Quiz! Every batter to score a quadruple-hundred in first-class cricket

Playing for Hampshire against Surrey at Broadhalfpenny Down in 1775, John Small made 136 not out – the first acknowledged hundred in the history of first-class cricket. It was also the highest recorded score in any cricket at that point.

The first first-class double-hundred was in 1820, by MCC’s William Ward against Norfolk in 1820. He made 278 that day. WG Grace came within 10 runs of that in 1871. Five years later, he hit 344 and 318 not out – the first two triple-hundreds in the format – in the space of eight days.

The 400-run mark was finally breached for the first time in 1895, by a Lancashire batter against Somerset. There was a burst with three more entries – all Australians – in less than a decade in the 1920s, each of which set a new highest score. This included a Victorian who broke his own record.

However, there were only four more entries – three in Asia, one in England – until 1994. Then, a batter hit 500 for the first (and till date, only) time. A decade later, the same batter hit another quadruple-hundred, this time in a Test match.
