Brian Lara Yesterday he went to the summit of cricket becoming the first man to make a quadruple-century in a Test innings. Lara’s unconquered 400 proclaimed beyond doubt his status as the modern game’s No.1 player. Article dated Monday 12, April-2004 http://www.caribzones.com/testmatchnews.html 400* - Brian Lara West Indies v England, St John's, 2003-04 Ten years after his 375, Lara returned to Antigua. The circumstances were different: West Indies had been walloped 3-0, and Lara himself, by now 34 and captain, was under intense pressure to avert an unthinkable whitewash. And Lara, with barely a false stroke, became the first man to regain the top spot, hitting 43 fours and four sixes as he reclaimed the record - and West Indian pride - on his way to the first Test quadruple-century. http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/134344.html Charles Bannerman scored the first test century. Billy Murdoch, who played for both Australia and England scored the first test double century (he also hit the first ever six in test cricket). Andy Sandham of England scored the first triple century (in what was his last test match), and Brian Lara has scored the only quadruple century. http://www.crictrivia.com/RecordsGalore.html [Added reference links - McG] Apr 18 04, 2:35 AM
