The West Indian off-spinner has played only 16 Test matches in his career but Shane Shillingford has already accomplished the feat that most number 11s dream of. Back in 2014, the West Indies slumped to a heavy defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the first Test of the series at Jamaica. After the visitors had made 508 in their first innings, West Indies were all out for 262 but New Zealand did not enforce the follow-on and instead batted again.

West Indies were set to 403 to win but the batsmen floundered badly and when Shillingford came into bat, they were reeling at 134 for 9. He decided to have some fun and swung his bat with gay abandon since the game was as good as over. He faced 29 deliveries and hit 3 fours and 5 sixes to top score for the side with an entertaining 53. More importantly, he remained not out till the end.
