Brian Lara’s 400 vs England: The Untold Story of Test Cricket’s Biggest Record

By Charanpal Singh Sobti August 25, 2025 • 08:48 AM View: 12003

Brian Lara made 400 not out in 2004 against England in Antigua, setting a world record as West Indies piled up 626 for five. Just a few days ago, South Africa’s stand-in captain Wiaan Mulder had a fair chance to rewrite history. He was on 367 not out, only 34 runs short of Lara’s record, but chose not to pursue it and declared instead.

“Brian Lara is a legend. Lara keeping that record is exactly the way it should be,” Mulder said after the end of play.
