THE BIGGEST SCORE: In a Sheffield Shield game in last week of 1926, Victoria made 1107 runs in their first innings against New South Wale at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It’s just the second instance of a four-figure score in a First Class cricket match. The first four entries on the scorecard read as follows: Woodfull 133, Ponsford (in pic) 352, Hendry 100 and Ryder 295. Victoria bettered their own record of 1059, made four seasons earlier against Tasmania at the same ground. The closest any team has come to bettering these marks is when Sri Lanka punished India for three days in the Colombo Test of 1997, making a mind-boggling score of 952-6.
