I doubt many watched Sobers’ innings. Single digits most likely.

I saw none of them so I couldn't possibly comment.

Anyone on here watch any of them live/more than 1?

I watched the lara 375 and from ball one and it seemed inevitable

shame this one was missed off the list it’s the most recent I think

Harry Brook tops 300 as free-scoring England break records in first Test

The tourists totalled 823 for seven against Pakistan in Multan.

Mwhy out Sobers if you are ignoring older knocks? Hanif Mohammed's triple is the best IMO. Following on to save a game.

Out if these, I take Lara.

There doesn't seem to be much agreement on the greatest Test triple century. Highest ranked in various lists below. Most recent list first.

Anantha Narayanan (2024) - McCullum 302 v India 2014
Days of Grace (2024) - McCullum 302 v India 2014
Cricreads (2023) - Hanif 337 v West Indies 1958
Cricinfo (2023) - Hanif 337 v West Indies 1958
The Roar (2020) - Bradman 334 v England 1930
Patrick Ferriday Book (2013) - Sehwag 319 v South Africa 2008
ICC (2010) - Sobers 365* v Pakistan 1958
Wisden (2001) - Lara 375 v England 1994
Derek Lodge Book (1982) - Bradman 334 v England 1930

The Independent's Top 30 innings (2019) didn't include a triple hundred. Highest score was Viv Richards' 291 v England in 1976, which came in at number 24.

Triple tons are generally scored on flatbeds, rarely the most challenging of knocks. I’d throw in Brook’s, scored at such a rate that it allowed a team that conceded 550 to win by an innings before Lunch on Day 5.

I like that Inzy scored more than New Zealand in the test match where he scored 329.

Karun Nair only scoring 71 runs in his test career other than his 303* is also mad.
