He wasn't an actual night watchman but Anil Kumble's batting in the last 2-3 years of his career was simply inspiring. He was dogged, fierce, and put a huge price on his wicket - like a newfound Dravid at 8/9/10. Got plenty of 80+ scores during that time too. A hundred vs England and that fighting 80 odd vs Australia at Sydney that nearly drew us the game stick with me.

I miss Kumble!

But more importantly nathan hauritz ,amit mishra and D.Tuffy are becoming good night watchman thanks to test cricket

J.Gillespie,Shane Warne are the Best Nightwatchman in the history of test cricket...

Ishant Sharma can also be decent.

James Anderson I reckon

He has only had one duck in his test career and holds the record for going the longest in tests without scoring a duck! :happy

you serious?

He has done it before is all I'm saying and has done a reasonable job.

 

[drainpipe32]

Glenn McGrath's done it once too!

 

[CG123]

I wonder if Chris Martin has ever done it?

Currently Daryl Tuffey would have to be the best nightwatchman in test cricket, I'm not sure who it would be in the history of the game.

Reasonable you say? He has done it thrice in his career but only once against Australia at Mohali he did a 'reasonable job'.The other two times he got out for 1 and 0 against Australia at Delhi and New Zealand at Napier respectively, so you could hardly call him a good nightwatchman.
