Sehwag's 219 off 149 balls-can anyone better this?

[Prithvi]

Fortunately, you don't get to decide who is in the team and who is not . Maybe Sehwag told you that Sachin's chances of being in the team after Aussie tour are slim . Inside info .

About Fitness - Sachin is as fit as Sehwag, infact fitter .

About going after the bowling - Sachin doesn't need to go after the bowling to score fast,unlike Sehwag . That is just one of the many exceptional qualities that Sachin has developed .

I hope you are not somebody else's alter ego. Your dislike for Sachin seems all to familiar .

Well, I'm not trying to COMPARE Sachin and Sehwag, they both have completely different type of batsmen!

What I'm trying to convey is Sachin scoring a double ton in ODI cricket is almost practically impossible, since he has not much cricket left in his life!

PS: I like both Sehwag and Sachin, don't try to prove someone that I'm anti Sachin or anti Viru!

Sachin again? NO CHANCE!! Its time to unburden himself of ODI cricket and concentrate only on tests. I still cant understand why he is waiting to announce retirement from ODI's.

Hmm..be honest. Did you expected Sachin would be first to score double? No?

Whatever you say sir .

Right. Same way, I am not expecting him to re-gain that record. If he does, it would be a greater achievement than that first knock.

And there is certainly a very good possibility that he will do that(surpass 219). I do not really understand why people refuse to even think about it.It is not as if he is still suffering from the after effects of that 200 NO . He is fit.He is in very good form. Three of his biggest scores(163,175,200) has come in last couple of years. Once he breaks a barrier he becomes a little more consistent.In the first decade he had not double tons , but once he scored his first double ton , he added 5 more to it. He has mastered the art of scoring fast without taking risks . So he is also a candidate for surpassing 219.

When is he even going to play ODIs next?

In India's tour of Australia I suppose.

 

[JD10]

The only way this is going to get broken is if Warner gets going and gets picked in ODi's

 

[VC the slogger]

Damn... While talking about pigeon's batting gift we forgot about Dizzy . When i first saw it in the news i thought they are playing a prank or something

I had just turned on the TV when I saw Gillespie 197*.I was shell-shocked at seeing his score then he played one down to fine leg for a boundary and made 201*.Sad thing that it was his last match for Australia.

 

[macintosh]

There are many batsmen who have a chance of scoring more than 219,
but noone can surpass this record of Gavaskar

Just have a look at the scorecard
Best ODI innings ever

 

[AngryPixel]

Absolutely baffling. So India is indeed a land of strange records. On one hand we have a player who took 6 balls to score 36 and on the other hand we have a player who took 60 overs to score 36 runs

 

[Aislabie]

At risk of being laughed at, I would have to say David Warner...

 

[Bevab]

A good enough option. Not laughable.

 

[VC the slogger]

So nobody voted for AB de Villiers yet....

 

[vorgaphe]

I think that whoever said Chris Gayle is the most likely to be right. He really should get up there with a score like that.
