\"\" <\/p>\n

In this quiz<\/a>, you have to name every batter to score at least 200 runs in a single day of men’s Test cricket.<\/p>\n

Test cricket has been around for nearly 150 years, but a single batter scoring over 200 runs in a single day’s play is still quite rare. Often it requires a combination of a good wicket, some not-so-good bowling, some luck, and a game situation that allows it \u2013 apart from the batter’s own skill.<\/p>\n

This has happened on 51 occasions thus far, most recently during the course of a South African captain’s triple-century which ended in a hotly debated declaration. This was another record he could have broken.<\/p>\n
