5 biggest victory margins by runs in Tests

#1 England beat Australia by 675 runs at Brisbane, 1928

This is the biggest victory in the history of Test cricket in terms of runs and what is remarkable about this English victory is that it came about in the 1st Test of the series that took place in Australia. England batted first but in spite of the fact that their top order did not do much, Patsy Hendren’s 169 and useful contributions from the lower middle-order saw them post 521. In their response, Australia found fast bowler Harold Larwood too hot to handle and were all out for 122, with the fast bowler returning figure of 6 for 32.

England did not enforce the follow-on and in their 2nd innings, they declared for 342 for 8. Set to score 748 to win, Australia collapsed and collapsed badly in the 4th innings. Larwood rocked their top order against with early wickets and then Jack White’s spin did the rest as Australia collapsed for only 66 runs. They lost by a hardly believable margin of 675 runs.
