First to score an ODI double century

[Jnr.]

Nah...Khaled Mahmud.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Bizarrely, I think an outside bet to do it might be Marcus Trescothick. I remember an 81 off 52 balls he hit against Pakistan a while back which showed that he can be as devastating as anyone when he wants to be - and I can't see Bangladesh having the discipline to expose his second-slip weakness. Maybe next year in that series.

My money is on Gilchrist

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Shivarine Chanderpaul or Tino Best. You'll see... you'll all see.

Mind the windows.......

 

[Don]

damn u.u beat me to it.yes the great shiv will do it followed by tino breast

 

[Langeveldt]

What is the highest ODI score at the moment?

I seem to remember Gary Kirsten hitting loads and loads against the UAE in Rawalpindi...

 

[Macka]

194?

 

[marc71178]

this is getting slightly unrealistic!

Only becuase Warne's retired from ODIs - apart from that it was clearly going to happen!

 

[JackRussellsHat]

It's obviously going to be Freddie on Saturday

 

[Mingster]

Mark Richardson.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

It's obviously going to be Freddie on Saturday

Only because he's dropped by Inzamam on 2 though.

Wait a minute...

 

[Craig]

Kadeer Ali or Vikrim Solanki

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Mister Gilly Gilly will get it... if anybody this decade...

 

[Eclipse]

It's going to happen but IMO it wont be Sehwag like so many think.. He does not have the concerntration IMO..

I dont think it will be Sachin ether has not looked like making a huge ODI score for ages now he is just not aggresive enough anymore.

 

[FRAZ]

Jai Minnows . Minnows are the record making machines and lets see who gets a record against them .......

 

[Deja moo]

I guess Flintoff if he opens/ comes in within 5 overs...
Sachin.....needs a signature innings before he retires.
Gilchrist

 

[luckyeddie]

Only because he's dropped by Inzamam on 2 though.

Wait a minute...

Put it out, Liam

 

[Linda]

Er... Abdul Razzaq.

Heh.

 

[Richard]

There are certainly plenty less likely than Razzaq.
When you've seen him smash a good attack all over a huge stadium without once looking remotely like getting out, and scoring 75* off 40 balls - not to mention some of the stuff he's done in the last year - you can't help thinking it's remotely possible.
Personally I hope it never happens, but of course it's fairly likely to.
One thing I really hope is that it doesn't happen against a substandard side, because if it does there'll be no end of stuff about a largely irrelevant feat, in a match that happened to be classified as "ODI".

 

[Swervy]

Personally I hope it never happens

why not...it would be great viewing if someone like Gilchrist (or whoever) did it vs a good opponent
