Best partnership by brothers

[silentstriker]

This ninth-wicket partnership today got me interested in the topic - what has been the biggest and/or the best partnership by two brothers?

 

[NUFAN]

Like alot of Aussies in particular I straight away thought of the Waugh's 231 partnership against West Indies where Steve Waugh hit his highest test score of 200.

They also shared in an unbeaten 464 run partnership in state cricket too, that would have been some partnership!

 

[The Sean]

The Chappell brothers put in a handy effort in a Test in NZ in 1973/74, each of them scoring centuries in both innings. It was only in the first innings that their partnership was particularly big though - 264 IIRC.

In this game http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/17/17391.html Vijay and Vivek Hazare put on 300 in the Rest’s second innings

Vijay’s 309, at 79.8% of the total, was at the time (and may still be – happen we should Ask the Spider if it still is) a record for monopolising scoring

Surely we first need to establish the best partnership by brothers today before moving onwards.

 

[Chubb]

The Flowers hold the record. Their 269 v Pakistan to set up the first test win was brilliant. It started with Zimbabwe 42-3 and they were not parted for a day's play. Grant ground his way towards a double ton and Andy played the main role with 156 from 245 balls. You can't argue with that.

Haha, was going to post this exact sentence.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The first one I remember was a double century stand by the Chappells at the Oval in 1972.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I remember that massive FC partnership between the Waugh's.

 

[Athlai]

Even Hamish and James managed to score 107 vs Sri Lanka in 2005.

TWIN POWER!!!!

Any one got any ideas of future brother partnerships cropping up? Bravo's should be an exciting one...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Shaun Marsh and his brother (Mitchell?) could be a possibility.

 

[Jigga988]

Guessing you heard something about how good he is, hasn't played an FC game yet though...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Just made 208 in a first grade game last week as a seventeen year old.

Gets my vote!

Grant scored a double [201] and Andy [150+] was superb against the Pakistan in 94/95

 

[wpdavid]

Anything of note by various Mohammeds?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, Lawson declared on them. Mark was happy coz there were races on he wanted to hear. Steve was filthy, swore at Lawson and said "**** you, we could have put on 600".
Nicely sums up the difference between them I guess.

Zimbabwe's first win, yeah?

Did Graeme and Peter Pollock ever share a stand of note?
