THIS DAY, THAT YEAR

2002: Adam Gilchrist pulverised the South African attack with the fastest Test double-century at the time, in Johannesburg. He got to the landmark off his 212th delivery, hitting the 19th four of his innings. At one point, when he was on 169, Gilchrist aimed for an advertising hoarding that promised a bar of gold to anyone who hit it, by scooping a length delivery to it.
