It will be fitting for cricketing great Wiaan Mulder to knock off Laras record.

Well, he moves to 364, equal sixth all time with Hutton.
Took Hutton 847 balls, Mulder 331.

Now on 365, equal fifth all time with Sobers.
Heās 18 runs away from scoring 50% of his previous test runs from 33 innings in a single knock, which includes a 147 he made last test.
Actually, a better break down:
Runs vs Bangladesh and Zimbabwe: 738 at 105.4
Other tests: 413 at 18.0

Please donāt break Laraās record. Nothing against Mulder, but it just wouldnāt be fitting for him to have that accolade.

I think he was complicit in knifing Langer and as a coach I donāt rate him. Others could have easily done the job he has with that bowling attack. Heās ridden their coat tails. Heās failed to develop a good batting lineup and IMO hasnāt set standards or ensured selection integrity regarding batsmen who have continually failed (Warner, Marsh, Marn and now Uzi). Thatās just my opinion- Iām sure you think otherwise; which is totally fine.

So when the younger players donāt play well itās because McDonald hasnāt coached them properly but when the senior players play well he has ridden their coat tails?
Your hatred of the man is a bit odd.

Haha, nice one.
Jokes aside, he also made 12,000 Test runs at 53, with 34 100s. So he was pretty good, against the minnows and otherwise.

Props to Mulder, heās captaining them in this match and he was a real chance to grab that record. Glad it is staying with Lara.
