    'You’ve Blown It Big Time, That Doesn't Happen Often', Gayle Slams Mulder For Not Breaking Brian Lara's Record

    By IANS News July 09, 2025 • 14:22 PM View: 644
    Brian Lara: West Indies legend Chris Gayle slams stand-in South Africa captain Wiaan Mulder for missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by not attempting to surpass Brian Lara's Test record in the second Test against Zimbabwe by scoring 400. 

    Mulder cruised to 367 not out at lunch on the second day of the second Test against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo and had Lara's score of 400 not out within his sights with South Africa in command.

    But Mulder decided against chasing the record and instead opted to declare the Proteas' first innings at 626/5, leaving Lara's record for the highest score in Test cricket to remain. He was 34 runs away from creating a world record in Test cricket before he declared the innings at lunch.
