Stats: Instances of Number 11 top scoring in an innings of a Test

Ashton Agar celebrates his 50 against England in 2013 Ashes series

There are only 9 instances of such an event happening in the history of Test cricket, with the most recent being Australia’s Ashton Agar scoring a counter-attacking 98 off 101 balls before being dismissed caught at the midwicket boundary miscuing a pull off the bowling of England pace bowler Stuart Broad in an Ashes Test match last year.
