Highest Parternships Centuries In Test Cricket

My latest cricket statistics finding - Rahul Dravid has (highest) 85 test century partnerships followed by Sachin 81 & Ponting 80! But when it comes to 200 or more runs of partnerships in Test, Sachin is ahead with 18, followed by Dravid & Ponting 15 each, Bradman 14!
I found in cricinfo statsguru, some partnership related statistics here in a 2007 article of Players involved in most 100 and 200 partnerships - http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/conte...ry/300539.html. However, as its 3 years old already. According to this, Tendulkar's only been in three triple-century stands.

5: Bradman

4: Jayawardene, Smith, Gibbs, Dravid
3: Inzamam, Javed Miandad, Kallis, Sangakkara, Ponting, Tendulkar, Laxman, Younis Khan
2: Gower, Worrell, Gooch, Sobers, Amla, Trott, Viv Richards, Hutton, Hussey, Mohammad Yousuf, Atapattu, S Waugh, Jayasuriya, Sehwag, Ponsford, Lawr
You can get some more details and how we came to these statistics if you follow the forum thread here -  http://www.cricketfansforum.net/showthread.php?p=386242#post386242
And here is a table which is slightly different than CricInfo's StatsGuru primarily due to how rtetired hurt calculations are done. But we can follow this at a high level considering a little margin of error inevitable due to not all records from past kept in precious details.

India lost comprehensively to South Africa in First Test at Centurion by an innings and 25 runs. The highlights of the match was the most feared opening bowling pair in the world Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel demolishing the famous Indian opening pair Virendar Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, Kallis' first test double ton (201 not out), De Villeirs' fastest test ton as South African (in 75 balls), Amla's another test century (140) and Tendulkar's 50th Test Ton in third innings (111 not our) that took the same to fifth day. One interesting (?!) discussion arouse from the post-match press conference here - http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-v-india-2010/content/story/493570.html
I attended my traffic ticket class in Fremont Holiday Express Inn last weekend. Our instructor is Craig Covtler of Improv Traffic School / Comedy Class is an actor, stand up comedian and musician as well!
I and Ammu started shopping for Rasel's Engagement and Wedding. Rasel's future bride Toma is a doctor and as far as we saw the picture, she looks good from a good family background. The engagement will be done in 21st January when Ammu reached Dhaka at 16th. I, Shusmita, Ahyan and Suhaila will go to New York taking Ammu so that Ammu can go to Bangladesh with Paul who is also going with his wife and daughter at 15h January. So I changed my Ammu's Emirates ticket from San Francisco 9th January to New York 15th January. We will go to New York at 11th January in Delta and come back 16th January in JetBlue. In the meantime, I and Shusmita got our H1/H4 extension approved. I picked Suhail's birth certificate and also recieved her SSN. So my next assignment after sending Ammu to Dhaka with Paul from New York will be to find someone with whom Shusmita and the kids can go to Dhaka at March. After that I will go to Canada, get my US Visa stamped there and then go to Bangladesh in April. Rasel's Wedding and Bouvat is scheduled for 21st and 23rd April respectively. Hope everything works out well.
