South Africa successfully chased 418 runs against Australia at Hobart in 2008, the highest successful fourth innings run chase in Test cricket. India's chase of 418 against the West Indies in 1974 was a first-innings declaration scenario, not a chase.

Australia defeated England by 675 runs at Brisbane in 1928-29, which remains the largest victory margin by runs in Test cricket history. England scored 122 and 309, while Australia made 655 and 343/2 declared.

Sri Lanka scored 443/9 against the Netherlands at Amstelveen in 2006, which is the highest innings total in ODI cricket history. Australia's record chase of 434 was not their highest innings total.

Zimbabwe holds the record for the lowest ODI innings total of 35 all out against Sri Lanka at Harare in 2004. Canada and Bangladesh have had low scores but not the record, while Pakistan's lowest is much higher.
