Dizzy concentration

So everybody has heard and the world of cricket has been rocked once again. Jason "Dizzy" Gillespie did the unfathomable, he was the first nightwatchman to score a double ton and he lasted a supersized 400 deliveries! It is something to last that long. Concentrating on every delivery, and I am sure he had moments when his concentration lapsed but that should not take the gloss away from his feat, neither should the fact that they were playing Bangladesh, the current shipping-boys of world cricket. Most batsmen have a hard time concentrating and Gillespie showed us the way to do it. Not only that he also showed the world that anybody can do it. It is all a matter of applying oneself and it can safely be stated that Gillespie's innings were the epitome of concentration. Kudos to the man who made a comeback albeit with the bat and not the ball.
