Wellington's Oscar Jackson began Bank Holiday Weekend in style on Friday night playing for Bradshaw Bullets in the Greater Manchester Cricket League T20 competition.
Oscar reached his century in 31 balls on the way to 117 (36). He also took a wicket and a catch.
Since this is a club cricket account, shout out to @calhillnz of Burnside West premier men who yesterday won 10K at the Lake Taupō hole in one challenge.

Onslow CC.
21 years.

Oscar is a right-hand bat and right-arm medium pace bowler. Already played T20 and List A for Wellington this season.
Former @BLACKCAPS captain Graham Dowling is 89 today. Held NZ test record score of 239 and captain in NZ's first test series win. A very accomplished opening batsman.
The highest partnerships between two left-handers in the history of test cricket. The chances of beating the record by one run were remote, given there had been just 2 partnerships of 323 previously.

Only 3 players in test history have been captain, opening bat and designated keeper. Percy Sherwell (SA), Gerry Alexander (WI), Imtiaz Ahmed (PAK). Sherwell (Lord's 1907) is the only one to score a century but Tom Latham was as close as you can get to equalling this feat
