Which batting record is the toughest to beat?

[Ranjha]

One record should be compared to other..Grouping of records is not fair in my opinion.

[King Tendulkar]

Bradmans will never be broken. As no batsman will have the opportunity to play only 1 barely competitive team throughout his whole carreer and only tour one barley competitive team only! Also need to play in amateaur era of uncometitive cricket as well! Just like Lohmanns test average will never be broken in test bowling!

[99.94]

why cant someone average 100 over 50 tests?

Because it's incredibly fkn hard? Not saying it CAN'T happen - but rather that it WON'T.

[99.94]

i seriously cant understand what u r trying to say without knowing yourself he has been consistent throught out.. dont just throw in some english by using awesome and good :headshake:

and let us take australia, how many have survived in the team for more than 5 years since 2000?? u better take a break and go through everything once again :hatsoff:

Okay I can't make much sense of what you're saying.. but yes, consistent, but not amazing throughout. They're called adjectives - descriptive words. Off the top of my head: Warne McGrath Ponting Langer Hayden Gilchrist Martyn Lee All played from at least 2002 til 2007.

[b555]

all of them joined the team before 2000 dude name few who ahev joined into the team in the year 2000 or after and stayed in the aussie team?

Katich Hussey Clarke Pretty ridiculous question man, considering only 11 players debuted between 2000 and 2005.

[Lord]

Because it's incredibly fkn hard? Not saying it CAN'T happen - but rather that it WON'T.

ofcourse its hard,but its not harder than having 5 meaningful batting records.Bradman's record can be broken.all it requires is a freak player n a spate of not outs:--D

[99.94]

ofcourse its hard' date='but its not harder than having 5 meaningful batting records.Bradman's record can be broken.all it requires is a freak player n a spate of not outs:--D[/quote'] Yeah I mean how freaking hard can it be to average nearly a hundred over 54 tests? It can't be as easy as you make it out to be, considering no one has even gotten close to it in over 100 years.. (by the way, Bradman has more than 5 meaningful records as well). Highest average Most runs in a day Most double centuries Most runs in a series Fastest player to reach 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 Test runs. All it takes from to beat Tendulkar's is consistency and longevity. Players like Ponting and Lara have both come close to beating his records, whereas NO ONE has come close to the Don's.

lol most runs in a series?most runs in a day?are they meaningful?most runs in a day is wrong.they had 110 overs then.if we hc 110 overs now,it'll be beaten quit easily n who has come to Tendulkar's runs in 100s in ODIs?as i said different players may break different records,but its next to impossible for one man to break all his records

Rofl, I can assure you if Tendulkar held them you'd think they were meaningful. Does Don Bradman hold the record for the most runs in a day? Oh yes he does. Yeah righto, continue to think that, but even the majority of an Indian forum don't let patriotism (or a love affair with S. Tendulkar) cloud their judgement.

[King Tendulkar]

Most runs against one opponent: 5,028 (v England) .

Well that was a given:cantstop: 72% of his runs came against one team. He did not manage to get 1000 runs against any other team apart from England.

[99.94]

Well that was a given:cantstop: 72% of his runs came against one team. He did not manage to get 1000 runs against any other team apart from England.

Yeah but he averaged 178 against India, 201 against South Africa and 74 against the West Indies.

That 2 triple 100 record of DGB and triple in a day used to be DGB's some of the spectacular records till Sehwag broke them Facing infinitely better bowlers such as Steyn' date=' Morkel, Ntini, Kallis, Shoaib, Saqlain and Harris and reminded what might have happened to the piddly trundlers that used to operate back in the days of DGB. The only way he would have gotten out was through sheer boredem. Its all good to point out DGB's records but perspective is a different thing.[/quote'] Sehwag didnt break Bradman's (300 in a day) record, but he sure would have if he had got more overs. If i remember correctly sri lanka had batted a few overs on that day, and also we dont play 100+ overs a day anymore now do we?
