Double Nightwatchmanning

[Shady Slim]

so lyon is padded up as nightwatchman now and this is something i've thought about a bit

nightwatchman comes out and quickly is sent back - it seems the general done thing is that the batsman just comes out; but is this right?

Someone double nightwatchmanned in the Shield this season, I think it was Victoria and they were protecting Nic Maddinson

 

[Starfighter]

Normally. I have a vague memory of at least one instance of someone doing the thread title, but can't recall the exact match.

 

[mr_mister]

What about double pinch hitting?

 

[Shady Slim]

i should say when is say is this right, i mean is it the right thing to do ftr

It’s a bit like cnerd’s posting - always double down even when wrong

Yeah, Vic v Tas at Bellerive. Mitch Perry was nightwatchman and got skittled by Meredith so Boland came out after him

Huh?

 

[Shady Slim]

Huh?

New Zealand sent out a few at Lords in 1978 and ended the day 30 odd for 7.

What about double pinch hitting?

I am pretty sure I saw Symcox and Klusener both come out to bat one after the other back in the mid 90s for RSA. Symcox was 1 down and Klusener was 2 down I think.

Nightwatchman – a tactic that offers a glimpse into cricket's paradoxical heart

When not concentrating on the Olympic Movement, I write the occasional article for a wonderful periodical called The Nightwatchman.

article notes that bradman famously pulled a triple nightwatchman in that famous test

 

[Sunil1z]

Gillespie is the greatest Test nightwatchman

1. Scored a double century
2. Saved Chennai Test 2004

This match perhaps? Although it was Klusener at 5 and Symcox at 6, and that may have been an attempt to increase the scoring rate since South Africa declared that innings.

That would make a lot more sense, can't imagine why you would send Lance Klusener out as a nightwatchman

 

[Dendarii]

Or maybe it was this one. McMillan at 3 and Symcox at 4, with both not out at the end of Day 2.

Otis Gibson and Roger harper above Jimmy Adams and Keith Arthurton in the 96 wc semifinal?

No I meant double pinch-hitting in ODIs but yes, I do remember this test too now.
