Only two batters feature in the top 10 list twice: West Indies’ second-highest run-scorer across formats, and Sri Lanka’s leading run-getter. The West Indian holds the fourth-highest and sixth-highest individual Test scores for his 333 against Sri Lanka (2010) and 317 against South Africa (2005). Another Australian opening great also features on the list, bringing the total number of 300-plus individual scores since 2000 to six. That number increases to 75 when the cutoff is lowered to 200 runs in an innings since the start of the century.
