Misbah to bat the whole 5 days against England and get a triple.

It will be Kane Williamson in the subcontinent with a cricket bat (NZ's 1st triple).

Sehwag - again!

U19 12th Man
Probably too slow - there are exceptions, but most triples have come at a strike rate of at least 60 & some have been markedly quicker than that.

In this match, New Zealand opener GM Turner managed to accumulate 259 run, from a mere 759 balls, at the mind-blowing, earth shattering, firework-inducing strike rate of 34. This would suggest that slow scorers, including Trott and Misbah, can get a triple, or at the minimum a 250, providing they open or the top-order collapses under mysterious circumstances. (FYI the slowest (recorded) triple, is that of Len Hutton's 364 at a strike rate of 42, in a game where England pretty much grinding out a 9-man strong Australian team.)
The slowest recorded 200+ score, in recent years, in a winning situation, was that of Grant Flower, against Pakistan, in Harare, in 1995. He scored 201* at the jaw-dropping, toilet-plunging, roughly-tailored strike rate of 38. Again, not a triple, not even that close to it tbh, but it's worth mentioning.
The slowest recorded 250+ score, in a winning situation, takes us back to the year of 1928, the leap year when Coca Cola enters Europe through the Amsterdam Olympics, and the year when a a bomb attack against Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini in Milan kills 17 bystanders. The oh-so famous Wally Hammond managed 251 runs from just 605 balls, at a under-ladder-walking, black-cat-talking, mirror-smashing strike rate of 41, before being dismissed by the youthful Australian, Bert Ironmonger, when his bails were dislodged after his marathon display. It should definitely be noted that this was a timeless test, that lasted six days, and could have lasted much longer had the Australian's of old not been so incompetent. It shouldn't be noted, but I will note it because I like trivia, that everybody in that innings scored a double digit score (Wally Hammond didn't, of course), even this EX Tras guy, and this is aesthetically pleasing, for me.

I think it was more match considerations. Looked to me like he wanted a go at them before and after tea, though it's hard to know whether Bradmans score was in the back of his mind.
