New Zealand‘s Devon Conway became just the seventh batsman in Test cricket’s 144-year history to make a double century on debut with a score of exactly 200 against England at Lord’s on Thursday.
The South Africa-born opener’s marathon effort of more than nine-and-a-half hours was the cornerstone of New Zealand’s first-innings total of 378. Conway was in sight of becoming the first player to bat throughout their very first Test-match innings before, with only last man Neil Wagner for company, he was run out after lunch on the second day of this two-match series. But he had still joined an exclusive club, with Mathew Sinclair the only other Black Caps batsman to have made a double century on his Test bow. Left-hander Conway had already broken the record for the highest innings by a batsman making their career Test debut at Lord’s when, on Wednesday, he surpassed the 131 made by India’s Souray Ganguly in 1996.
The chief has spoken, so let it be written, let it be done.
Newly elected Accompong Maroon Chief, Richard Currie, has posted the following on Instagram: Caveat Emptor: Horace Lewis, aka LA Lewis, is NOT a government official of #Accompong, nor is he recognised via our records as a citizen of Accompong. This individual has no delegation of authority to transact business for the state, nor bestow titles of nobility #sounddiabeng.
Chief Currie, elected on Thursday of last week, captioned the post: “For the record and let the records reflect. No more games. No more disorder .
The Accompong Maroons and Horace ‘LA’ Lewis, a prominent entertainment figure nationally primarily for his behaviour, have had a bit of public verbal spat over recent months, and the former Maroon Chief, Colonel Ferron Williams, had suggested that Lewis could be in for a beating in keeping with local maroon traditions, should he ever again show up in Accompong Town in St Elizabeth.
