The Prime Nightwatchman of Australia has survived to stumps this evening, defying all odds and finishing the day not out on 201.
The Nightwatchman came to the crease some 267 days ago to steady the ship after a top-order collapse that saw team captain Malcolm Turnbull lose his wicket cheaply.
Shortly before stumps this afternoon in Dhaka, Bangladesh was able to break the partnership, sending the Nightwatchman’s parter, Uncle Tony X, back to sheds for 49.
Speaking to The Advocate’s cricket correspondent upon as he took his pads off in the dressing room, the Nightwatchman didn’t pull any punches.
“Who’s the Nightwatchman now, you fucking cunts?!” he laughed.
This is a developing story.
More to come.
