Who will score the next triple

[aussie tragic]

5 in the 1930’s (Sandham 325, Bradman 334, Hammond 336*, Bradman 304, Hutton 364)
2 in the 1950’s (Hanif Mohamed 337 & Sobers 365*)
3 in the 1960s (Simpson 311, Edrich 310* and Cowper 307)
1 in the 1970’s (Rowe 302)
4 in the 1990’s (Gooch 333, Lara 375, Jayasuriya 340 & Taylor 334*)

...and now we have 8 triples in the last 8 years…(since May 2002)

329 Inzamam vs NZ (2002)
380 Hayden vs Zim (2003)
309 Sehwag vs Pak (2004)
400* Lara vs Eng (2004)
317 Gayle vs SA (2005)
374 Jayawardene vs SA (2006)
319 Sehwag vs SA (2008)
313 Younis vs SL (2009)

So at this rate, who will score the next triple???

 

[BoyBrumby]

If I were a betting man I suppose I'd say Sehwag would be the favourite to make it a hat-trick of triples.

 

[Sir Alex]

I think it could be SAchin

 

[Shri]

Scored a 294 too apart from those 2 300s. Gotta be Sehwag.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, Sehwag. Maybe Pietersen.

 

[pasag]

Gambhir

 

[Himannv]

Greame Smith

 

[G.I.Joe]

Any one of Sehwag, Tendulkar or even Ponting, I suppose. I remember the thread about who would score the first double in an ODI, and lots of candidates were discussed. But it turned out to be the unlikely Tendulkar, who in hindsight wasn't all that unikely tbh.

Some recent close one's

293 Sehwag vs SL (2009)
291 Sarwan vs Eng (2009)
275 Jayawardene vs India (2009)
253* Amla vs India (2010)

 

[Sir Alex]

Interesting to see how many of them belonged to the top 3.

With a Zimbabwe/Bangladesh series for next May looking likely I'd back Tamim Iqbal

I'd be looking for someone in their 20's to do it with only 7 triples scored after they reach 30

Age 21: Sobers, Bradman
Age 22: Hutton
Age 23: Hanif Mohammad
Age 24: Lara
Age 25: Gayle, Sehwag, Cowper, Bradman, Rowe
Age 28: Jayasuriya, Simpson, Edrich
Age 29: Jayawardene, Hammond, Sehwag

Age 31: Hayden, Younis
Age 32: Inzamam
Age 33: Taylor
Age 34: Lara
Age 37: Gooch
Age 39: Sandham

Ah, but 6 of the last 12 triples (i.e. all triples scored since Rowe) have been scored by batsmen in their 30's. Thats an even split

Good point, with 6 of the last 8 triples being scored after 29 as well...

 

[nightprowler10]

Scoring a triple at 21 is simply amazing to me.

 

[Jarquis]

Scoring a triple at 21 is simply amazing to me.

Not a bad effort at 39 either.

Jesse Ryder. Assuming that:

a) we play a test sometime in the next 10 years
b) he's fit and hasn't been on the turps for a week solid prior to the test.
