Two double centurians?

[Old Skool]

When the last last time an Australian innings featured two double centurians?

Looks like 1965 against West Indies in Bridgetown. Bill Lawry and Bob Simpson both scored double centuries. They put on 382 for the first wicket. Heres the link to the scorecard http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/62972.html

This does not bode well for a person with a Nathan Buckley avatar.

What about 2011?

We were mozzed, but it wasn't me.

Still a chance for two double centurians, if we bat until after tea and Hussey is still there then definitely a realistic.

pakistan v bangladesh is quite incredible really. 5 tons, and total score 3(d)/546 with highest individual score 110

South Africa had three in their innings against Sri Lanka overnight with Petersen (109) Kallis (224) and de Villers (160*)

Probably more often than you think, South Africa just did it as well.

Edit: Damn, ninja'd.
