Video: Craig Simmons' 39-ball century, fastest ever in BBL

Craig Simmons, a 31-year-old left-hand batsman, playing for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League, smashed the Adelaide Strikers’ attack to all parts of the ground, to record the fastest BBL century ever off 39 deliveries. Courtesy of his 41-ball 102, Scorchers powered to a first innings total of 203/7 in 20 overs.

Simmons was a part of the Australian World Cup-winning under-19 team in 2002. Once very highly rated, his career graph sadly went downwards. Here is the video of the terrific knock.
