Predictions

Background

Virender Sehwag smashed 175 in the opening game against Bangladesh, the equal fourth highest score in world cup history. Will anyone score more than 175 in a single innings during the world cup?
List of high scores in this world cup is here: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/engine/records/batting/most_runs_innings.html?id=4857;type=tournament
Highest individual innings in the world cups have been
2007 Imran Nazir 160
2003 Craig Wishart 172*
1999 Sourav Ganguly 183
1996 Gary Kirsten 188*
1992 Rameez Raja 119* (what was wrong with Australasian pitches?)
1987 Viv Richards 181 (again)
1983 Kapil Dev 175* (same score as Sehwag, the last time India won the world cup. Is it an omen?)
1979 Viv Richards 138*
1975 Glenn Turner (my grandmother taught him French in high school and see where it got him!)

Glenn Turner made 171* off a million (well 201) balls against East Africa for anyone interested.
