Test Partnership Challenge: Achieving a 400-Run Alliance Among All Batsmen in a Single Match
Crank up the competition, folks! We've got an thrilling *trivia* challenge for you today. This one's a doozy - we want you to name every single batter that's ever teamed up for a 400-run partnership in the epic world of Test cricket. Yeah, you heard that right!
Let's dive into the history books, shall we? The first ever century partnership in Test cricket was between WG Grace and AP "Bunny" Lucas for England against Australia in the inaugural Test match on English soil, at The Oval in 1880.
Fast-forward four years, and it was time for Billy Murdoch and "Tup" Scott to strike back on Australia's behalf, charming fans with their 207 runs for the third wicket - the first double-hundred stand on record.
*Ready for a Twist? The Biggest ODI Partnerships!
You thought that was impressive? Well, wait till you hear about Jack Hobbs and Wilfred Rhodes. They smashed a whopping 323 runs (the first triple-century partnership) in an Ashes Test match in Melbourne during the 1911/12 season.
The 400-run barrier wasn't broken until 1934, this time by a pair of Australian legends - you guessed it, at The Oval.
*Ready for More? The Highest Partnerships by Wicket!
The 400-run milestone has been surpassed 16 times between 1880 and May 15, 2025, with a spree of six partnerships being made between 2003 and 2009.
