@SohailSiddiqui19613 ай бұрын
@@MikeAG333 Totally agree. Players had played in different eras when the rules and conditions were significantly different. No head gears, uncovered pitches, superior playing attire (level of protection and therefore player comfort and confidence), markedly different playing gears like balls, bats, thai pads etc., no DRS or/and umpire reviews and TV replays, RULES OF THE GAME, opponets (also an opponets physical and mental state ie., a bowler opening the bowling in the 1st innings vs a bowler opening in the 4th innings) and so on. Too many variables. Another fact to be considered is the performance of the team mates. For instance by the time Shane Warne comes into the attacksl the quicks would have already taken about 4/5 wicket where as when Murali comes into the attack probably only 1/2 wickets may have fallen. Similarly, if the top order scores heavily the middle order would have had very little chance to go big before a declaration is made. When two or more things to be compared every condition should be identical except one. For instance the weight of iron can be heavier than gold or plutoniam if gold is weighed on the moon and the plutonium in the space. There are too many variebles ie., completely different guages used, to compare performaces and records. So a meagre performance under difficult and unfavourable conditions can trump a brilliant performance under easy and favourable conditions. These records are just for the excitement of players and spectators and an attempt to push players' endurance.

@alaricgoldkuhl1552 ай бұрын
@@alaricgoldkuhl155 I contest this. In fact I'll say outright that it never happened. Bradman didn't hit sixes. He kept the ball on the ground in FC cricket and Tests. Therefore the maximum he could have scored off an 8 ball over whilst still retaining the strike for the start of the next over, is 7x4 +3 =31. Two overs of that gives you 62, leaving him needing to hit 38 off the last over....meaning a minimum of 2 sixes. Not possible for someone with a 2lb 2oz bat on a full sized ground who stated in his own book that he never hit the ball in the air on purpose. Perhaps if this episode happened it was in a club match or an exhibition match, not a first class match. If it had been in a first class game it would have easily held the record for the fastest FC century, and that was one record he never held.

Side note, after the Brisbane test in that series, he visited movie world on the Goldie. Im 5' 10 and he nearly ran into my chest. Hes a little bloke too. I wished him success of course.

George Lohmann only played 18 tests, his achievments may have been remarkable in so few a tests but the only way a modern bowler could beat his carreer average is to retire very young after a very brief but spectacular carreer. Noone who plays anywhere near a hundred tests could replicate his average. And average is simply a mathematical function of strike rate and economy so it's the only stat that matters, unless you value one of the other two over the other.

@bradmenpes8093 ай бұрын
Absolutely. By the time Shane Warne came into the attack for eg., in the 25th over the quicks have already removed half of the opponents. Where as when Murali comes into the attack after the 30th over perhaps only 2 or 3 wickets would have fallen. Obviously that gave Murali an advantage. Also, I always had this doubt. Murali was cleared of chucking from laboratory tests. That's not very convincing. He did not take the wickets in the labs but on the field. So how many of his wickets on the field were off chucking. Also Murali's controversy brought in a change in bowling laws to accommodate him. So there was something illegal of his bowling before the law was changed. So the wickets taken prior to the chagne in the laws should be counted or not?

Bradman's, Laker's and Lohmann's records will be the most difficult to break. Hutton's record (most balls faced) will also be difficult, since scoring is faster now, and over rates are much lower. The rest are attainable,
@briansykes28063 ай бұрын
I think they're all vanishingly unlikely apart from highest score, highest partnership and consecutive hundreds. Murali's records are close to unattainable especially if as seems likely less test cricket ends up being played than during his era at least by the majority of teams. You not only need a bowler of similar quality who gets to play as much, they also have to play in a team in which other bowlers take very few wickets. The Laker record is in a way more attainable than most of these as it can be done in one match and isn't really affected by changes over time to the way the game is approached, but it's just so freakish as to be virtually impossible.

Bradman best innings was when as captain he changed the batting order and seemed to have made a blunder when Australia was 7-30 Bradman came in at number 8 and scored 270 the highest score by a number 8 in Test Cricket history
Uuncovered pitches. It was a common tactic to put the bowlers in to bat when the pitch was at its worst, and then as it dried the batsmen could take advantage. Oh, and "Bradman's best innings"? Really? It's silly to try to rank innings, by anyone.
This is also impossible to achieve
@@MikeAG333 Totally agree. Players had played in different eras when the rules and conditions were significantly different. No head gears, uncovered pitches, superior playing attire (level of protection and therefore player comfort and confidence), markedly different playing gears like balls, bats, thai pads etc., no DRS or/and umpire reviews and TV replays, RULES OF THE GAME, opponets (also an opponets physical and mental state ie., a bowler opening the bowling in the 1st innings vs a bowler opening in the 4th innings) and so on. Too many variables. Another fact to be considered is the performance of the team mates. For instance by the time Shane Warne comes into the attacksl the quicks would have already taken about 4/5 wicket where as when Murali comes into the attack probably only 1/2 wickets may have fallen. Similarly, if the top order scores heavily the middle order would have had very little chance to go big before a declaration is made. When two or more things to be compared every condition should be identical except one. For instance the weight of iron can be heavier than gold or plutoniam if gold is weighed on the moon and the plutonium in the space. There are too many variebles ie., completely different guages used, to compare performaces and records. So a meagre performance under difficult and unfavourable conditions can trump a brilliant performance under easy and favourable conditions. These records are just for the excitement of players and spectators and an attempt to push players' endurance.
Bradman also has a record of scoring a century in 3 consecutive overs in a first class match which will also never be broken. They had 8 ball overs back then.
@@alaricgoldkuhl155 I contest this. In fact I'll say outright that it never happened. Bradman didn't hit sixes. He kept the ball on the ground in FC cricket and Tests. Therefore the maximum he could have scored off an 8 ball over whilst still retaining the strike for the start of the next over, is 7x4 +3 =31. Two overs of that gives you 62, leaving him needing to hit 38 off the last over....meaning a minimum of 2 sixes. Not possible for someone with a 2lb 2oz bat on a full sized ground who stated in his own book that he never hit the ball in the air on purpose. Perhaps if this episode happened it was in a club match or an exhibition match, not a first class match. If it had been in a first class game it would have easily held the record for the fastest FC century, and that was one record he never held.
Another record difficult to beat would be from the very first test match in 1877 and that is highest percentage of runs by a batsman in an overall total. This is held by Charles Bannerman who scored 165 out of the total of 245 (67.35%)
Another record was set in that match too. The oldest ever test debutant. James Southerton was 49 Years 119 days. Dare say that is one that will never be broken
This is the most amazing WR yet to be broken as by looking at it one might think it can easily be broken but no one has managed to surpass it for more than 145 years
Aiden Markram came close.
I think that Bannerman's effort is also still the record for an opening bat on debut.
Why overlooking Kapil Dev record of more than5000runs and more than 400test wickets
Bradman's record will never be broken. I remember reading somewhere that Bradman's record is so great he is 3 standard deviations statistically ahead of the nearest player's test average. The article stated that his record is unlikely to be broken statistically until at least 186,000 test players have played the game - in other words essentially forever.
Those record holders are the shining stars in this lovely game of test cricket... May this lovely art and skills game prevail forever in the name of humanity ... Dr Jayantha Pathirana
And Shane Warne was never "called" for throwing
A lot of Indian and Sri Lankan bowlers bowled most of the time on cricket pitches that produced a lot of spin. As for Brian Lara's 400 runs, it was made easier because the match was played on a very small ground.
The highest number of balls faced belongs to pakistans Hanif Mohammad during his 337 vs West Indies in January 1958. No records were kept but it said he faced 938 balls during his 16 hours 39 minute innings.
Thats interesting because I used to watch Geoffrey Boycott make his first 50 off 938 balls...Chris Tavare's first run used to take longer than that
I do recall Hanif batting for nearly 3 days.
Hanif batted after lunch on the third day and was out after tea on the sixth day which makes his effort quite a bit longer than three days. In fact it was three days plus one session of play.
When the question came up I immediately thought of Hanif's innings and was surprised not to see it on the list at all.
This looks likely because he batted for more time
I think its fair to say we'll never see another Captain's agrrement where both teams declare at 0/0 in the hope of getting a result like it was with Hanse Cronje's South Africa and Mike Atherton's England. A shame because it added some interest into an already dead rubber
I think the England captain was Nasser Hussain. This was later revealed to be based on a betting scam by Cronje if I remember correctly
Don Bradman had a batting average of over 100 going into his final match. He was bowled out for a duck and lost that average. He might have reclaimed it in the second innings had England not been bowled out for low scores in both innings. Bradman did not get to bat again.
Yep, how unfortunate for the Great Donald
He only needed 4 runs FFS. It's fitting in a way. Like nobody beats the game of cricket itself.

The big difference between Murali's statistical achievements and Warne's, is that the other bowlers in Murali's team were taking far less wickets at much higher averages. Warne had great bowlers like McGrath, Gillespie and others, all taking wickets - so his opportunities to take 5 in an inning were much more limited, compared to Murali.

Without a doubt Murali and Warnie are two of the best spinners of all time. But for the people who say Murali didn't have a good team mate to take wickets from the other end and it was difficult for Warne to take 5/10 wicket hauls due to other great bowlers he had in his team, This is the Bowls : Wicket, Ratio among them, Muralidharan - 55.04 : 1 Warne - 57.49 : 1

Too good.....currently this records look like unbeatable......knowing the fact....record are made to be broken....😅
Bradman also played in an era of sticky wickets, larger stumps and larger grounds. Todays grounds are roped off and boundaries are therfore easier to reach.
The bowlers couldn't scrutinize his technique on videos unlike now. Also, he only toured England.
His scores on sticky wickets were 18, 1, 14, 29, 25, 36, 13, 0, 0, 13.
Some other notable cricket records which may never be broken not included. 1) Mathew's of Australia claiming two hat tricks in same test, one in each innings in 1912 at old Trafford that too on same day against South Africa in triangle test series. 2) Maxwell going to bat when Australia were 87 for 6 against Afghanistan in 2023 WC and scoring 201 not out in succesful chase. 3) Shahid Afridi scoring 76 of 55 balls and then getting 7 for 12 in 9 overs against WI in same ODI in 2013 in WI must be the greatest ever all round performance in ODI.
Very good video 👍
I think Kallis has scored 5 consecutive hundreds. Also his record of 13k plus runs and more than 250 wickets will never be broken!
Interesting
Please make a video on unbbroken odi records.
You missed out on 952/6 That won't be broken ever
Dale Steyn's record of 2343 consecutive days as the no 1 test bowler, will also be very difficult to break. That's 624 days longer than second place Curtly Ambrose and 632 days longer than Murali in third place.
Murali was an amazing bowler and deserves to be on top of the wicket taker list, but Warne was a better bowler. Warne was always part of a bowling battery that also took wickets and were legendary like McGrath, Lee, Gillespie, Tim May, McGill, Hughes, McDermott plus many others. Murali had Vaas and later Melinga and they were pretty good, but Murali had less competition within and had to take the most wickets for SL to be competitive. Warne really put fear into batsman with his sheer presence. That's why Warne was inducted into the top 5 Wisden.
Highest batting partnership by 2 debutants : Khalid Ibadulla, Abdul Kadir 249 runs
You do realise Australia got caught on a "sticky" (uncovered pitches) when Jim Laker took his 19 wickets. That is why that record is unlikely to ever be equalled.
But Tony Lock at the other end only took 1 wicket. Could it have been something to do with footmarks?
Not correct. Australia were bowled out for 84 and were 53 for 1 at the close of day 2 before there was ANY rain. It rained heavily on days 3 and 4 when very little play was possible and the pitch was lifeless and gave spinners no help. It was only with the appearance of the hot sun on day five that the pitch became a sticky. So Laker only took eight of his nineteen wickets on a sticky.
Graham Gooch has scored the most runs in a single Test Match - at Lord's in 1990 he scored 333 and 123 (456 in total) against India.
Unique Video..,.. Worth knowing...
Murili has most wickets still hasn't he. When Shane made 700 wickets, it was against sri Lanka and murili was so close behind. I like warnie of course but I enjoyed watching this sri Lankan master. Side note, after the Brisbane test in that series, he visited movie world on the Goldie. Im 5' 10 and he nearly ran into my chest. Hes a little bloke too. I wished him success of course. Like GoT, good fortune in the wars to come moment. Really nice bloke.
Check out the difference betwen murili and warne in terms of test wickets against the real test teams ie Australia, windies, new Zealand, india , the pakis , and England and s africa . Warne has more test wickets than murilli against the real test teams ..murilli feasted on the scrub teams
@@iang8169 I've heard this argument before but if you play for any country, it counts. Don't forget, this series is where our cricket board picked on his action which was cleared. I used to bend my arm at a greater angle and I was a fast bowler . Warnie made 700 first. That should be enough
@damionnefelsch6546 well i go one step further. I add wsc super tests on to those players test stats , i don't care that they aremt official tests, they count for.me
@@iang8169 me 2 and I'm Aussie but I have always given respect to those who achieve. His is the best bowling action I've ever seen. Competing against Shane made them both the best dare I say ever will be. I met him too after the Brisbane test. Really really nice man. Really short too.
Murali is a chucker, they changed the rules to allow his chucking,,
Murali's records might stand until the next chucker passes muster.
Another record tough to break would be tBapu Nadkarni's bowling record of giving away only 2 runs in 29 overs, 27 being maiden overs in the 1964 test in Chennai( then Madras) against England..If my memory serves me right, 21/23 overs contnuous maiden
3 consecutive centuries in the first 3 matches of his career, Mohammed Azharuddin's record deserves a place here.
True..its possible to equal the record but to break it u have to score 4 centuries...which is rare with even the all time greats..here u r talking about a debutant..
George Lohmann only played 18 tests, his achievments may have been remarkable in so few a tests but the only way a modern bowler could beat his carreer average is to retire very young after a very brief but spectacular carreer. Noone who plays anywhere near a hundred tests could replicate his average. And average is simply a mathematical function of strike rate and economy so it's the only stat that matters, unless you value one of the other two over the other.
Jim Laker 19 wickets in a match. Most test runs and centuries.
If a white colour player has taken the 800 test wicket haul, he will be the number one of this list..Unfortunately Muttaih Muralidaran is a brown colour person..
England and Surrey batsman John Edrich if his Captain the pathetic Mike Smith hadn't declared the innings closed when Edrich was 310 not out ,His innings consisted of 52 * 4's and 5* 6's .He would without any doubt of scored 400 runs against New Zealand. Smith didn't think the Kiwi's good enough opposition to break the record .
Some of the subtitles, especially dealing with the names of players, are quire hilarious.
I'm from NZ and will always support the Windies. Win or lose, they rule.
My dad saw Len Hutton's innings and told me it was one of the most boring he had seen. Given the runs per ball that seems possible 🙂
Murali may or may not have been a chucker. What he defintely did not have was another all time great bowler in the same team taking loads of wickets
I totally agree. Murali had to take the wickets because no-one else in his team could. Then there's the number of games he played in sub-continental conditions but we'll just let that one pass through to the keeper.
Absolutely. By the time Shane Warne came into the attack for eg., in the 25th over the quicks have already removed half of the opponents. Where as when Murali comes into the attack after the 30th over perhaps only 2 or 3 wickets would have fallen. Obviously that gave Murali an advantage. Also, I always had this doubt. Murali was cleared of chucking from laboratory tests. That's not very convincing. He did not take the wickets in the labs but on the field. So how many of his wickets on the field were off chucking. Also Murali's controversy brought in a change in bowling laws to accommodate him. So there was something illegal of his bowling before the law was changed. So the wickets taken prior to the chagne in the laws should be counted or not?
Who would you rather have in your team? Unless you're Sri Lankan, everyone is choosing Warney!
How many more wickets would Warnie have taken if May, McGrath, Gillespie, Brett Lee weren't also taking bags. Murali 9nly had Vaas and he was overrated
Over 1000, I reckon. And Stuart McGill ...@@competitionglen
Bradman's, Laker's and Lohmann's records will be the most difficult to break. Hutton's record (most balls faced) will also be difficult, since scoring is faster now, and over rates are much lower. The rest are attainable,
I think they're all vanishingly unlikely apart from highest score, highest partnership and consecutive hundreds. Murali's records are close to unattainable especially if as seems likely less test cricket ends up being played than during his era at least by the majority of teams. You not only need a bowler of similar quality who gets to play as much, they also have to play in a team in which other bowlers take very few wickets. The Laker record is in a way more attainable than most of these as it can be done in one match and isn't really affected by changes over time to the way the game is approached, but it's just so freakish as to be virtually impossible.
@@ClydeMillerWynant Murali's record of 800 run outs will last forever.
Hutton doesn't hold that record, despite the claim. Hanif Mohammed batted for 16+ hours in one innings, and although the balls he faced weren't counted, it is certain that he faced more than Hutton.
Murali.. 🇱🇰 ❤
Bradman’s record will never be beaten. Simple as. Despite being an Englishman I feel sorry that he got that duck in his last innings. He needed four 😢. The Don. That is all.
Mohammed Azharuddin scored a century in the first three tests of his career.
I find it remarkable how many of these records have stood for over 50 years. Besides the highest runs in an innings (and most balls faced) highest partnership and most wickets. Everything else is in pre-ODI times. Must say something about how the game has evolved. You would think by now, the "modern game" many of those old timers would have been surpassed. You would think a Kohli/Smith/Root/Williamson would have 5 tons on the trot by now, and someone like a Dohni would have surpassed the stumpings record too. Interesting....
😊😮😮
Murali is no doubt one of the all time greats, but he bowled on many a favourable pitch. Shane warne bowled much of his career on australian pitches. Murali deserves his record but a comparison between himself and warne is all but pointless.
Sanath and Roshan were best friends during their career. Same with Sanga and Mahela. They knew each other well enough and that made it easier to have that sort of partnerships. Regarding Murali, he was one of the hardest working cricketers ever. No matter how good he was or how senior he was, he put a lot of time and effort on his training day in day out
Jayawarthane and sangagara both are great in lost matches against india.
everyone at that level puts in work, lazy argument. he was simply better than everyone else in the game's history
@@jaydeepbose4501 Not really. Have you seen the current SL team? Most of them are very talented. Performed well during their school time under strict coaches. But look what happens now. Barely wins a game against top level teams
The highest first class team score is 1107 by Victoria against New South Wales in the 1920’s
'Which is an extremely rare occurrence in the world of cricket' when describing something that has never happened...
You didnot mention bapu nadkarni s bowling consequetive maiden overs in a test match stands unbroken after five decades nearly .
The highest number of successive maiden overs in a test match - 21 overs at Madras in 1964 by an Indian, Mr. Nadkarni, bowling against England in 1964in the first test match. The batsman batting where Ken Barrington and J.B.Bolus.
Can the record created by S G Nadkerni who bowled 22 maidenovers at a stretchbe broken?
Perhaps an 11th feat 'd be most times *a Century & a Double Century in a single Test* :the record is held by Ian Botham, methinks! + a 12th: *best All Round(er)figures* ,combing both bowling & batting... wthether in a single Test and in a career.
