Quiz! Name the players with the highest Test scores in a losing cause since 1945

by Wisden Staff 12 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name the players with the highest individual Test scores in a losing cause since 1945. Can you?

Not all daddy hundreds result in wins. Some of them end up coming in vain. In this quiz, you have to name the batsmen who have scored 150 or more runs in a Test innings but ended up being on the losing side. There are 79 entries in all, since the start of 1945 and a West Indies legend features as many as eight times in the list.

You have 12 minutes to name them all. Just the second names will do.

You’ll do extremely well if you manage over 70.

All the best!
