Who Can Score 200 At This World Cup?
After the exultation by the West Indies Chris Gayle that he wants to grace this World Cup with a double ton.Who are the men who can achieve this remarkable feat?
Here is my likely candidates
Tillikeratne Dilshan (Sri Lanka)
This revolutionary little Sri Lankan, famous for his revolutionary 'Dil Scoop' shot is a great candidate for this feat.For the fact that he opens,can give the ball an almighty wallop and as seen in the Dil Scoop is a very fine innovator of shots.
Chance 20%-He can do it and likely will have his best chance if Sri Lanka bat first against minnows like Canada or Kenya
Shane Watson (Australia)
A player who is very technically correct and also possesses great power to clear the fences as seen in a recent rampage against England.So if he gets on a tear 200 is a possibility
Chances 25%-He has a better chance than Dilshan,for he possesses greater power
Kamran Akmal (Pakistan)
The first hurdle for Kamran is his place in the Team and then where he bats.If he bats as an opener he has all the shot making ability to score a huge score.
Chances 5%-I think he might not be in the initial Pakistan Team
Virender Sehwag (India)
This guy is the most brutal batsman in the game.He has all the shots and though he has a lack of a technique he can keep the good balls out.Also his power is awesome with him able to clear any boundary.
Chances 35%-He is a big chance to get 200 in this World Cup
Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh)
A brutal strokeplayer who again has the skill to keep good bowling out.So you can reasonably expect him to bat along time.And if he does he scores in a real hurry
Chances-20%-He has a chance to do it with his stroke play
Sachin Tendulkar (India)
He has already scored 200 in an Odi.So why can't he do it again at this World Cup? He is a brutal stroke player and one of the finest batsmen in the history of the game.So when he's on song he scores quick and is so hard to get out.
Chances 20%-A big chance
Brendon McCullum (New Zealand)
This Kiwi batsman is arguably one of the most lethal batsman in Odi cricket.He has brutal power as seen in his T20 career and also is a good enough player to bat a long time.He is one of my favourites for this remarkable accomplishment
Chances-40%-If the Kiwis bat first against a minnow,McCullum could blast a huge score
Chris Gayle (West Indies)
Probably the hugest hitter in the current game and as an opener when he's on song he is without peer in regards to his brutality.He hits them hard and my word does he hit them long!
Chances-40%-He has made it his focus, for with Gayle its rarely about Team,but always about Chris
Graeme Smith (South Africa)
The South African skipper is a more conventional batsman,but don't discount his ability to get this mark.For he has the skill to bat 50 overs and the power to score at a rate of knots
Chances 5%-A great player and could do it but unlikely
Kevin Pietersen (England)
A man as skilled and with the power of Pietersen in the openers role.........
Me thinks anything and I mean anything is possible.....................
So 200 is a big chance
Chances-25%-Pietersen loves the limelight so it wouldn't surprise me at all
The Outside Chances
Ricky Ponting (Australia)-5%
He has a point to prove after his Ashes humiliation and with his stroke play and power.If he comes in early is a chance
A.B.De.Villiers (South Africa)-5%
Depending where he bats has brutal power to score huge
Abdul Razzaq/Shahid Afridi (Pakistan) 10%
Its Pakistan so conceivably they could be 4/10 against a minnow in the 2nd over with Razzaq and Afridi batting together..............
So expect carnage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
