Wiaan Mulder's recent remarkable innings of 367* has sparked considerable discussion and excitement within the cricketing world, prompting many to wonder where this score ranks among the highest individual scores in Test history. While an incredible feat of endurance, concentration, and skill, Mulder's innings, though monumental, does not break into the top tier of Test cricket's highest scores.

The record for the highest individual score in a Test match remains firmly in the grasp of Brian Lara, the West Indies legend, who scored a monumental 400 not out against England in 2004 at Antigua. This innings is widely regarded as one of the greatest batting performances of all time, a testament to Lara's incredible talent and mental fortitude.

Following Lara, the second-highest individual score is held by Matthew Hayden, who smashed 380 against Zimbabwe in 2003. Hayden's innings was a brutal display of power hitting, as he dominated the Zimbabwean attack with his aggressive stroke play.

Brian Lara appears again in the list with his score of 375 against England in 1994, which was the highest at the time, before Hayden surpassed it. Then comes, Wiaan Mulder with 367*.

These scores represent the pinnacle of batting excellence in Test cricket, achieved through a combination of skill, determination, and favorable conditions. While Mulder's score is undeniably impressive, it falls just short of joining this elite group.

It's important to remember that Test cricket records are not just about individual scores; they're about context and impact. A century in a crucial match, or a well-timed fifty that turns the tide of a game, can be just as valuable as a double or triple century scored in a dead rubber. Mulder's innings will undoubtedly be remembered for its quality and the sheer number of runs scored, but its ultimate significance will depend on the impact it has on the match and the series.
