Longest ODI career

[Holysmoke]

1. Tendulkar 20 years, 274 days 2. Miandad 20 years 272 days Ofcourse, its not even a comparison in terms of games played. Jayasuriya is the only other player to have crossed 20 years. But I dont know if he's ever gonna play ODIs again for SL.

Jaya has played almost the same amount of ODIs as Tendulkar. Other than that both Wasi akram and Aravinda de Silva have played up to 19 years of ODI cricket

Afridi had been in his 20's atleast for 15 years until he decided to declare himself to be in 30"s :haha:

No one will 1) Tendulkar Talent 2) Opener 3) Span of 20 years 4) Fitness 5) Picked in Squad ( He played in Dead Rubbers too ) 6) The format of 50 over being played over a long period of time Sachin has secured/sealed his ODI run record forever

Good point that. Our team was so dependent on him that they had to play him even for dead rubbers or useless matches against Bangladesh,Kenya etc.

Miandad's record shouldnt really count for much. He was essentially brought back from the wilderness to play just the 96 world cup. Sachin has been playing active cricket right throughout.
