Wiaan Mulder, who stopped short on Monday of attempting to break the record for the highest score in Test history, had an inauspicious start to his Test career. On Monday he went past Len Hutton (364) and Garry Sobers (365 not out) -– two all-time greats who both held the record for the highest score for many years.

Wiaan Mulder made an unbeaten 367, the fifth-highest Test score ever, but declared before surpassing Brian Lara’s world record of 400* in Bulawayo.

Wiaan Mulder, captaining South Africa for the first time in only his 21st Test, posted the fifth-highest individual Test score by blasting an unbeaten 367 off 334 balls in Bulawayo against Zimbabwe. His innings comprised 49 fours and four sixes before South Africa declared at 626 for 5 during the lunch break on day two of the second Test.
