7 records in cricket that may never be broken

1. Don Bradman's untouchable average of 99.94
Don Bradman was the greatest batsman of all time, and nothing is more impressive than his outstanding average of 99.94 in 52 test matches. A staggering average whichever way you look at it, and it could have so nearly touched 100 but Eric Hollies ruined the party with a brilliant delivery that left the Don rooted to his spot and bowled for a duck in his final innings.

2. Jim laker's stunning match figures of 90-19.

The psot-Bradman era brought some joy for the English as they finally got the edge against their arch rivals Australia. In 1956, the Australians faced the disgrace of being the first side to be dismissed by a single bowler. Jim Laker bamboozled the Aussies with his off spin and neutralized one of their major weapons - the cut shot. Laker took 9 wickets in the second innings as well with Tony Lock taking the other Australian wicket. Amazing feat!

3. Sachin Tendulkar's 100 international hundreds

India's master blaster has never buckled in a quarter of a century of fulfilling the dreams of a billion expectant Indians - Sachin's consistency for the last 24 years remains unparralleled in the annals of test cricket history. 100 international centuries is no feat, mind you! Some people are placing their bets on Virat Kohli. Can he do it?

4. Sir Jack Hobbs' incredible feat of 199 centuries

England batsman Sir John Berry "Jack" Hobbs scored a total of 199 centuries in his cricketing career, including 18 test match centuries. Hobbs is regarded as one of the greatest ever batsmen in cricket and his opening partnership with Herbert Sutcliffe remains the most prolific opening combination yet. The pair had opened the batting 38 times in test cricket, and shared an impressive 15 century opening partnerships, and added 3,249 runs together with an average of 87.81, which is the highest in all Tests for a pair of opening batsmen.

5. Graham Gooch scoring 456 runs in one test

A bizarre decision by the Indian skipper to field first in a test match against England at Lords in 1990 proved to be a costly mistake as his opposite number made India pay severely. In delightful batting conditions, Gooch scored 333 in the first innings, which is the highest ever score at Lord's and followed it up with 123 in the second innings as England won the match by 247 runs.

6. Wilfred Rhodes' retirement at the age of 52!

 Rhodes played his last match at the ripe age of 52 and his career lasted 30 years. In an era where a lot of significance is given to fitness levels, Rhodes' feat is both outstanding and unparalleled, and would take some beating in the modern day game.

7. Ricky Ponting's 108 test victories as a player

Ricky Ponting was part of the Australian golden generation which dominated the sport of cricket for close to two decades. Ponting continued Australia's winning habit after taking over from Steve Waugh and his aggressive captaincy helped Australia cement their grasp on the pinnacle of test cricket. Apart from being one of the most accomplished batsmen of his generation, Ponting skippered a team of superstars such as Adam Giilchrist, Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie, Shane Warne among many other greats.
