When Australia captain Mark Taylor gave a tribute to Don Bradman with his declaration | Cricket News

The Peshawar Test during Australia‘s tour of Pakistan in 1998 ended in a tame draw on a flat deck that saw over 1400 runs scored in the match, including four hundreds, one of which was a triple century by Aussie skipper Mark Taylor.
Batting first, Australia reached 599 for 8 at the end of day two. Taylor, opening the batting, was unbeaten on 334, which incidentally was also the highest score scored by the batting legend, Sir Don Bradman.
Taylor had decided to bat for a few more minutes on the third morning before declaring, but he realised that fans and experts might see this as a decision to break Bradman’s record. The thought led to Taylor declaring the innings, which earned him lifelong respect from the cricket fraternity around the world.
Justin Langer, batting at No. 3, also scored a century (116) in the match and stitched a partnership of 279 runs with Taylor.
Pakistan too plundered runs in response, led by centuries from Saeed Anwar (126) and Ijaz Ahmed (155).
Skipper Aamer Sohail declared the Pakistan innings at 580 for 9.
The fate of the match was virtually sealed by then as Australia reached 289/5 in their second innings, and the match ended in a draw.
Australia, however, went on to win the series.
