Highest total in a Losing cause

595

Bangladesh's total in the first innings in Wellington -

no team has scored more in an innings and gone on to lose the Test.

The previous highest was Australia's 586 against England at the SCG in 1894-95;

Bangladesh had lost after posting 556 against West Indies in 2012-13.

The previous biggest total that resulted in a defeat against New Zealand

was also by Bangladesh: 408 in Hamilton in 2009-10.

This is very West Indian Like  :-[

Kwami , why you remove that Oz India post ?  :-\

recalling 2003.

So sad for tigers

That was because it was already  listed in the stats . I had missed it

even sadder  :-[

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim was hit on the back of the helmet
on the fifth day and had to be taken to hospital.
The incident took place in the 43rd over of Bangladesh's second innings when Tim Southee bowled a bouncer that hit Mushfiqur just behind his left ear as he was trying to duck.
Initial X-rays and scans to his neck suggested he was out of immediate danger.
