cricket matches

Pakistan holds the record for highest Test score, scoring 765 runs against Sri Lanka in Feb. 21st century. England first scored 800 runs in 1930. The West Indies scored 790 runs against Pakistan. This was the highest score of the 21st Century and a record for Test matches.

Brian Lara's 403 at number three

The record of 400 runs per Test match remains unbroken. It is possible for a batsman to score more than 400 runs during a single Test. Brian Lara was captain of West Indies at that time. The Recreation Ground was the venue for the fourth Test against England. He has some very pleasant memories there.

Joe Root's triple century

Joe Root scored his triple century in the second Test against New Zealand on Thursday, completing his twenty-seventh century in Test cricket. It was the first time that a player had scored a century in the hundredth test. While he is still relatively young, Root is one of the most reliable and consistent batsmen in the world. Root, an English top-order batsman, has been a fixture of the test series since 2011.

David Warner's 223

Although there have been many great cricket innings, nothing can compare to David Warner's 223 run in the first Test against India. Warner quickly started the innings, scoring four fours on the first two deliveries. Warner's century was reached on 69 balls. This is the fourth fastest Test record.


George Headly's 223 in Ahmedabad

Headley is one of the most renowned West Indian cricketers. He was the West Indies' most powerful player, and his batting contributed significantly to the team’s success. He made his Test debut against England on 30 June 1930. He was an early success. His successes against England and Australia were continued in the next years.

George Headly 223 Mohali

George Headly's 223 run in Mohalla on 13 November 1929 gave West Indies victory in their first Test series against England. Headley scored 270 in eight hours of strokeplay, including 30 fours of the highest quality. The win was decisive for the Caribbeans, who won this series for the first-time.

Sri Lanka's 223 in Mohali

Sri Lanka's 223 in Mohale was an improbable win for the visitors. It was a rare Test win in India and the current squad was expected to lose. But optimistic people had their fingers crossed for the Sri Lankans to pull off a miracle, and deny Viratkohli his 50th International Century.

West Indies' 589/3 in first innings

David Warner set a new record at Adelaide Oval by breaking the record for the most runs in an innings. Also, he silenced critics scoring 335 runs. The Australian opener previously scored 333 runs during a Test against Sri Lanka. Warner's innings was not the most important, however, Rohit Sharma was also chosen to break the record, hitting a triple ton. He scored his maiden triple-ton in five-day Cricket. Despite being reduced to 96/6 by the West Indies in the second innings, the West Indies won the Test by 10 wickets.

Pakistan's 589/3 at the start of the innings

Australia posted a huge total of 589 runs in their first innings. This was largely due to David Warner's triple-ton. Australia won by an innings, 48 runs. Mitchell Starc took six wickets for Australia, and the Australian bowlers had complete control over Pakistan's batting order. Babar Azam scored 97 runs while Yasir Khan scored 113 runs. But it wasn't enough for the team to withstand the Australian attack.
