Craig Simmons absolutely teeing off on the BBL, 101 off 39 balls... can't say I've ever heard of him!!!
-
Scored 17 off 3 innings for the scorchers before this!
Quite like this story, guy brought up from grade cricket (or whatever it is in WA) due to great form, and makes an amazing Ton!
-
Bench warmer before this, surprised everyone today ... some of his shots reminded me of Mathew Hayden ???
-
First Class dayboo was moe than 10 years ago! Just shows in this 20/20 age, anything is possible.
-
Im at the match, amazing striking, good for him.
Tait is seriously rapid, no wonder he hits so many batsmen in the head....doesnt look much fun from the stand!
-
Apparently in 12 FC innings he's scored 172 runs... got to love 20/20 at times
-
Simmons 102 (41b): 1, 2, 0, 2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 0, 2, 4, 6, 1, 0, 4, 1, 6, 1, 0, 6, 2, 1, 4, 6, 6, 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 0, 2, 6, 4, 4, 6, 1, W

Thanks for making the effort to do that, really cool.
-
haha its ok i pulled it from Cricinfo twitter account...dont have the attention span to do it myself!
-
Watched it live, was a very good knock, I haven't heard of him either but hope he keeps going!
-
took his chance after being stuck into the side and fair play to him!
-
gotta love a bit of sloggy sloggy!
-
i saw luke wright tweeted about this, and said he wants his record back, that should be good to watch :D
-
luke wright isnt too happy with his record being broken :D
-
Just watched, great innings, ruined by seeing this threads title before I got in to start the sky plus! Doh
Yeah they say he was a grade cricketer, put into the squad as a left field choice, and he was about to be dropped, but they gave him one more chance due to lack of batting options.
I'd say it worked.
-
but still just sloggy sloggy - unless he uses this as his George Bailey route into the test side! :)
-
Looks a proper pie, beer and fag batsman, just like how a cricketer should be.
Great story and this is what 20/20 is all about.
-
quite - its supposed to be entertainment and all that
-
but still just sloggy sloggy - unless he uses this as his George Bailey route into the test side! :)
It's slap and tickle cricket. Sloggy sloggy is good, cracking for the bloke though, good on him.
-
what were the stickers on his bat i didnt recognise them, and couldnt get a close enough look

exactly.
He's a decent enough cricketer, couldnt cut it in Sheffield Shield, that doesnt make you a bad person. He's 31 now so probably has a 'proper job' like the rest of us, maybe a young family........
He's from a pretty ordinary area in terms of socio-economic demographics (out of interest about 70% poms down there) so wouldnt it be an awsome cinderella story if he scored an IPL gig.........would be life changing for a bloke like that.
only the mean spirited wouldnt wish him well.
PS - Bat stickers say 'Kingsport' never heard of it/them..... maybe a local Perth brand....I'll look into it
-
the kingsport bat/brand seems to be the house brand of Kingsgrove Sports in NSW

-
Has he nominated himself for the IPL auction?
-
The big chief has just snapped again... scored another quick ton
-
They were bagging him bigtime early on!!! Good knock this. Awesome hitting
-
He doesn't even look like he is trying to hit it hard... that fielding was funny
-
I'm gutted. Sky plused every big bash game. But not this one. As had a tesco delivery so would be up,
Tesco knock, I hit Pause.
45mins later. Sit down press play and sky box says "error" not recorded. Press sky, and he's walking off run out for 112!
Dam you sky, dam you and your crap cheaply made boxes! Grrr.
Surely he's gonna be In The ipl? Aus bb bowlers are better than India's ipl ones, and the tracks are better to bat on!
2tons in aus, is surely worth a decent deal in the ipl.
-
Probably get bought for 1m+ and won't get a game. Only chance he'll have of playing is if he goes to the lesser franchises
-
We hits it a long way... with the smaller Indian grounds the crowd better turn up with helmets.
Can he still nominate himself for the auction? Only a week to go, should be very interesting to see who goes where and who doesn't go anywhere.
Find the missing footage on Youtube, always works for me. It is definitely worth the effort!
Can't believe its raining in Sydney.
-
Rain is poor,
His name isn't on the ipl long list. Which should be a short lost by now, but can't find that.
