List of highest individual scores in cricket information
A. E. J. Collins' record of 628 not out stood for over 100 years.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game that originated in England around the 16th century. It is played between two teams, with each trying to score as many runs as they can, across one or two innings. Records for early cricket matches are incomplete and often non-existent, especially for very minor matches, but cricket historians have still attempted to trace the history of the "highest single innings score by a batsman in any class of cricket".[1]
John Minshull scored the first recorded century in 1769, scoring 107 runs. The record was broken twice in the following ten years, but then stood for almost 30 years before Lord Frederick Beauclerk scored 170 runs in 1806. William Ward scored 278 runs for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1820 to claim the record, which was the last time that the highest score was made during a match regarded as being first-class. His record was surpassed by just one run in a minor match in Essex before Edward Tylecote scored the first quadruple century in cricket, accruing 404 runs during a House match at Clifton College. Three further quadruple centurions increased the record in the 1880s.
In 1899, A. E. J. Collins scored 628 runs in another House match at Clifton College to claim the record, in an innings which spanned four afternoons. His record stood for over 116 years, until Pranav Dhanawade became the first player outside of England to make a record score. Batting for his school in the HT Bhandary Challenge Trophy, Dhanawade scored 1,009 runs from just 327 balls.
