Wiaan Mulder in Action for South Africa South African stand-in Captain Wiaan Mulder explained the justification of his selfless decision to declare shift to 626/5 during the second test against Zimbabwe, although he was at a touch distance from the iconic record of Brian Lary for the highest individual scores in the test cricket. Mulder remained undefeated on Monday of 367 out of 334 balls at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Lara is undefeated 400, scored against England in 2004, still standing as the highest individual test score, and Mulder showed that he has no regrets about needing his team in front of personal milestones. “At first I thought we had enough and we had to mix. And second, Brian Lara is a legend, let’s be real. He got 401 or whatever it was against England.“I think if I got a chance again, I would probably do the same. I know I’m talking to the head coach Shukri Conrad, he told me as if listening, let the legends keep a really big score,” he added.

Did Wiaan Mulder have the shifts to declare?
Despite the historical performance of Mulder, he explained that personal records were not a priority. “You never know how my destiny is or what you want to call, what is for me. But I think Brian Lara keeps this record exactly as it should be,” he said.
