In a historic match Zimbabwe played their first Test match at the WACA Ground on 9-13 October in 2003. The match was dominated by Matthew Hayden's world record 380 runs hitting 11 sixes and 38 fours. Western Australia's Adam Gilchrist also hit 113 not out before Australia declared at 6/735, eventually winning by an innings and 175 runs. Matthew Hayden broke Brian Lara's existing world record which he would reclaim shortly after hitting 400 against England later that season.
