Two batsmen scoring double centuries in the same innings

West Indies

Chanderpaul was the Man of the Match in that Test against SA

West Indies are among the four countries who have had two batsmen scoring double centuries in the same innings more than once. The two instances were spread across almost 50 years.

Gary Sobers' 365* (then a world record score) and Conrad Hunte' 260 against Pakistan at Jamaica in 1958 was the first time it had happened. West Indies won that game by an innings and 174 runs.

The second it happened was also in West Indies, but this time in Guyana against South Africa in 2005. Wavell Hinds and Shivnarine Chanderpaul were the batsmen who made merry as the hosts put on 543/5 before they declared. However, inclement weather and some stoic resistance from South Africa meant that the game ended in a draw.
