Double Nightwatchmanning

[OverratedSanity]

Pretty sure India did the double pinch hitter thing a few times in the late 90s/early 2000s

This is one I found where Agarkar was at 3 and Harbhajan at 5. Weird non consecutive double pinch hitting

Agarkar scored 95 at #3 in the previous match. He was weird like that, a true rocks / diamonds kind of player.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah I think Agarkar may even have been the designated number 3 at the time technically speaking

 

[honestbharani]

Weirdly he tried to play like a proper bat. He was not striking at a 100+ or anything. It was stupid.

I refer to the Gloucs vs. Kent match this year where Jacob Duffy dismissed 3 nightwatchmen in a single over.

Glenn Phillips bowled 24 overs for 100 runs but he's been bowling lots of overs which he wouldn't have playing for Aces.

The main takeaway I got from this is that Matt Quinn is still going

 

[ankitj]

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?

What about the scenario where the other batsman gets out. Would one consider sending another night watchman to effectively have meme batsmen at both ends.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

That's what I thought this thread was about.

England did at Lord's 1985 - they had about an hour to bat at the end of day 3: after about 40 minutes Gooch and Robinson both got out so at close of play Emburey and Allott were batting.

 

[Victor Ian]

I think Shane Warne was night watchman a few times. Bloke could do everything.

 

[Red]

Gillespie was an ideal nightwatchman. For a tailender he had a pretty solid defensive technique

This thread title actually describes a few of NZs opening partnerships of the mid 90s.
