Wiaan Mulder Smashes 367 But Declares Short of Lara’s Record Out of Respect*

Stand-in South Africa captain Wiaan Mulder stunned cricket fans with a magnificent unbeaten 367 on day two of the second Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo but chose to declare at lunch, walking away from a realistic chance at Brian Lara’s world-record 400*. Mulder said preserving Lara’s iconic milestone “is exactly the way it should be.” In his record-breaking knock, Mulder became only the second South African to score a Test triple-century, surpassing Hashim Amla’s 311*. His composed, song-fueled innings powered South Africa to a mammoth 626/5 declared, before Zimbabwe were made to follow on. Coach Shukri Conrad hailed the innings as a masterclass in temperament, declaring it a performance that set the tone for the entire match.
