South Africa's Wiaan Mulder has revealed that Brian Lara urged him to break his test scoring record if he ever gets another chance.

"Now that things have settled a little bit, I've chatted a little bit to Brian Lara," Mulder told SuperSport. "He said to me I'm creating my own legacy and I should have gone for it. He said records are there to be broken and he wishes if I'm ever in that position again, I actually go and score more than what he had.
