    Dizzy did score a test double-ton but Idk if he never scored another century after that.

    wow, so it was him.

    Give us a clue for the second? Please, Macca? Pretty please 🙏

    That was his only 3 figure score

    He scored the 200 against Bangladesh and it was on foxtel live from Bangladesh ... I distinctly remember watching the innings

    From memory he batted very correctly and it wasn't a swashbuckling innings at all

    And again, no clues on the other Australian!

    The batsman in question scored the double century in Perth

    Is that the match where he came in as nightwatchman? I think I remember it.

    Yeah, you're right ... I'd forgotten that he came in as a nightwatchman

    It's like that TV show 8 out of 10 cats ... everyone gets points and bonus points but they don't count for anything

    Another interesting fact surrounding Gillespie's 200 is that it was the last test he ever played

    Bit like Fred Fanning scoring 18 goals in his last ever game of VFL football

    Well who is it then, Civ?

  • Quote

    I don’t know if he made any further centuries but I know that one of my all-time favourite players made 200 in a Test vs Sth Africa played here in Aus. I can’t remember what year. Early 2000’s(?)  I remember it because Aussie fans were spewing that Ponting held off declaring just so as BRAD HODGE could reach 200. The match was drawn but could’ve been won by Aus had the declaration been made earlier.

    A great Victorian batsman! Brad Hodge.

    Is this the answer? It’s gotta be him.

    Hodge was pretty hard done by imo. Underrated and not respected enough. But then again, he’s a Victorian. So, what’re gonna do? 🤷‍♀️

    Yes well done to Slartibart, Civ & Lex

    Gillespie & Hodge was the correct answer.  Not sure how many Tests Hodgey played after his double hundred but he only played 6 Tests in total

    Averaged 55 as well

    Agreed. Was an amazing team, so lucky to have grown up watching that golden era. Even such a great player in Hodge couldn't break into the team regularly unfortunately.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
