10 great batsmen who bagged a pair in Tests

ALLAN BORDER

Border was the leading run getter in Tests before being surpassed by Brian Lara.

The Australian team went through a wave of resurgence post 1985, including the World Cup win of 1987, and shaped into a set of world beaters over the next decade. Allan Border was the face of the resurgence, captaining the side through a rough period in the beginning. Known for his combative and rugged batting, he holds the record for playing most Test without taking a break (153).

The second batsman to reach 10,000 Test runs, Border bagged a pair at the fag end of his career, against the West Indies at Perth in 1993. He retired from Test cricket an year later.
