Assuming there won't be a reviving last wicket partnership South Africa's scorecard is looking horribly unbalanced. Two centurions and extras as third highest scorer..? Made me think about other lopsided scorecards and here's a classic from a ODI. Any others you can think of?

The last of these was a frankly brilliant innings.

I would guess Sachin has been involved ina few - Viru as well! maybe VVS when he opened the batting in Aus?

Indias first innings in the first test V Sa. A 100, a 50, and a..... 12 as only other double figure score

I thought this was gone from my memory, thanks for bringing it up.

My absolute pleasure

Check out the 1st innings of this match - one of the great Ashes innings?

Great shout Kim. Saffers 1st innings not bad either. India had to ruin it in the second innings with some traditional 2nd innings consistency.

Just for DDB...

The first innings is the one to look at, but Tikolo didn't do too badly in either:

You laughing now but I bet you used to pull out your hair.

The 1989 Ashes series featured numerous lopsided scorecards!
