Top 10 Highest individual scores in losing cause in Tests

5. Graeme Pollock – 209:

South Africa’s cricketer of the century, Graeme Pollock was one of the best batsmen ever produced by the Proteas. It was the second Test Match at Capetown in the summer of 1967 which saw the Aussies tour, South Africa. After putting up a mammoth score of 542 in the first innings, the Kangaroos left the Proteas hanging at 85-5. Pollock was still at the crease but handicapped with one leg as he pulled a hamstring muscle. The brilliant batsman that he was, Pollock still managed to rile up an individual score of 209 with a lion-hearted effort that eventually ended in a losing cause. Nevertheless, the legacy had been established.
