Every day new records are made in the cricket world and old ones are broken. But there are some such records of the cricket world, which are hard to be broken, knowing that you will also be stunned. Let's have a look...

Sir Don Bradman's average

Sir Don Bradman, considered one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket, needed just four runs to reach an average of 100 in his final Test innings, but was bowled out for zero. Broken.

19 wickets in a Test match

Everyone knows that Anil Kumble holds the record for taking all 10 wickets in a Test, but did you know that Jim Laker of England took 19 wickets in a Test against Australia in 1956? Laker was quick for 9 in the first innings and 10 in the second innings. It is impossible to break this record.

Most runs in an innings

Veteran West Indies batsman Brian Lara was adept at playing big innings. Lara holds the record for most runs in an innings of a Test match (400 against England in 2004). He also holds the record for the highest individual score in first class (501 runs Warwickshire vs Durham, 1994).

The smallest test match

A Test match in Melbourne in 1932 was completed in just five hours and 53 minutes. In reply to Australia's 153, South Africa were bowled out for 36 and 45 in both their innings.

Chaminda Vas's bowling figure

Sri Lankan left-arm fast bowler Chaminda Vase was eight wickets quick with just 19 runs against Zimbabwe. He is the only bowler to take eight wickets in an ODI. Even this record seems unlikely to be broken.

In a first-class season, the highest run

In 1947, England's Dennis Compton scored 3816 runs in a first-class season, including 18 centuries. Because there are so few first-class matches these days, Compton's record is unlikely to be broken. In that year, 30 matches and 50 innings were played, but today's cricketers are lucky if they manage to play half of their games.

Australia's highest Test win

Australia won 16 consecutive Test matches twice between 1999-2001 and 2005-2008. The Kangaroos did this in the golden age of Australian cricket, first under the captaincy of Steve Waugh and later under the captaincy of Ricky Ponting. Australia dominated world cricket for a long time with bowlers like McGrath, Shane Warne and Gillespie and batsmen like Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist.

The record for playing the oldest test player

The record is in the name of Wilfred Rhodes of England. Wilfred was 52 when he made his final Test debut against the West Indies in Kingston in 1929. This record will never be broken.
