Who is likely to break Saeed Anwar's record of the highest score in one day internationals?

Wouldn't be surprised if Mahendra Singh Dhoni breaks the record in the forthcoming West Indies tour.\n\nHe almost did it against Sri Lanka ( http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/SL_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/SL_IND_ODI3_31OCT2005.html ) but sadly, there weren't enough runs on the board.

record holds both Sanath Jayasuriya (sri Lanka) and Shahid Afridi (pakistan). \n\nJayasuriya manages to get 11 Sixes in 1995/1996 in Singapore in a match against pakistan where he scored fastest ODI hundred (48 balls)and got out for 134.\n\nIts remarkably a coincidence that in 1996/97, Afridi scored 11 sixes against Sri Lanka in  Nairobi, where he broke jayasuriya's fastest century record (37 balls) and scored 102,\n\nIts great that at both occasions they both scored fastest centuries with 11 sixes! and in both occasions it was neutral venues and teams involved are SL and Pak

Suresh Raina definitely, but Robin Uthappa may end up in the opening slot one day...too premature to juge him based on just 2 ODI. besides suresh is not a contender for the top order

Obviously Sachin tendulkar\nHe has heated 1508 fours and 149 sixes in ODI.\nBrian lara is very far from sachin\nHe has scored 935 fours and 110 sixes in ODI.

Sachin Tendulkar beyond any doubt due to following reasons:\n\n1)  Holds the record for most centuries in Test Cricket (35) and\n     one day Internationals.\n\n2)  Holds the record of scoring most runs in one day Internationals.

For Test match-Ricky Ponting is no.1\nFor ODI ranking- M.S. Dhoni is no.1

Shahid Afridi  \n\nSahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi (born March 1, 1980 in Khyber Agency to Pashtun parents of the Afridi tribe) popularly known as Shahid Afridi is a Pakistani cricketer who has represented Pakistan since 1996 in international cricket. He made his ODI debut on October 2, 1996 against Kenya at Nairobi and his Test debut on October 22, 1998 against Australia at Karachi. He has scored over 4,500 ODI runs at a strike rate of more than 107 runs per 100 balls, and has taken over 160 ODI wickets. He was brought into the team as a legspinner at the age of sixteen as a replacement for the injured Mushtaq Ahmed. He then gained fame as a slogger and began opening with Saeed Anwar. He holds the record for scoring the fastest century (which he scored in 37 balls) in One Day Internationals. He also shares the record for the second fastest century (on 45 balls) in One Day Internationals with Brian Lara. One of Pakistan's useful all rounders, his pinch hitting of the ball has ensured that he has a strike rate higher than most batsman in the world though his average of around 25 underlines the inconsistency in his batting.

The 35 centuries will be definitely be overtaken within a year. The most likely to do that would be Ricky Ponting - younger than Tendulkar and already has 31 tons to his credit. Tendulkar, unfortunately isn't scoring test centuries as frequently as before. He has scored just 4 centuries in the past 4 years (One against Bangladesh). In the same period, Ponting has scored 17 centuries. I have a feeling that even Lara (32 test centuries) would go past Tendulkar. \n\nComing to ODIs, Tendulkar has almost double the number than his closest rival (40 vs. 22 centuries). I don't see any current player (Including young talents like Tharanga) to reach close to 45 centuries (Possibly where Tendulkar would end up). \n\nBut then, records are meant to be broken. With more matches coming up against minnows, somebody will eventually get to that ODI record. My guess is it will be an hugely talented opener from a subcontinent team  - they play more ODI matches in easier batting conditions. I think the ODI record will be intact for at least the next 10 years.

yes i agree that lara is the best batsman of his age even better than sachin tendulkar cause lara not only affects the opponent but also brings a fire in his team \ni dont know what the west indians will do without the great LARA\n\nbut i feel that it is ricky ponting who is going to surpass all the world records except of having an average of 99.96 (record of sir don bradman) and may be also not being able to score 400*(made by the great lara)

IF HE CONNECTS WELL, AFRIDI IS THE BEST.\nINZY LAZY.\nRAZZAQ NOT SO FAMILIAR AS AFRIDI IN HITTING 6.

No.He will not be the best one ever cuz many players are approaching his records.In my opinion Don Bradman and Clive Lloyds are the best

Tendulkar is the past now. Lara is much better. Over and above Ricky Ponting is the best right now. A score of 196 and 50+ in the same match, awsome.

SACHIN...cos he is unique.

The top 5 are\n\n35 - Sachin Tendulkar, India (132 matches)\n34 - Sunil Gavaskar, India (125 matches)\n34 - Brian Lara, West Indies (130matches)\n32 - Steve Waugh, Australia (168 matches)\n32 - Ricky Ponting, Australia (106 matches)\n\nAt the rate Ponting is going he will soon take over - he has scored another one in the current test so that takes him to 33.
