Mulder's reasoning doesn't resonate with me at all."Let legends keep the records"

By that logic, if you are playing a strong team in a final, ensure that you deliberately lose the game, cause the strong men ought to win.

That apart, the innings was pure class. Wish the record could have rumbled here. Anyway, the cricket World will wait another day for the record to be created.

I fully agree. He could've legitimately batted another full day and not created any issues for SA trying to win the game

Chance missed. Records are meant to be broken. Weird decision really.

It was definitely not his decision 100%, coaches must have talked him into it, he's a vice to vice captain only leading them because the c and vc are injured, he won't have much say in this. He was literally going strong on 367 and nothing about the way he was scoring suggested he was planning to leave that 400. The game itself wasn't even 25% complete, and with the 1st innings being 25% of the full game he didn't even need to declare until even later, ASSUMING that every other innings would also take the same amount of time (which itself didn't end up being true). So he didn't really do the team any big favour, just did the zimbabwean bowlers one by giving them a break (probably would've made some of them lose the will to play at that point)

Lara called Jay Shah and said- If Mulder breaks my record, I will make myself available for the next WI Test match and break Mulder's record



The next WI test match- note the ground!

Only bad things happen at that ground.

For example - WC 2023 Final and IPL 2025 Final

Bring back Rahkeem on that pitch and let him wreak havoc.

It is actually the very ground where the Aussies World Cup juggernaut was stopped in 2011. What a game, that was! I guess renaming and relaying the pitch didn't work in India's favour thereafter.
