Highest run rate in a completed innings in Test Matches

By Sardar Muhammad Rowais

Highest run rate in a completed innings in Test Matches

Surprising we may call it that last time we witnessed the maximum run rate this year that could be enlisted into the highest run rate in test list was in February. The game between New Zealand and Australia at Christchurch had these numbers. As compared to these the lowest run rate for any wicket was seen more recently. That too by the number one test team in the world – Australia. And for the record, the February 2016th heroics by Kiwis are not the best but second highest run rat in History. The highest ever run rate in a completed innings in test match is held by Australia. The most successful cricket team in history almost played at the run rate of an ODI vs South Africa in 1902. Though at that time it was almost like a T20 run rate.

As the time progresses the game of cricket is also catching up the pace. The invention of the most entertaining format of cricket has started to show up its effects on all types of cricket. T20 cricket undoubtedly is the most liked format of the game as it matches the current needs of the hasty world. However the way it is being played has changed the other two formats as well. ODIs and test formats as well are being played with much higher run rates. Keeping in view the trends it is safe to say that it was a surprise not watching a highest run rate game in more recent dates. One reason for that could be that the Test era of cricket has just begun.

At the moment there is a lot of test cricket action going around. Except two or three cricket nations all team are currently busy in playing the most classical version of cricket. So expecting something out of the box such as the highest run rate in an inning would not be irrelevant. Another reason for the dropdown in run rates of test matches might be the retirement of some of the big cricket names. In the last year or so, many legendary cricketers said goodbye to the game. These true run-machines include the hard hitters like Brendon McCullum and stylists like Kumar Sangakkara. Although the gap left by them may not be filled ever, young players still can try to fit in those steps.
