Lara's cracking 156 seals emphatic win

One of the modern day greats in cricket has done it again. This time against Pakistan in the triangular one day series in Australia with, obviously, Australia as the 3rd team.
156 runs off 138 balls with 12 x 4's and 5 x 6's.
1st 50 off 81 balls (S/R 61.7)
2nd 50 off 36 balls (S/R 138.8)
AND
3rd 50 off just 19 balls in 17 minutes; a strike rate of 263 runs per 100 balls; incredible!!!
He already holds the world record for runs in one innings in test matches at 400 runs not out and also holds 3rd place at 375.

Lara's cracking 156 seals emphatic win

Who will (or can) be the first batsman to get 200 runs in a one dayer?
Brian Lara?
Adam Guilchrist?
Virender Sehwag?
Maybe even Michael Clarke who has been earmarked as a future great and Australian captain!!
