Explanation

The highest score on Test debut is 287 runs, scored by English batsman Tip Foster against Australia in 1903-04 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. This remarkable record has stood for over 120 years, despite many talented debutants. Jacques Rudolph's 222* is the closest recent attempt. The other options (182, 199, 255) are all significant debut scores but not the record.
