Hanif Mohammads triple century

The start of the longest Test innings of all time, Hanif Mohammad’s 970-minute marathon for Pakistan at Bridgetown. Following on 473 runs in arrears, Hanif ground down West Indies' bowlers on his way to 337 made over three days as the match ended in a draw. Hanif disputes his record, maintaining that he actually batted for 999 minutes. His captain, Abdul Kardar, encouraged him by leaving notes saying "You are our only hope," and "Keeping fighting. Don't give up,” stuck to his bedroom mirror.

Could it be the best inns ever - keeping in mind that it is the highest innings to save a test.
