Jason Gillespie after his historic 201*

Probably the most famous and incredible knock in this list, Jason's Gillespie 201* against Bangladesh blew the cricketing world away in what turned out to be his final game in International Cricket.

Known for his ability to defend and occupy the crease while more capable batsman did the bulk of the scoring, Gillespie was never considered a dud with the bat. However, he rarely made big scores-a fact that is evident in the 15.65 batting average he held before this innings. This made him an ideal nightwatchman and that was what he was sent as in the second test against Bangladesh in the April of 2006.

Nobody would have anticipated what followed as Gillespie kept breaking record after record as he became the first night watchman in cricketing history to score a double hundred. Gillespie eventually ending up with 201* in an innings that far belied his previous batting credentials.

Australia eventually ended up winning the match comfortably and Gillespie was named Man of the Match for his batting efforts for a change in what turned out to be a poetic ending to fantastic career.

Such was the impact of this innings in the context of Gillespie's batting career that this innings alone accounted for almost 17% of the total runs he had scored in his 71 match career and increased his batting average by almost 3 runs!
