Mark Taylor was 334 not out at stumps in a Test Match against Pakistan in Peshawar. That score equalled the record for the highest Test score made by an Australian set by Bradman at Leeds in 1930. Taylor declared Australia's innings closed overnight, thus sharing the record with Bradman. Sep 25 03, 11:19 PM

I'm sorry, I think that should be MARK Taylor to differentiate him from all the other Taylors (and Tinkers, Soldiers and Spies) who have played Test cricket for Australia. Sep 26 03, 3:50 AM

He didn't declare for that reason though. He declared because he thought that the declaration couldn't be delayed any further if Australia were going to have any chance of winning the match - they didn't!. http://www.rediff.com/sports/1998/oct/17b.htm http://live.cricinfo.com//link_to_database/ARCHIVE/1998-99/AUS_IN_PAK/SCORECARDS/AUS_PAK_T2_15-19OCT1998.html Jimmy Sep 26 03, 8:59 AM
