Australia: The Australian team is considered one of the most dangerous teams in the world. Many explosive batsmen have emerged from the Australian cricket team. This list currently includes players like Travis Head, David Warner. In the past, there were players like Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden. But today we will talk about the most dangerous player among them all.

Victorian batsman W.H. Ponsford created a new record in Australian domestic cricket with his brilliant innings against Queensland. Ponsford scored 437 runs against Queensland. Before this, he had also played an innings of 429 runs. This historic innings was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Ponsford batted for 621 minutes and hit 42 fours during this innings. He created history with this innings.

Queensland bowlers were thrashed

Queensland's team made all efforts to stop Ponsford. The bowlers resorted to fast leg theory and deployed most of the fielders on the on side, but Ponsford's technical skill foiled these plans and thrashed them. He scored runs by taking a block from outside the leg stump and playing the ball towards the off side. Five wide balls were bowled in Thompson's over, which was a proof of the bowlers' frustration. Despite this, Ponsford kept scoring runs and reached a huge score of 437.

The long innings came to an end

Ponsford's innings ended after 621 minutes when Amos took a one-handed catch. At that time, Victoria's total score was 792, in which Ponsford's contribution was 437 runs. Many records were made and broken during his innings. On this achievement, the fans welcomed him with a thunderous applause as he left the field. After this innings, Ponsford became one of the most memorable innings in the history of Victoria, and Ponsford once again proved that he was one of the best batsmen of his time.
