Records that will never be beaten

I doubt this will ever be bettered in a ODI. Not even a domestic one dayer. The record I speak of is runs conceded by a bowler in the full 10 over allotment.

Are there other records you believe will never be bettered - Test or ODI?

Not sure if this counts....... how about Greg Chappell's 7 ducks in a row..most consecutive ducks by a batsman (numbers 1 to 6) representing his country (some were in Tests and some one dayers, from memory).

I'm not sure it was 7 ducks in a row, I think it was more like 4, but it would have seemed like 7 to Chappell :)

I think Allan Border still is the only batsman to make 150+ in both innings of a test match.
Was correct until Feb this year. Don't think it has been emulated.

In fact, the Wilfred Rhodes record of oldest Test player will stand forever. No way will there ever be a 52 year old Test cricketer again!

Unless in 2021 we find ourselves totally deplete of spinners, and the Australian selectors must choose a spinner...welcome back Warnie. :)
