impossible to say, since sobers set the 360 odd mark back in the 60's, it has been bettered only 3 times. so i dont think in my lifetime i will see it broken, thereby eliminating all of those u said.

all those listed have the ability (+ dravid, sehwag and ponting) to score big in test match, but it also requires a certain set of circumstances to enable a batsman to bat for a long period without jeopardizing the the result ie. runs scored quickly, quick over rate, no rain etc.

if i am to see it broken again then i reckon one of these guys
1. Sachin
2. Hayden
3. Sehwag

on a personal note i would like to ST get at least 360 or the record so there is no argument as to who's is the greatest of his generation.

i think the record still reflects that bradman has been the greatest ever though.

The way Zimbabwe are going, the likes of Tendulkar, etc will be queueing up to have a go at the new "whipping boys" unless they get stripped of test nation status that record could fall sooner than later.

yeah but thing is the powerful nations dont really play the weaker ones. i mean when was the last time AUS played Bangladesh
indian v kenya etc. ok there was Zim v Aus, but that was when we were ok.

does not really happen and when it does it the B side or the Under 21's etc that play in the game.
