Line 101:
 
* Gillespie became the first Australian nightwatchman to score a century in almost 30 years. [[Tony Mann (cricketer)|Tony Mann]] was the last, against India at the [[WACA Ground]] in 1977.
 
* Of the 2474 players to have reached Test level, Gillespie became only the 150th to score 200 or more in a single Test innings.
 
* Jason Gillespie's highest test score (201*) is better than those of such well recognised Australian batsmen as [[Steve Waugh]] (200), [[David Boon]] (200), [[Ian Chappell]] (196), [[Darren Lehmann]] (177), [[Damien Martyn]] (165) and [[Mark Waugh]] (153*).
 
* His 201* innings is the only time, at any level of cricket, that Jason Gillespie has reached three figures batting.[http://www.cricinfo.com/topperformer/content/current/story/244769.html]
