In 1966, a batsman played a brilliant inning of 307 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which is the highest score made by any batsman in Test cricket on this ground. This record has not been broken by any player till now. That batsman was Bob Cowper, who played this innings against England.
Batsman with the record for the biggest Test innings at Melbourne Cricket Ground:
Bob Cowper – 307 runs
Don Bradman – 270 runs
Graham Yallop – 268 runs
Ricky Ponting – 257 runs
Justin Langer – 250 runs
India's record in the last 10 years is excellent
The batsmen of India and Australia will have a big challenge to perform well on this ground. Although it is difficult to break the record of 307 runs, playing a good innings is also a challenge in itself. Melbourne's pitch is famous for its bounce. Recently, India has defeated Australia in the last two test matches played here, due to which now there will be more pressure on the Australian team.
