Aussie Lynn smashes double-century in grade cricket
Brisbane: Aussie cricketer Chris Lynn, part of Kolkata Knight Riders team in the 2014 Indian Premier League, smashed a double-century (209) in Queensland grade cricket here on Sunday.
Playing for domestic side Toombul District Cricket Club, Lynn hit 19 sixes and 12 fours, taking just 137 balls to hit the double-century against Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club at Toombul’s home ground of Ken Mackay Oval, as per reports.
He, along with Brendan Nash (123 not out from 84 balls), helped the home side to a massive score of 385/3 from their 50 overs. In reply, their opponents only managed a score of 282 in 44 overs.
“I was really pleased with the control I had to bat for the length of time I did,” Lynn said after play on Sunday.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
