Records cease to stand once they are broken by some other similarly talented; less talented or more talented individual who is involved with that game. Talks about making and breaking records have always dominated any kind of sport and cricket is no exception to this. It is only that cricket records differ vastly then all the other records. In other words, each game has its own set of unique records and achievements attained by players. Cricket records like any other record motivate a player to give his best and stamp his authority over a certain discipline.

Among the different cricket records, the one record which most players want to achieve during their playing career is that perfect batting average of 100. Even the greatest batsman of the world Don Bradman of Australia failed to achieve that. In the last match of his career, Bradman needed to score just 4 runs to achieve that perfect batting average of 100, but destiny had other plans for him and he could not get that. He was out for a duck and missed that record by a whisker. So this is another reason why many players aim to achieve this cricket record. However this can be quite a difficult task. After all even the best player in the world could not do it. However in the near future we may find that some player has achieved this cricket record, along with some other cricket records.
