Highest Test Partnership in the world

[NikhilN]

It is the year 2004...India are touring West Indies for 5 tests and 3 ODIs...1st test was the test everyone in the world would remember till they lived.

West Indies came out to bat first and got off to a good start but crashed later on and were all out for 314

It was time for India to play there best innings with there highest test partnership. Opening batsman S Ramesh and W Jaffer came out to bat and didnt really get anywhere.India were 85-2 when Indias best batsman and Indias second best batsman came out on the field...Tendulkar and Dravid. If you remember Tendulkar and Dravid hold the highest ODI partnership but today they also made it the highest test partnership.Tendulkar and Dravid put up a partnership of 568 runs until Dravid was out for 260.Soon after Dravid went Tendulkar did too at 292.At the end of the innings India dec at 804/5 at the end of day four just wishing that India can bowl West Indies out on the last day.That did not happen and the match was drawn...This partnership lasted 1,765 balls

I always find after a big partnership one player gets out the other one does too

576 runs for the Second Wicket between Roshan Mahanama and Sanath Jayasuriya in 1997 against India at Colombo.

568 is unreal. but 1765 balls?? 2 runs an over that is......cost you the game.

Sorry Guys. You all lose. I cannot get a picture (I'm at work) but I had Mark Butcher and Mark Ramprakash put on 664 for the first wicket inside the second session of day 2...

yeah i reakon, when i get partnerships going they are usually on full agression for a while and end up scoring at least 4 runs an over
