Graham Gooch 333 v India, Lord's, 1990

Uploaded by englandsonemanarmy on Jan 11, 2008
Great batsmen consistently fail to score 456 runs in a series. Good ones often don't score that many in a Test career. Graham Gooch did it in one Test match. Unsurprisingly it remains a record and, while the pitch was an absolute shirtfront and produced 1,603 runs, rarely has a batsman gone about his business as remorselessly as Gooch, who was just starting a patch of the deepest purple (over the next two and a half years he would average 65 from 21 Tests). Against a limited but far from useless attack he oozed authority, taking advantage of an early reprieve to stand and deliver the seamers, Kapil Dev, Manoj Prabhakar and Sanjeev Sharma, to all parts. The spinners, Ravi Shastri and Narendra Hirwani, were treated with even greater contempt, swatted to various points from long-on to cow corner. Gooch eased to 333 and looked set to beat Garry Sobers's Test-record 365 when he waved wearily at Prabhakar and was bowled.
He added another 123 - at more than a run a ball, which was unheard of in those days - in the second innings and, for good measure, sealed England's victory with a dead-eyed run-out of Sharma.

Gooch is miles better than that idiot KP, this innings was against a poor attack but what he did in 1991 against the Windies KP could only dream off.
