#3 Highest score in a debut test innings
England’s Reginald Foster scored an incredible 287 runs in his very first Test innings, against Australia at Sydney in 1902-03.
It will take a brave man to say that this record will be broken. After all, it has been standing for 115 years. This was Foster’s only century in his eight test match career. It's sad that he passed away at a young age of 35.
In the past century, only South Africa's Jacques Rudolph has come close to breaking this record. He scored 222 runs in his first test innings against Bangladesh.
