Darren Cheek And Sam Cheek Partnership: Sometimes such moments come on the cricket field which create history. In international cricket, many pairs of brothers have made headlines by playing cricket together. At the same time, the father-son duo has also played together. But such a feat has been seen in Australia, which has surprised the entire cricket world. In a club match of South Australia cricket, the father-son duo not only entered the field together but also returned off the field after forming a historic partnership.
Big feat of father-son duo
Actually, Darren Cheek and his son Sam Cheek batted amazingly while playing for Coromandel Cricket Club in Adelaide, South Australia. Playing against Morphettville Park, the pair made an unbeaten partnership of 590 runs in a 40-over match, which is considered a big record not only at the club level but in South Australian cricket. Both of them opened and the team did not lose a single wicket in the entire 40-over innings. During this, Sam Cheek scored unbeaten 402 runs. At the same time, his father Darren Cheek scored unbeaten 175 runs.
A total of 50 fours and 51 sixes were hit in the entire innings, which shows how much pressure the batsmen maintained on the bowlers. Sam Cheek’s inning of 402 runs was especially discussed because he hit 30 fours and 42 sixes. This is considered to be better than the world record in 40 over cricket. Sam scored this score in 132 balls, while Darren faced 108 balls.
