Test cricket: all-time highest successful 4th innings run chases
High run chases in the fourth and final innings of a cricket test match are notoriously difficult given the time constraints and deteriorating pitch. The highest successful fourth innings run chase of all time in test cricket belongs to the West Indies - in 2003, the team chased down Australia's target of 418 runs for the loss of seven wickets thanks to centuries from Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
