The dazzling Australian left-hander David Hookes,  in 1️⃣9️⃣5️⃣5️⃣, looked like he had it all. Before he'd even played first-class cricket, he hit six sixes in an over in a club game for Dulwich. At the age of 2️⃣1️⃣ he scored five centuries in six innings for South Australia. And in 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣2️⃣▪️8️⃣3️⃣, he creamed the fastest authentic century in cricket history, pasting a furious hundred off just 34 balls for South Australia 🆚 Victoria in Adelaide. But his Test career was frustratingly unfulfilled. He thrillingly smashed five successive fours off Tony Greig on debut, in the Centenary Test of 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣6️⃣▪️7️⃣7️⃣, but his only hundred in 23 appearances came 🆚 a poor Sri Lankan side, in Kandy in 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣2️⃣▪️8️⃣3️⃣. Hookes' life ended in tragic circumstances in January 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣4️⃣, at 4️⃣8️⃣, when he succumbed to his injuries after he was assaulted following an altercation outside a Melbourne hotel. At the time he was enjoying a successful stint as Victoria's coach. 😢
