Kieran Powell in company of legends - chairman - 11-19-2012

No matter which cricket team you are playing against it is still difficult to make a century in both innings and as such even with the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe not many batsmen from the top playing Nations have done it. so this feat is special nonetheless.

Ketch Lara did and in his two matches against them averaged 87! He also had Zimbabwe again whom he average 56, also in two test.
