In a brilliant display of batsmanship. the southpaw went on to break the record for the highest individual score in Tests. He literally toyed with the English bowling line up notching up a breathtaking triple century. The score was later broken by Mathew Hayden with the former clinching it again a decade later with a quadruple century. The innings was decorated with 45 boundaries.

England also went on to score 593 in their 1st innings with Michael Atherton and Robin Smith scoring brilliant centuries.
