After the end of the second day of this match, Mulder gave the reason behind not breaking Lara’s record.

“Mulder said,” The first thing is that I thought that we have scored a lot of runs and now we should bowl. The second thing is that Brian Lara is a legend. He made 401 or whichever against England. It is special to have this record with a player of his level. I think I will do the same even if I get this chance again. “

Big scores should be allowed to stay with big players- Wiaan Mulder

Mulder further said, “I was talking to Shuks (South Africa’s head coach Shukri Connarade) and he also told me that big scores should be allowed to stay with big players. You never know what is in my luck, but these records should be with a player like Brian Lara.”
