Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh have made a record 4th wicket partnership but felt just two short of breaking Don Bradman and Bill Ponsford’s record for Australia.
Voges and Marsh put on 449 for the fourth wicket against an insipid West Indies in Hobart.
It was Test cricket’s all-time highest fourth-wicket stand, and the sixth-biggest of the near 70,000 partnerships that have ever been compiled in Test history.
Only by two runs did the Bradman-Ponsford record survive, their 451-run effort against England at The Oval in 1934 still the greatest partnership in Australia’s Test history.
Marsh lost his wicket when he was at batting on182 while Voges made unbeaten 269.
