Steve Smith remained unbeaten on 200* while Marnus Labuschagne was dismissed on  204 just before lunch on the second day of the first test match between Australia and West at the Perth Stadium in December 2022. It remains to be only the 17th instance when two players have scored a double century each in a single test innings, with the previous incident taking place more than a decade ago.

It comes as no surprise that the last time two players scored 200 in a single innings was also an Australian duo. Two iconic players who have donned the baggy green, Ricky Ponting (221) and Michael Clarke(210), achieved the feat against India at the Adelaide Oval in 2012. Australia went on to score 604/7 before declaring against the Men in Blue 10 years ago.
