5 Times the number 11 top-scored in a Test match innings

#2 Bert Vogler against England at Cape Town, 1906

Bert Vogler (Middle row: 2nd from right)

The bowler, who could bowl medium pace and off-spin, with the action of a leg-spin bowler, was one of the early greats of South African cricket. However, in 1906, it was his abilities as a batsman that went a long way in South Africa defeating England at Cape Town. Batting first England had been shot out for 187 but South African themselves were ahead by 52 when Vogler came into bat.

Along with captain Percy Sherwell, he added 94 for the last wicket and took the score to 333. Vogler batted for 75 minutes and hit 5 boundaries, in addition to 3 sixes to end as the top scorer in the innings for South Africa. The score proved to be enough as England were then dismissed for 130 and the hosts won the game by an innings and 16 runs.
