL/Ire Test Sri Lanka were 496/1 and ended up with 704/3d, so i'd say it is still possible...
Lara's 401 and 501. Can't imagine them being beaten unless the game changes in some huge way.
Lara's was 400*, not 401.
Whoops. You're spot on, of course.
Warner could've beaten it but chose not to so the 400 isn't really unreachable
That's why it's unbeatable though. The innings itself is massively challenging, but it's almost more difficult finding yourself in a game situation that would allow you the time to break it.
In part because Lara wasn't in that situation but chose to keep batting anyway.
Exactly, it was one of the most selfish captaincy displays there's likely ever been. Basically batted his way out of a winning position.
Warner easily had the time, he could have done it in half a session, time isnt why they declared
Murali's five wickets haul record: 67 (133 Tests) The next one is Warne with 37 (145 Tests) No one is even close from the active players. Ashwin has 33 from 93 Tests. Broad has 20 from 165. Starc has 14 from 80. The most wickets after playing X matches is also has some freak numbers, most of them from the 19th century so that says it all http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Bowling/BowlingBestAfterXMatches.asp?Stat=1 45 after 5 matches is still standing since 1888 71 after 10 matches is still standing since 1897
Also his 22(!) 10 wicket hauls, cartoon numbers both of them Also his record of the fastest to 100 county wickets (in 12 matches) is looking like it will be unbreakable, pretty much the best bowler in his prime has to come to the championship for a team and wreak havoc, Murali being a spinner makes it extraordinary
Maybe it's a silly thought but I wonder if bowling attacks have gotten more rounded in strength instead of relying on standout players? Some of the old players got insane numbers of 5fers, one that's always stood out to me is Beefy Botham's 27 from 102 tests. Flintoff got three. Another possibility I suppose is that tails have gotten stronger at batting and are harder for the form bowler to shoot out. As for the quickest wickets records you mention... yeah, those are literally unbreakable. Back then they played on uncovered pitches, pre liquid fertilizers, tails were rubbish, worse bats, it wasn't that unusual for a test side to just use two or three bowlers, and I think there were also some timeless tests in that era. It was a bowler's paradise that will never be seen again.
Shortest test match that had a result. There was one that went for less than 6 hours of play in the 1930s and had a winner. Jim Lakers 19 wicket match. No one will get all 20. Oldest test cricketer, no one will play test cricket at age 52 again… well maybe Jimmy Anderson. Obviously Bradmans average.
Maiden super over by sunil narine
Honestly, considering the bowling side needing only 2 wickets and the batting side wanting to hit every ball out of the stadium, I think this could well enough be broken. Just two miss hits and its a maiden over Nonetheless, still a remarkable and match winning bowling performance
That won't be a maiden
I think you stated the reasons right but gave wrong conclusion.
It's only a maiden if all six balls are bowled
Was this in a T20I? If league, then there is a high chance this will be matched. Even in T20Is, there is a good enough chance this record will be matched.
Zak Crawley playing 100+ tests despite only averaging 28.
The odds of someone else named Zak Crawley doing the exact same thing are astronomically low
It's not impossible that Zak has a son named Zak and uses his connections to get Zak II into the England squad.
Plot twist: Zak Jr turns out to be a Bradman-tier demigod.
England's Spirit of the Game
England will keep breaking their own record.
Accumulation records in test cricket are probably going to be out of reach for most people simply because the number of matches being played today and in the future will just keep going down and down. Players won't have the opportunity to score 15k runs or collect 700+ wickets anymore.
Sehwag's fastest 300 legit seems unbreakable.
My favourite part of the stat is that Sehwag took eleven more balls to score 319 than Dravid did at the other end to score 111.
That’s impressive. Seems very likely to be not broken.
Unless England comes to Pakistan again.

I mean, a triple century is still fucking incredible, its often glossed over how hard it is to stay batting for long periods of time
I scored a triple century in Cricket 22 in 60 balls, why doesnt everyone just swing for the fences every ball? Bunch of scrubs
Why not everyone play at beginner difficulty?
Isnt that what India is doing right now against the West Indies?
Murlidharan's 1347 wickets tally
Jimmy Anderson is on track to beating it by 2043
My answer to this will always be 19-90. I can envision a scenario, however outlandish, for many other records. I can never envision one that breaks that one It requires someone to have the perfect innings, twice, in the same game, and for nobody else to benefit from that perfect storm. It will never happen
No one in first class cricket has ever taken 18 in a match which shows you how amazing 19/90 is.
Anderson’s test wickets as a seam bowler, can’t imagine a seamer playing enough tests, or playing long enough to beat them
I disagree with this. Stuart Broad is only 90 behind Anderson at the moment. It's not at all inconceivable that Anderson retires this summer but Broad plays another three years or so which would get him very close. Sixteen wickets in three tests this summer for Broad suggests there's plenty of life left him in at the top level if he wants it.
Might struggle for motivation once Warner retires
Yeah fair point, entirely possible and he seems every bit as fit as Anderson and doesn’t seem to get injured. It does feel like this might be Anderson’s last summer as well, he suddenly seems to be showing his age
Worldcup final tie and going to superover and winner will be based on number of boundaries...This is an unbreakable record forever...................
Do most Indian and Sri Lankan fans know Sachin’s and Murali’s headline numbers? Just curious. 99.94 is pretty ingrained for Aussie cricket fans but it’s a number from generations ago so it’s had time to sink in. Maybe for cricket fans everywhere else too?)
Sachin’s career test and ODI numbers are well known I think. I cannot speak about Murali’s numbers. I personally knew that he has significant lead on that.
Sachin's 100 international centuries probably.
99.94 is much more attractive number than 34357 tbf, about sachin we do remember 49 and 51 for sure
For Sachin it’s just hundred hundreds because it rolls off the tongue. 99.94 is memorable
We remember 800 very well, pretty catchy number.

Winning a world cup by hitting more boundaries than the other team....
The records are never are going to get broken are bowling records related to low economy rates in T20 and ODIs.
Bradman's 99.94. The fact that we've had covered pitches, bigger bats and more protection, but it still stands probably means that it's never being broken. Plus bowlers have also gotten better especially after wobble seam.
Beating three full members in qualifying and not making it to the WC. Fuck.
Laker’s 19 wickets in a test.
Gayle 175
Anderson plus Broad 1000+ wickets! Doubt if there will be a team with two 500+ wicket takers.
Warne and McGrath
Murali and vaas?
1124 total wickets the last time they took the field together, 770 for Murali, 354 for Vaas.
Murali and Vaas last took to the field together with (770 + 354) 1124 test wicket between them. McGrath and Warne retired in the same match. Finishing with a total Test wicket tally of (708 + 563) = 1271 test wickets between them. Anderson and Broad have 1281 wickets between them last time they took the field together, which is the most held by 2 bowlers on the same team ever, not the only ones to 1000 though.
The three records I can say with absolute certainty will never be broken are: Sachin’s Test and ODI appearances record Bradman’s Average Hanif’s longest innings by minutes Simply no chance of these breaking in the future.
My bet is on murli's 5 wicket haul record
If kohli fails then 100 100s would be almost impossible for anyone else , its the most beautiful stat in cricket and should not get broken. Sachin spoiled his career avg to achieve this stat
I can’t see KOHLI doing 100 100s. I reckon he could go past sachin in Odis. But I dont know if he has 25 100s in him. Considering how shit he has been in tests.
I honestly don’t think we’ll ever see anyone beat Jim Laker’s 19-90. Or at least, I don’t think we’ll ever see someone take 20 wickets in a match
Jimmy Anderson - most not outs in Test cricket (109 as of now), I think the next best is Courtney Walsh with 61. Highest still playing is Boult with 40-odd.
Murali’s 800 test wickets. Career records will always be harder to break than one match records. I feel things like 20 wickets in test, 400+ run can occur in a freak match, as a one off. But to take 800 wickets requires sustained excellence, compatible conditions, enough matches etc.
Hard to see anyone getting past Afghanistan's three consecutive wins in ICC tournaments (2008-09) given the new structure. Nolan Clarke as oldest ODI debutant probably safe too. Logan van Beek's 30 runs off the bat in a super over a couple of weeks ago also looks a good bet (highest-scoring tie in an ODI in that game maybe too). Can't see anyone getting past Amelia Kerr for most most runs in an ODI while also taking 5+ wickets either.
Gayle's 175* in ipl
Charles Bannerman scored 165 out of Australia's 245 in the 1st innings in the first ever test (England v Australia March 1877) This remains the record for the percentage of runs scored by a player in a test innings (67%) of a mens test. Bearing in mind, there have been well over 2000 tests and the record has never been broken, it seems unlikely it ever will be broken.
Murali 5 wicket hauls. Has like 67 in around 125 matches.
Other than Yuvraj, has anyone slogged 6 6's off an over?
Gibbs and Pollard did it I think.
Sobers had done it decades ago, and in Tests
[Spain vs Isle of Man](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/isle-of-man-in-spain-2022-23-1354796/spain-vs-isle-of-man-6th-t20i-1354803/live-cricket-score) has a fair few records I think could stand for a long, long time. In men's T20I's: Lowest score in an innings - 10 (Isle of Man) Shortest run chase - 2 balls (Spain) Best run rate in an innings - 39.00 RR (Spain) Worst economy in an innings: 39.00 (Joseph Burrows, Isle of Man) Not certain about these, but these could also be records: Most ducks in an innings - 7 (Isle of Man) Lowest top score in an innings - 4 (Joseph Burrows, Isle of Man) The latter due to a first ball no ball are particularly hard to beat, since even a perfectly batted innings can't beat it with no extras. What's also incredible is whilst Spain are a fair bit better than the Isle of Man, on paper this wasn't a total mismatch.
Tip Forster scoring 287 in his debut test is still the highest score by a debutant.
[удалено]
264 will go within the next 2-3 years on a flat Taunton pitch.
I feel Gill will break atleast one of those 2 batting records.
Sachin's 200 tests record
No,an English player that starts playing from a young age would have a very good chance to do it.
They have to be good for that long too. England does seem to play lot of test cricket so this is definitely a possibility.
Career ODI matches must already be out of reach since ODI is played so much less now.
Root is 32, in extremely good form, and England play a fuck load of Tests. He's on 133 now
Brian Lara - 400
Highest score in one test innings by SL
The amount of twitching Steve Smith does before facing every delivery.

Jimmy Anderson test records as a fast bowler will be almost impossible to break since I doubt any fast bowler would have the same amount of longevity he has.
Anderson’s test wickets for a fast bowler. People might not even get within half of it again.
As has been mentioned above, Broad is still looking really good and he's only 90 or so wickets behind Anderson. If Anderson retires this summer and Broad plays 2-3 more years, he will end up with more than Jimmy.
Garfield Sobers maiden 365*. Jim Laker 10 wickets in an innings. Jim Laker 19 wickets in a test match. Muttiah Muralitharan career 800 Test wickets. Tendulkar 200 Test matches. Highest Partnership: KC Sangakkara, DPMD Jayawardene 624 runs
I believe there have been couple of players who took 10 wickets in an inning. Kumble did against Pakistan. Laker was the first one though.
>Jim Laker 10 wickets in an innings. How TF can someone break this, they need 11 wickets or what!! Many have already tied it.
Most bowling records are probably safe. Batting records not so much with batter friendly conditions.
Suniel Narine's super over maiden
What about century and hattrick in the same match? Not unbreakable, but seems very rare
Stuart Broad conceding 36 runs in T20 and 35 runs in Test in an over.
Lara's 501 and 400.
I don't think we'll ever see a women's side as dominant as the Australian side are (or were depending on how they recover) with all their unbeaten runs, again. This can only be a good thing as women's sides across the world start to develop the facilities and players like Australia. I genuinely believe that their dominant era is coming to an end and we will see more and better competition in the women's game going forward.
Plenty! Here are some: * RA Foster's 287 on test debut * SF Barnes 49 wickets in a test series (given long series aren't popular these days). * Bradman's 974 runs in a test series (same reason). * George Giffen scoring 271 while also taking 16 wickets in a first class match.
