Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Impossible.

What's buzzing in the world of cricket....

Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Impossible.

Postby The Professor » Tue Apr 14, 2020 4:00 pm

Was ruminating over Lara's 400 the other day and thought about some other big milestones that could be broken.

Your job is to decide if they are probably going to be broken at some point, possible to be broken, unlikely to be achieved or whether you think it is out of the question.

Test

20 wickets by a single bowler.
Double hattrick.

ODI

Team total 500+
England to be the first team 500+
Ten-fer for a bowler

T20

Double Ton for a batsman
300+ Team total
Quickest T20 century to fewer than 20 balls
Ten-fer for a bowler

Generak

Kohli to overtake Tendulkaar's 100 centuries

Feel free to throw some of your own out there.

A Twenty20 score of 300 is probable - most likely to happen between two obscure nations playing in a world or regional championship.
T20 century in 19 balls - three overs would have to go for a minimum of 32 (2x 4s and 4x 6s), along with a boundary next ball. Only scenario I can see that happening is in the opening powerplay.

1000 runs in a test innings? Not very likely, especially if we see 4 day tests.

Test and ODI tons will go I expect. Kohli to do the latter. Maybe the former will be done by someone who hasn't been born yet?
