Gibbs has got pretty close before, the Aus-SA game where he got 180-odd springs instantly to mind. If memory serves me correctly, there were still about 10 overs left when he was dismissed, so if he was ever in a position to play such an innings again I'd expect him to be capable of doing it.

Otherwise... any one of Ponting, Hayden, Gilchrist, KP et al could do it, but only on their day. It's pretty unlikely to happen though.
