Wasim Akram 257 vs Zimbabwe (All 12 SIXES 6's)
- 9 years ago
On October 20th 1996, Wasim Akram, more renowned for his wizardry with the ball, produced an incredible innings of 257* against Zimbabwe batting at no 8. It remains the highest score by a no.8 batsman in Test cricket.
At the time, his knock contained the most sixes in a Test innings, while his partnership of 313 for the 8th wicket with Saqlain Mushtaq was also a record before being surpassed by Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad in 2010.
Sometimes easy to forget that our legendary left-armer was also quite handy with the bat!
