My head is spinning. You’re making me

Filed under: Australia, Bangladesh — Rick Eyre @ 10:20 am

Dizzy!

Jason Gillespie, 102 not out in a Test innings for Australia. Yes, it’s against Bangladesh, you’ve got a problem with that?

He’s done what Dennis Lillee, Merv Hughes, Geoff Lawson, Paul Reiffel, Damien Fleming, Brett Lee and other fast bowlers before him have failed to do since Ray Lindwall in 1955… break the 80 barrier and score a Test match ton.
