6. Matthew Sinclair (New Zealand – 214 vs West Indies, Wellington, December 1999)
The former New Zealand number three also had a superb start to his international career when he made his first appearance for the Black Caps against the Windies on Boxing Day in 1999.
Sinclair made his debut better than memorable – he ended up scoring his first double century in Tests, making 214 with the help of 22 boundaries. His efforts ensured that New Zealand crushed their opponents by an innings and 105 runs. The then-24-year old Kiwi player was awarded the Man of the Match for his splendid knock.

After another double hundred against Pakistan, Sinclair fell out of form and favour – ending up playing only 33 Tests in 11 years. Very recently, he announced his retirement and also revealed his struggles to make a living for his family outside of cricket.
