On 25 March 1922 probably the fastest double century of all time in either representative or grade cricket was scored at Chatswood Oval on the first day of a grade match between Gordon and Central Cumberland. We will describe the innings and maybe why it happened later in this story, however we should first refer to the Gordon player and the incredible role he played both in cricket circles and in the war.

Johnnie Moyes (full name Alban George Moyes) was a batsman who played for South Australia in the 1912-13 and 1913-14 seasons scoring 883 runs with a highest score of 104 against Western Australia. He was considered good enough to be selected for the Australian tour of South Africa in 1914 but the tour was cancelled due to the outbreak of the war.
