NightWatchman

Jason Gillespie's 201 not out at Chittagong was easily the highest score by a nightwatchman in a Test - the previous-best was 125, by Mark Boucher for South Africa v Zimbabwe at Harare in 1999-2000. Three other nightwatchmen have scored Test centuries: Nasim-ul-Ghani, with 101 against England at Lord's in 1962; Tony Mann, 105 for Australia against India at Perth in 1977-78; and Syed Kirmani, 101 not out for India against Australia at Mumbai in 1979-80. There has been some debate about whether Boucher and Nasim-ul-Ghani (who later opened in a Test) were genuine nightwatchmen - but in the matches in question they both came in at No. 6, at the end of the day, ahead of more recognised batsmen.
