Aged 12 I sat with three of my mates on the boundary edge. We had never seen a double century before and in those days the first innings was limited to 100 overs and we were concerned that the overs would run out before Peter had chance to complete his double century. He did it easily in the end and ended up 213 not out. One of my best days watching cricket.

Turned out to be the first glimpse of a batting genius. <br /><br />Barlow and Kirsten...legends.
