Brilliant innings that.Sudeep said:Not too sure.
If it fades when compared to this:
Hayden scored more runs in one innings than the other team did in two innings combined.

How sad...Scallywag said:Is that the first time a batsman has done that?.
C_C said:from a cursory glance, this is not the only instance.
For one, Matty Hayden did it in Sharjah against the same opposition.
There are other instances that i've come across ( cannot say if this is the complete list or not).
Elias Hendren of ENG scored more runs than the OZ side in the timeless match in 1928...which remains the biggest victory margin in terms of runs ( ENG won by 675 runs).
He scored 169 & 45 ( total of 214 runs in the test) and AUS managed 122 and 66 all out ( total of 188).
Gordon Greenidge did it against ENG in Old Trafford 1976 where he scored 134 and 101(total of 235) and ENG were bundled out for 71 and 126 ( total of 197)
Len Hutton did it against against the aussies in 1938 Oval match where he scored his the-then world record 364.
He didnt bat in the 2nd innnigs (ENG having racked up a humongous 903/7 declared) but AUS managed 201 in the first innings and 123 in the second ( a total of 324 runs).
Inzamam Ul-Haq did it in 2002 Gaddhafi stadium test vs the kiwis, where he scored 329 and the kiwis in response scored 73 all out and 246 all out ( a total of 319 runs).
Bradman did it in the Brisbane 1948 match against India, where he scored 185 and the Indians could only manage 58 all out and 98 all out ( a total of 156 runs).
there may be other instances but these are the ones i could find with a few minutes of research.
Why? Because Pakistan lost?GoT_SpIn said:How sad...
Whos liamRichard said:If it has happened before I can't believe it'll have happened too many times... Liam's point makes sense.

Seems like a good one for him, if someone sends it in.
