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 ๐Ÿ™ย

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!


Ok a clue

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.ย

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

You receive a bonus point

A 2nd clue

He's a Victorian

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?


I donโ€™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 canโ€™t remember what year. Early 2000โ€™s(?) ย 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 couldโ€™ve been won by Aus had the declaration been made earlier.ย

A great Victorian batsman! Brad Hodge.

Is this the answer? Itโ€™s gotta be him.ย

Was too busy watching Marsh dispatch 6s all over the place! ๐Ÿ˜

Hodge was pretty hard done by imo. Underrated and not respected enough. But then again, heโ€™s a Victorian. So, whatโ€™re gonna do? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธย

He barely broke a sweat. Made short work of it. Bring on the semi!!!

ย 

Yes well done to Slartibart, Civ & Lex

Gillespie & Hodge was the correct answer.ย  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.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
