Wally Hammond's 93-Year-Old Record: Fastest Test Triple Century by Time
•England's Wally Hammond holds the record for the fastest Test triple century by time, achieving it in 288 minutes (4 hours 48 minutes) in 1933.
•Hammond scored an unbeaten 336 runs against New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland, hitting 34 fours and 10 sixes.
•This record surpassed Don Bradman's 1930 feat by 48 minutes, which took 336 minutes to reach 300 runs.
•Virender Sehwag holds the record for the fastest triple century by balls faced (278 balls), but Hammond's time-based record remains unbroken for 93 years.
•Hammond's innings also set records for the most sixes and the highest individual score for England in Tests at that time.
