if I were you I would have got the record. Leaving him stranded on 368* was just silly. If I have a batsmen doing well, I just bat on and on and on and on and on. I've never been to worried about winning tests. Winning series is way is way more. Usually I win most series 1-0, because I always bat for way too long and I draw heaps of games.

the thing is I didnt remember that I was about to set the record until the inning was over :P

I have scored 409* with S. Tendulkar off 555 balls before A. Nehra was run out for 8 leaving Sachin stranded. Total Score was 690 a/o. My highest score is 3/1035 declared but that's on easy against MCC with Australia.
