Barnes 234, Bradman 234 — The Identical-Score 405 at Sydney, December 1946
Australia v England
1946-12-17
On 17 December 1946 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sid Barnes and Don Bradman put together 405 for the fifth wicket against England — and were both out for exactly 234, an identical-score coincidence Barnes later admitted was deliberate. The stand remains the world Test record for the fifth wicket, was at the time the highest partnership for any wicket in Ashes cricket, and helped Australia to an innings win that effectively decided the post-war series.
