Mulder mauls meek Zimbabwe
The Star
|July 08, 2025
WIAAN Mulder broke numerous Test cricket records on Monday with an unbeaten 367 on Day 2 of the second Test between South Africa and Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
The 27-year-old now holds several historic milestones: the highest score by a player in their first match as captain, the highest score by a player away from home, the highest ever score by a No 3 batter, the third-highest Test score by a captain, the best strike-rate for a triple century, the fifth-highest Test score in history, and the highest Test score by a South African.
One of the records that appeared to hold personal meaning for Mulder — or perhaps even caused a twinge of regret — was surpassing Hashim Amla's 311, which previously stood as the highest score by a Proteas batter in Tests.
Amla has served as batting coach at the Lions, the domestic side where Mulder has spent most of his career.
"(I was sad) a little bit," Mulder admitted, after the day's play.
