One of the earliest intercolonial matches - check out the outstanding figures of 9 for 2 by Gideon Elliott in the first innings
Also check out the Victoria captain who gave away 8.5 times as many runs as the next most expensive bowler - must be a record or close to it. He was so pissed off he not only didn’t bowl Elliott in the second innings, he also decided to invent footy when he got back to Melbourne later that year.

Speaking of starting well before it all went pear-shaped - Jason Holder taking 1/9 in his first five overs then 0/95 in his second five overs.

So close to two 300 partnerships in a row. I wonder if there have ever been two 300 partnerships in the same innings.

It wasn't hard. My thought was that it would be most likely to be one of the highest ever first class innings totals. So I googled that, got the Cricinfo list and then that was about the fifth match down. Took about two minutes.

Would have done the same except I posted it at midnight and couldn’t be arsed.

Wonder if that’s the only innings to contain three double centuries? Again I can check all 600+ innings, again can’t be arsed right now.

Englands 7/903 contained 3 scores over 169, the highest triple score in a single test cricket innings.

Indias 7/676 v Sri Lanka in the 80’s next best at 163.

Scorecard reminds me of the Clarke 329 game. 3 for nothing and then some absurd partnerships

Clarke really should’ve gone for the record that game. Did the team thing but we ended up winning with a day to spare

Yep.

I can understand Taylor declaring on himself because we'd batted for two days at that point, but Clarke and Warner should have kept going. Warner in particular - it wasn't even tea on day 2.

 

[sabso]

After years of not knowing I finally found sobers’ only 10 wicket match.

The madlad declared behind, wrapped up his ten for then ended up hitting a match winning century after promoting himself to 3.

[kickazz]

Remember being at the pub watching the tail end of that first innings, wondering if they'd get the 400, and they smashed past it by a big margin.

Then checking in on Internet overnight I could see SAF were more than one track to get it.

Punter continuing with M Lewis not his finest moment.

It was an amazing game, but the fact that 400 had never been done before, then both sides exceed 430; I felt the pitch and outfield played a very big part.

This was the early 80s equivalent although it's remarkable how run of the mill the scorecard looks now.

In a partnership of 84 off 8.4 overs, ABDV scored 14 off 20 meaning Gibbs scored at least 70 off 32 in the same time.

Absolutely unheard of in 2006.

This scorecard features an extremely rare, if not unique, achievement.

Morris scores 100 in each innings, a total of 306 runs for the match.....AND.....features in a triple century partnership in each innings as well.
