there is 99.94% chance of it not happening...but we still have 0.06 % chance of it happening with in next 100 yearsCan't some of you maths buffs use some theory and numbers to predict if there is a probability for another Bradmanish batsman to play cricket and beat his record? Things like this is all you are good at.

How about Boucher's test match dismissals? I guess its gonna be pretty difficult to break that record as well.
Boucher - 521 dismissals in 139 tests
Current Contenders :
Matt Prior ( age 29 ) - 121 dismissals in 40 games
[ Expect 10-12 games a year for next 6 years ] --> Chance : NIL
MS Dhoni ( age 30 ) - 173 dismissals in 54 games
[ Expect 8-10 games a year for next 7-8 years ] --> Chance : NIL
Kamran Akmal ( age 29 ) - 206 dismissals in 53 games ( It looks good despite those 7654 dropped catches )
[ Expect 3-4 games a year for next 2-3 years ] --> Chance : NIL

King's record as an all-rounder. I doubt anyone will get any closer to it as well.

Wickets : 270
Catches : 166
ODIs : 307
Runs : 11002
Wickets : 259

And the rest of the points in this thread are....If you mean the point about there never being another "first" of anything then of course you're right. You have to admit that as points go it's pretty naff.
Maybe if the thread had been titled "Test records that will be really hard to break", there would have been more sanity.

This reminds me of the time I met Collis King after he'd played in a benefit match in Blackpool - he was a good bloke - one of his teammates, whose name I can no longer recall was the real talking point though - he'd have challenged that record for the most alcohol consumed in a flight from Australia to the UK - is it David Boon who holds it?

How about Don Bradman's 309 runs in a day?
