Quiz! Batsmen With Most Runs In A Lost Test Match Since 1970
by Wisden Staff 10 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name every batsman who has scored at least 200 runs in a Test match since 1970 and yet ended on the losing side.

The list contains tallies from both innings of the Test match, with the batsman at the top scoring 351 runs in the game and still be on the losing side. In fact, this unlucky West Indies batsman appears eight times on the list!

With some batsmen repeating in the list, your task becomes easier. Overall, there are 51 entries in the quiz, but just 36 unique names to guess.

As hints, you’re given their individual scores in both innings, plus their run tally for the match. Additionally, you also have the game and the year it was played in.

You have 10 minutes to name them all. Just surnames will also work.

Good luck!
