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 -
It's like that TV show 8 out of 10 cats ... everyone gets points and bonus points but they don't count for anything
-
A 2nd clue He's a Victorian
-
Yeah, you're right ... I'd forgotten that he came in as a nightwatchman You receive a bonus point
-
Ok a clue The batsman in question scored the double century in Perth
-
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!
-
Yes, Gillespie is one of the 2 Well done!

No clues Civ!

@ANG13 @Lexinator @hardtack @Jumping Jack Clennett @leave it to deever @dl4e @Slartibartfast @WalkingCivilWar @H_T @grazman @DutchDemons @Jara Glenn Maxwell's classic double hundred reminds me of the 2 Australians who both scored 200's in test cricket but never scored another century! It's actually happened 7 times with Reginald Foster (way back when) scoring a massive 287 but never reached 3 fugures any other time So who are the 2 Aussies? We're working on an honour system here so googling is not allowed!!

Great nickname too ... Bison! Suits him to a T! He really smacks the ball He could make a big 100 tonight (mozz factor de-activated!) Nice hitout tonight prepping for the big SF against South Africa ... and the match will almost certainly be played next Thursday. With India to play NZ in the other SF on the Wednesday

Oaks day tomorrow and Zardozi ($3) will be hard to beat in the feature event Dangers might come from Basilinna, Aethelflaed & Amazonian Lass (all at value odds) Tropical Squall has claims as well

Recorded and now watching from 7-112 (Maxwell could have been out 3 times in the last 10 minutes!) Did listen to the broadcast throughout the night and fell asleep (again) when we needed 60 off 60 (or thereabouts) The innings is certainly one for the ages and high praise indeed from Sachin Tendulkar, describing the knock as the best he's seen at ODI level Edit: Just finished watching 'The Innings' ... truly amazing and when considering that his whole body was cramping, quite incredible!! I've never seen anything like it although there are parallels with the late Dean Jones' double century in Madras in 1986 Glenn Maxwell take a bow!

Beating England is always joyous! We're now playing some very good cricket with games against Afghanistan & Bangladesh to come India play South Africa tonight which should be a beauty. India look strong but anything can happen in white ball cricket ... it's a lot like a baseball game in that sense One bowler or one batsman gets hot and the game sways
-
Matilda's just a must watch these days. There's something magical about how they play and they're great to watch Holding on to the ball, winning it back, the precision passing and the creativity is tremendous The first goal to Mary Fowler tonight was a gem. Taiwan were very brave but the Matilda's are on a roll
-
Ha! We're all getting caught out on trap games ... but trap games aren't easily identified! The good news is that this week is there aren't any trap games but if anyone can come up with 3 road winners, they'll probably pick up a well deserved bonus point

Here's a movie that slipped past previously but upon watching the film the other night, it was well worth watching Nothing glitzy about it either. Just a story about an idealistic lawyer running for the senate in California. Redford plays his part superbly Looks like the movie is out in the public domain (at least for now)

Maxwell 100 off 40 balls - incredible! Sets a new record ... power and clean hitting & reverse pull shots the highlights The Dutch were plucky and they fielded exceptionally well but they couldn't contain Warner & Maxie Assuming the Aussies go on to win the match, we should be able to set up a buffer (run rate & W/L record) in order to qualify for a SF berth
