Prolific Partnerships

Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf did recently become Pakistan's most prolific partnership: by the end of the series against India they had put on 3080 runs together, beating the previous record of 3013 by Yousuf and Inzamam-ul-Haq. But they are quite a long way down the overall Test list, which is headed by Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, who put on 6482 runs together, not far ahead of Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer (6081). The ODI list is headed, not surprisingly, by Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar, who have put on 8227 runs together for India, well ahead of the next pair, Marvan Atapattu and Sanath Jayasuriya (5462). In the short history of Twenty20 internationals, the top pair are Australia's Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, with 398 runs between them. For what it's worth, there's a full list here.
