Cricket records unlikely to be broken

Graham Gooch scoring 456 runs in one test

Graham Gooch

A bizarre decision by the Indian skipper to field first in a test match against England at Lords in 1990 proved to be a costly mistake as his opposite number made India pay severely. In delightful batting conditions, Gooch scored 333 in the first innings, which is the highest ever score at Lord's and followed it up with 123 in the second innings as England won the match by 247 runs.
