3 दिन तक की बल्लेबाजी… नाइटवाचमैन ने डबल सेंचुरी ठोककर बनाया विश्व कीर्तिमान, 14 साल से अटूट है महारिकॉर्ड

New Delhi. There are many records in cricket that rarely broken. One of them is the record of batting which was made by Knightwatchman in Test cricket. Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie is known for his deadly bowling, but in batting he has created a maharikard that has not been able to break any batsman in the world for the last 14 years. Gillypi landed as a nightwatchman in Bangladesh and scored 201 runs. Which included 26 fours and 2 sixes. Australia’s team then visited Bangladesh. Then the guests won the first Test and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Australia reached Chittagong for the second Test with increased morale. He was eyeing the second and last Test and was on whitewashing Bangladesh in the series.

The team of Bangladesh, led by Habibul Bashar, collapsed for 197 runs in the first innings of the second Test. Then fast bowler Jason Gilespi dismissed 3 top batsmen from Bangladesh. After this, Matthew Hayden and Phil from Australia landed for the opening. The two shared a 67 -run partnership for the first wicket. After the dismissal of the headon, captain Ricky Ponting sent nightwatchman Jason Gillespi in view of the bad weather and the possibility of rain.

Rohit Sharma never changed his attitude, head coach said- I like this…

Long stature Gillespie landed as a nightwatchman. Without knowing that he is going to create history and is going to be the greatest in ‘Nightwatch’s list’. The purpose of sending Jason Gilespie as a nightwatchman failed as Phil Jacks also got out after 17 overs and Ricky Ponting eventually had to field. The rain hindered the game. When the second day’s game was stopped, Jason Gillespi returned to an unbeaten pavilion after scoring 28 runs.

The next day, the conditions did not change much and cloudy. Due to which the light in the field reduced. But when the game started after lunch, Gillespie showed that they have not lost their glow. Ricky Ponting was runout due to misunderstanding with Jason Gillespie. The two together shared a 90 -run partnership. After this Michael Hussey came on the ground. At that time Gillespie had scored 50 runs off 158 balls. In the final over before the Tea break, Gillespie hit a brilliant drive towards Extra-Cover and completed a century in 296 balls. Again the rain disrupts the game and the remaining overs of the third day could not be completed.

Suraj came out on the fourth day of the match and Hussey started the innings with Gillespi. Both the players batted brilliantly and from time to time, sending the ball across the boundary, tired the bowlers of Bangladesh. There came a time when both Gillespi and Hussey were on their 170s. Then ‘Mr. Cricket’ Hussey’s concentration was disturbed and was dismissed at 182. But his fellow Gillespi continued to move forward with bravery. Ricky Ponting could easily declare the innings as the lead was enough to defeat the hosts by an innings margin, but he did not care about it. He was watching his fast bowler to make a double century and register a name in history.

The time came on the 425th ball of Jason Gillespi’s innings, when he once again became the first batsman to score a boundary in Test cricket and score a double century in Test cricket. It has been 14 years since that record innings. But so far no other nightwatchman has reached close to it. Australia scored 581 runs for 4 wickets in the first innings on the basis of Gillespie’s double century and Hussey’s 182 runs. Australia got a lead of 384 runs in the first innings. After this, the Kangaroo team piled Bangladesh for 304 runs in the second innings and won the match by 80 runs and won the series 2-0.
