Notes
D Warner 3×2= 6 13×1=13 ~~~~ Total 19+ 12=31 Triples overall And 194 batsmen who have touched 200 runs’ mark ( double century) individually as following– Don Bradman (12) K Sanghkara (11) 3 B Lara (9) W Hammond, M Jaywardhane, V Kohli ( 7 each ) V Kohli is in action and at his pick might go ahead. Ricky Ponting , S Tendulakar, V Sehwag, M Atapattu ,Yunus Khan, Javed Miandad ( 6 each) Rahul Dravid, Gream Smith, A Cook ( 5 each ) 7.Zahir Abbas , Sunil Gavaskar , L Hutton, , B MecCullum , Mohammad Yousuf , M Clarke, Hashim Amla, G Grinidge ( 4 each ) B Simpson, C Pujara M Rahim, Azhar Ali, J Root, S Smith , G Kirsten , L Tylor , K Peterson , C Gayle ,J Langer, S Jaydurya , Viv Richards , S Flamming ( 3 each ) *C Pujara, J Root , S Smith are in action and could go further ). And rest ones 2 and one each. The 44 batsmen slammed double century and total number rests 88 and 111 batsmen made one each so number rests 111 Thus 194 double centuries have come in its way in the Test arena and highest 12 and at least 3 double centuries getters are given here . 44 batsmen have 2 double centuries and 111 batsmen have got 1 each and thus total rests of double centuries is 378. And behind these double centuries 194 batsmen have remained the bearer. Whom against the double hundreds have been made is a point of great query and I would discuss it later in another episode. I have attended triple knocks here and so centric point of my discussion is triple ton only so I do floor the discourse only about the triples. Yeah if the figures of triples are checked then it is cleared that the bowlers whom the batsmen have faced off were ordinary in bowling class and if someones had the class alas they couldn’t have proven their class particularly in that match against those dominated Triplions. Despite high rated 850 plus like S Akhtar, D Steyn , M Morkel , S Pollock , M Muralidharan like great bowlers alas couldn’t stop those batsmen who crossed envious 300 mark in their worthy presence. And the point is to be noted here that some of them were not a great or specialist batsmen if mind the classism of Test cricket . The batsmen started the career as a bowler and promoted as a pinch hitter and the opportunity worked in their part and luck too and they scored in a big manner successfully and stunned the orthodox fans. After 1993 if we talk about great bowlers then from Australia– Glen McGrath, J Gylepsi , Bret Lee , M Johnson,.P Rifiel, , D Flamming , S McGill, S Warne . , M Starck, P Commins, Peterson, P Seedle, N Lyon, P Harris. And no triple century is made by any batsman against these bowlers. It reveals the fact that how formidable the bowling of Australia have had during this and that span. But yes in the worthy presence of G MecGrath , G Gilepsy ,Shane Warne India’s VVS Laxman unbelievably reached up to 281 and that is a big history of indian Test history and worst for Australia though at this score G McGrath dismissed VVS Laxman. But we are discussing on the triple ton only so Australian bowlers are out of the discussion. Now we glimpse out the bowling attack of each Test nation during this period . From New Zealand – D Martin and one century came in his presence. From England- Caddick, S Hermison , A Flintoff, C Broad , J Anderson ,Hoggard . And 4 Triples have slammed against them. From South Africa- S Pollock, J Kallis , M Natini, M Morkel, D Steyn. Yes 3 triples are made against them. From the West Indies – ST Gabriel, M Cummins, J Holder, KC Braithwait,D Bishoo, NL Chase *It means no high reputed bowlers from the West Indies though only 1 triple came. From Pakistan- S Akhtar, Shabbir Mohammad, M Sami , Saqlen Mustaq, Mustaq Ahmad ,Shahin Afridi against them 3 triples came. *It means only one high class bowler Shabbir Mohammad whose bowling average is under 25 though he played few Tests. From Shri Lanka- M Muralidharan, C Vaas, Fernando, A Mendis , *Only one high reputed bowler that is M Muralidharan against him 2 triples came. From India– V Prasad, Zahir Khan, Anil Kumble. Against this attack 3 triple came.
