Is it anything to do with runs in a losing cause?

 

[Engle]

Is it anything to do with runs in a losing cause?

Bingo !

In 1924/5, Herbert Sutcliffe scored 176 and 127 (303 runs) vs Australia, the most number of runs in a losing cause.

In Sept/2001, Andy Flower scored 142 and 199* (341 runs) in a loss to S.Africa to beat Sutcliffes record.

In Nov/2001, Brian Lara scored 221 and 130 (351 runs) in a loss to S.Lanka exceeding AFlower’s record within a few months.

Well done. I suspect Tapioca knew this as well with his question.
