Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 should be easy to do against minnows.
Roshanrocks Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 RoRo its not the 150 mark that we need to look at but the 175 mark .... it has remained almost just as rare as it was in the 90s if you take away the minnows. Even otherwise there is not much difference. If you set the mark to 185+ it gets even more thin. The point is that the last mile which starts somewhere around the 175-185 is the most difficult one to cross and it is usually because there is not much time left and/or that the batsmen just throw the bat around and it usually costs them their wkt. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;filter=advanced;orderby=batted_score;runsmin1=175;runsval1=runs;template=results;type=batting;view=innings thankx Bossbhai But if you look at the link you have been given, even though the 175 run mark has been touched or broken only 17 times in the entire ODI history of the game, it has been breached 6 times since august 2009. More n more batmen are scoring bigger n bigger and one of them might go on to touch the 200 mark. All the factors you have put up are absolutely correct. But with the 175 mark being breached more regularly one to guys who reach there will surely go on to reach 200. The day is not far away :om:
Bumper Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 With so many power plays and the proliferation of T20 it is just a matter of time before 200 is shot down. I agree with Boss that the last mile takes its toll, but given the no. of batsmen who get into the 160s these days (with 5 overs to spare) 200 is no longer a distant dream. Sooner or later some batsman will get over the hump. Once you get to 160s you are usually in the 45th over or so and with hardly 5 left, you need to throw the bat around. That is when batsmen lose it. If some one can get to the 160s by the 40th over, 200 should not be that difficult. Dilshan would be my pick to break the record. 400 in Test cricket however will remain unconquered for a long long time.
99.94 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised to see it broken in the next few weeks
ganeshran Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Sehwag is not 100% fit IMO, he was looking tired at the end of his innings against Bangladesh. Not sure he would be able to reach 200 in this world cup unless he gets to a even more explosive start which allows him to reach 175 in around 40 over mark. I personally wouldnt like the record to be broken against a minnow..
Ultimate_Game Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 At the moment I can see following players capable of scoring 200... 1. Sehwag 2. Gayle 3. McCullum (if he opens) 4. Jesse Ryder (if he opens) 5. Dilshan Surprizingly there are 2 kiwi players on my list but whoever has seen McCullum or Ryder open in odis know how destructive they can be. I think the key would be who can stary at the wicket for 50 overs.
Zero_Unit Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 You forgot Charles Coventry's 194 not out
Roshanrocks Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Andrew Strauss almost did it. If he was batting first he might well have. He scored 158 and was dismissed in 42.5 overs. He does one better than his recent 154
Roshanrocks Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Too fecking CLose Shane Watson 185* (96) , in only 20 overs Most brutal innings in ODI history. Period
CoverDrive Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 It is safe to conclude that in the present batting friendly environment it will happen sooner rather than later. It was very close today. someone like Shane Watson could easily bash one of the minnows. But one record will forever be unbroken - "first Man to score a double hundred :finger: "
Bradman99 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 It sounds ridiculous bvut Watson could of scored 300 the way he was batting today
putrevus Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 It sounds ridiculous bvut Watson could of scored 300 the way he was batting today He was lucky twice today he was dropped so don't assume that he would have scored 200 even if he was batting first today,
gult Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Sachin will break it before anybody does it.. He had scored a number of 150+ scores in recent past and I've no doubt he can better it in near future.
Bradman99 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 He was lucky twice today he was dropped so don't assume that he would have scored 200 even if he was batting first today' date='[/quote'] Anyone who scores such a high score is likely to have been dropped once or twice.
satyam1729 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Anyone who scores such a high score is likely to have been dropped once or twice. Neither Tendulkar nor Dhoni were dropped.
Stuge Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Who knows Tendulkar himself breaks it again . I remember him saying he wants to bat 50 overs once again .
Bradman99 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Neither Tendulkar nor Dhoni were dropped. Keyword = Likely.. Besides, the first one was a very very difficult chance. The second one definately should have been taken but that aint Wattos fault
Prakat Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 It's Watson's fault for not giving away 20 more runs when he was bowling. B->
