Who will score the next triple

[Hurricane]

I think a Kiwi has a chance against Zimbos - but I would like to see us get our first triple against a top 8 team. Either of our openers could do it - especially McCullum if he bats aggressively.

 

[Migara]

One or two triples looming on the mother of all flat tracks. My money is on Sanga and Mahela. If Dilshan opens, might go after bowling to a huge score. There were signs of ut when he was running away with the game in Lords, until he got one on the thumb and cracked it.

 

[NUFAN]

No one currently playing Test Cricket.

It would take Grandpa Misbah the whole 5 days to make a triple.

Looks like we might be starting this again in half an hour. Top effort from Clarke.

 

[aussie tragic]

brilliant triple by Clarke...also the highest ever score from number 5 (beating Bradman's 304)

 

[Neil Pickup]

would join Cowper (307 with next best 165) and Sandham (325, next is 152)...hope for Clarke yet since he has a HS of 168 and has now moved up to # 4

Not sure this counts as a prediction... closest anyone came to calling it, though.

I'll take it as a great prediction

Jeetan Patel against South Africa.

At the bowling crease.

Loses out for saying Clarke moving to 4 is one reason he's likely to make the triple IMO.

Wondering if there may be one on in the next couple of months in Dubai.

Ed Cowan in Perth.

Next: Darren Bravo

Clarke in Adelaide

In the upcoming UAE tour, there is quite a big possibility of a triple century, despite the strength of each bowling attack. From a Pakistani point of view, there are two real contenders IMO: Younis and Hafeez. I'm not sure that Khan can do it again, but if he's on song, I wouldn't be surprised. Hafeez has been playing very well lately, and, assuming he strikes quickly, he could potentially occupy the crease long enough. Any of the English batsman, I believe, obviously excluding the third-class batsman in Broad, Bresnan and Swann, can score a triple, although they'll be struggling against a quality spin attack.

If not this tour, India has (reportedly, haven't checked) 2 years of home matches.

Cook would surely be the favourite from the Englishmen - opening and has the key attribute that separates triples from doubles: insane concentration.

KP is possible but Bell I'd say is nigh on impossible on the basis that he's batting at #5 and has a excellent top four above him. KP also quite unlikely for a similar reason.
