1. Jason Gillespie (Australia)
Match: Australia vs Bangladesh | April 16-20 2006 | Chattogram, Bangladesh | Scorecard
Score: 201* (425 balls)
Batting Position: Number 3
Hosts Bangladesh decided to bat first after winning the toss; a decision that completely backfired for them. They could only aggregate 197 runs in the first innings as the Australian trio of Jason Gillespie, Stuart MacGill and Shane Warne picked up 3 wickets apiece.
Batting against a relatively weak bowling attack, the Australian openers stitched a partnership of 67 but Matthew Hayden got out just a few overs before the end of day’s play of the first day. Jason Gillespie walked out to bat in the form of a night watchman but did way more than what was expected of him. He ended the first day unbeaten on 5.
