The highest unbroken partnership in a Test match was between 429runs
Jacques Rudolph 222* on his Test debut and Boeta Dippenaar 177* for
South Africa's third wicket against Bangladesh in Chittagong in April
2003,
also ninth-highest Test partnership of all time. 6th on that list is a 2nd
wicket stand of 446 between Sir Garry Sobers and Conrad Hunte for West
Indies against Pakistan in Kingston in 1957-58, which ended when Conard
Hunte was run out. The Pakistani
fielders were looking a so lethargic after such a long stand, and
Conard Hunte thought there was an easy single when he pushed a ball to
mid-on but the fielder there was Ijaz Butt who had not long before come
on as a substitute and was relatively fresh.
