donald bradman
he is the only man to have reclaimed the test record score, having scored 375 against england in 1994, a record that stood until matthew hayden's 380 against zimbabwe in 2003. his 400 not out also made him the second player (after donald bradman) to score two test triple-centuries, and the second (after bill ponsford) to score two first-class quadruple-centuries. he has scored nine double centuries in test cricket, third after bradman's twelve and kumar sangakkara's eleven. as a captain, he scored five double centuries, which is the highest by any one who is in charge. in 1995 lara in the test match away series against england, scored 3 hundreds in three consecutive matches which earned him the man of the series award. the test series was eventually drawn 2–2. he also held the record for the highest total number of runs in a test career, after overtaking allan border in an innings of 226 played at adelaide oval, australia in november 2005. this was later broken by sachin tendulkar of india on 17 october 2008 whilst playing against australia at mohali in the 2nd test of the border-gavaskar trophy 2008.
