Will take a terrible drop in quality F1 drivers to match Schumacher's seven F1 drivers' championships.
W. G. Grace's First Class 54,000 runs and 2,800 wickets will probably never be beaten.

Yeh my first thought in this thread.
Heather McKay squash titles

When she retired in 1981 at the age of 40, McKay had gone nearly 20 years undefeated (with the only two defeats to her name occurring at the beginning of her career).

Lara's domestic 501 will never be broken. Lara on his day was unstoppable, it is only consistency that prevents him from being mentioned next to Bradman and Sachin.

Margaret Court's 62 grand slam titles would have to be one.
My favourite cricket stat is that Charles Bannerman scored 165 out of Australia's total of 245 in the first innings of the very first test match. He had to stop batting when he broke his finger and retired hurt. The next highest score was 18 by the number 9 batsman. This record of scoring the highest % of a completed innings (67.3%) remains to this day. Amazing that it came about at the very beginning of test cricket.
Sure, that record may be broken, but it has lasted one hell of a long time! I remember watching a test match in 1999 at the SCG, playing England, where Michael Slater nearly did it. It was the 3rd innings and we had a lead of 102, but the rest of the team just folded. Slater scored 123 out of a total of 184 (66.8%) but he was the 8th wicket to fall, when the score was 180 (68.3%). It was only 4 runs between MacGill and Funky Miller that kept Bannerman's record intact. The 2nd top score was Mark Waugh on 24…
MacGill then took 7/50 in the 4th innings (to go with his 5/57 in the 2nd innings) to give us a 98 run win. MacGill won the man of the match, but Slater was magnificent!
The Wisden match report makes interesting reading, by the way.

With the rise of T20 and the rate these batsmen score at, Sehwags record wont be around for to long, Gayle on his day could break that with ease. I think it was the Champions league where he and Rohit Sharma complety destroyed NSW, i think they were going at about 15 an over or something

Given the development of the game, I don't doubt that the ODI score will be beaten, but the combined centuries figure will be tricky to beat, particularly for an Australian who rarely plays minnows.
