The most difficult records to break.

dravid - most matches in such a short time in 11 years played 111 tests and 319 one days :D

i am sure aussies will be similar to tht or more in tests... but ofcourse, in odis, indians are unmatchable...

Some other records that i am starting to remember -Vaas's 8/19 in ODIs - Wasim Akram's 4 hat tricks in international cricket(although Malcom Sami already has 2:giggle:) - ENG's innings and 579 runs win over AUS.

Good thread MP. Got to know a lot of records I never knew about. The insane records are 501*, 400, Afridi's fastest ODI 100, Anil Kumlbe and Jim Laker's 10 wickets in an inning.

I was about to mention Narendra. :regular_smile: One of my mottos in life is: Never say never. Anything's possible. For instance: Who would've thought it was possible for a bowler to debut in a Test match with 2 hauls of 8 wickets ? In 1972, Bob Massie did it. He took 8/84 & 8/53 in an Ashes Test at Lord's. 16/137. Who took the other 4 ? The great Dennis Lillee. Nearly 16 years later, not only did Narendra Hirwani repeat the performance, he bettered it by ONE RUN ! He took 8/61 & 8/75. 16/136. Incredibly, Massie just 'lost his swing' and played only 5 more Tests. Cricinfo: "And though Hirwani took 20 further wickets in his next three Test appearances, his fortunes changed when he left the spin-friendly surfaces of India. The magic never quite returned, and the arrival of Anil Kumble sentenced him largely to domestic cricket."

Walshe's 1/7 in ODI vs SL.... impossible to break.

it was 5/1. Ambrose and Sarfraz have both bowled a 7/1 spell, Sarfraz ended up with figures of 9 for 86.

[Gambit]

Conceding less than 3 runs in a completed 10 over spell in an ODI. Phil Simmons 10 overs 3 runs 4 wickets v Pak.

[Ram]

How Sunil Joshi's 5/6 against South Africa ? That seems a bit surreal now.

Chandrashekhars 9 ducks in a row against Australia is very hard to surpass though ajit agarkar did come close with 7 ..
