RJ Shastri 206 572 477 17 2 43.18 2 v Australia Sydney 2 Jan 1992 (IIRC) Trivia on that innings - Ravi Shastri ended up taking the crease on all 5 days of that match. May be this is the only one of its kind incident.
I think you have confused this with another Ravi Shastri innings. Just in case, here are all the players who batted on each day of a Test match. ML Jaisimha from India was the first one to do so. Batting on each day of a five day match No code has to be inserted here.

Brian Lara ended up 8 times on the losing side despite scoring more than 200 runs in a Test match. The next on that list is Andy Flower and Ricky Ponting - 3 times.

hmm, right.. i just remembered that Shashtri has that record, and was slow player, and it must have been at least a double hundred :) and may be because the newspaper published bunch of Ravi's records, when he played that double hundred so my memory registers stored some sort of association.

The last right handed opening batsman to score an #Ashes century before Joe Root was Michael Vaughan 183 at SCG in Jan 2003

Tendulkar 203 SSC Colombo -2010 List of Indian Batsmen with 200+ scores (away) No code has to be inserted here. The first person to score a 200 for India away in Test matches is Dilip Sardesai (father of Rajdeep Sardesai on CNN IBN fame).
So in one year between December 2003 and December 2004, we scored as many away double hundreds as we scored in the first 64 years of Test cricket.

That is mostly because England U19 players are piss poor. Just one day ago, they lost a ODI match against the bangladesh colts @ home :laugh:
