10 times a batsman scored two centuries in a Test but still ended up on the losing side

#7 Clyde Walcott (1955)

Clyde Walcott made his debut in 1948.

Clyde Walcott was one of the fiercest strikers of a cricket ball. Having made his debut in January 1948, Walcott scored his maiden ton in November in the same year against India in Delhi. In his 30th Test match, he scored centuries in both innings to help West Indies draw the game against Australia (2nd Test of the series) in Port-of-Spain in April 1955.

In the 5th Test of the same series, Walcott once again scored twin centuries but this time it went in vain. Batting first, the Barbados wicketkeeper-batsman scored 155 and helped Windies post 357 in the first innings. Australia then scored a mammoth 758. Trailing by 401 runs, none of the Windies batsmen barring Sir Garry Sobers and Clyde Walcott could stand tall. Walcott scored his second ton of the game but West Indies crumbled to an innings defeat.
