I just opened up cricinfo, and Dizzy is on 149, Hussey 158.

Christ.

200?

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:34 pm**

He is 150 no - could he possibly get a maiden 200!!!

Gillespie, JN N.O 155

Balls faced: 372
4's: 23
6's: 1

Hussey, ME N.O 160
Balls faced: 186
4's: 20
6's: 0

Extras: (b10, lb10, wd4, nb3) 27
Total: (3 wickets, 133.5 overs) 489

Dizzy is on fire!!!

No disrespect to Dizzy (I think this is great!!!), but if he gets to 200, Taslim Arif may lose the title as the worst batsman ever to score a test double century

Dizzy now 169 not out.
Aust. 511/3

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:57 pm**

Hussey just overtook Dizzy

Aus 3/522

Gillespie 172* (383)
Hussey 176* (198)

Hopefully we have two double ton's before a declaration. Overall lead of 325.

It would be great to see his highest score be a greater number than his total wickets!

Haha, Mark Waugh never got a double-ton.

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:24 pm**

181* now

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:40 pm**

Lunch on day 4.

4/558

Gillespie 186*, the highest score ever by a nightwatchman. and the highest score by an Australian against Bangladesh.
He beats Mike Hussey who scored 182 with him in a partnership of 320 for the 4th wicket.

LMAO. Why would he do that? Hohns was part of the selection panel that kept picking the guy when the Poms were pasting him all over the park! Short memories my good man!

Well we have seen the aussies set an unbelievable once in a lifetime one day score only to see the side that conceded it chase it down and win. We have seen Bangladesh nearly beat us after having us on the ropes and the ref about to count us out and now a recognised numnber 9 batsman about to make a double ton!

no - all seems okay to me

Hey Spelly, when was the last time a player's maiden first class century was a Test Double Century? Brendon Kuruppu? (Not that Dizzy is quite there yet...)

All the more exceptional considering he never got past 58 in 167 previous first class innngs!

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 5:32 pm**

I just noticed that today is actually Dizzy's birthday as well!

191*

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 5:39 pm**

Dizzy 201*

Brought up his 200 with a nudge to fine leg - his signature shot! Well played. =D>

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2006 5:42 pm**

unbelievable probably is the only word you can use! :shock:

Well done Dizzy!!!

Not out and lead us to a declaration - Man of the Match done and dusted!!!
