Yes I believe Bradman and Fingleton's stand of 346 was the highest remaining unbroken stand in terms of years.

However the 5th wicket partnership once again starring The Don and Sid Barnes of 405 has remained unbroken for 63 years. So if this partnership remains at the top for 10 more years then it will overtake Bradman and Fingleton's efforts-http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/…
