    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.

    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: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
