This is devastating news! I thought that record would stand forever. 21 years is a fair amount of time to hold the record though. I guess records are meant to be broken, like Viv's fastest century eventually was.

Does a West Indian hold any record in test cricket now?

BCL's 401 not out, remember.

That was some act of unselfishness by Captain Mulder. Wonder if that other guy would've done likewise.

... not talking about Bavuma. wink

Following the close of play on Day 2, Mulder elaborated on his decision, stating that Brian Lara is a true legend of the game and deserves to retain his record.

Wow . Very touching
You have just inked your name in the history of cricket
You shall forever be remembered young lad

400 is still higher that 367 the last time i check. There is no guarantee he could’ve break it he also can be out on 399. So for me they need to cut the crap talk .
