Overview

• Wiaan Mulder revealed that Brian Lara privately told him records are there to be broken and urged him to target 400* if the chance arises again.
• Mulder says he declared South Africa’s innings at 367* to respect Lara’s achievement and to give his bowlers sufficient time to dismiss Zimbabwe.
• His unbeaten 367 off 297 balls is the highest individual Test score by a South African and the fifth-highest in history.
• Chris Gayle and Ben Stokes have publicly questioned or joked about Mulder’s decision not to pursue Lara’s 400*, describing it as a missed opportunity.
• South Africa secured an innings-and-236-run victory in the second Test at Bulawayo, with Mulder taking three wickets and the winning catch after his record knock.
