Australia: The Australian cricket team is considered one of the most dangerous teams in the world. Australia is currently the world champion. Before this, Australia has won a total of 6 World Cup titles in ODI cricket. Along with this, they have won one T20 World Cup and one Test Championship title. It is very difficult for any team in the world to win against Australia.
During the 1998 Test match between Pakistan and Australia, Australia captain Mark Taylor remained unbeaten on 334 runs at the end of the second day of the Test match. On 16 October 1998, Mark Taylor became only the fourth Australian to score a triple century in Test cricket.
The Australian captain equalled the highest Test score of the great Sir Donald Bradman by remaining unbeaten on 334 runs on the second day of the second Test against Pakistan. In this match, Taylor faced 564 balls and hit 32 fours and a six.In the 1998 test match between Pakistan and Australia in Peshawar, Australia batted first and scored 599 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. During this innings, captain Mark Taylor scored 334 runs. However, Pakistan came out to bat later and scored 580 runs for the loss of 9 wickets.
After this, Australia scored 289 runs in the second innings and the match was drawn.Triple centuries are great for records but rarely help a team win a match. 58% of matches in which a batsman has scored a triple century end in a draw. In 1998, when Australia's Mark Taylor was unbeaten on 334 at the end of the second day of a Test match against Pakistan, he was faced with a big dilemma. The Australian captain finished the second day of the second Test against Pakistan with 334 not out. The score equalled Sir Donald Bradman's Australian record score.
