A 42-year-old bloke making a comeback in a C grade T20 cricket match usually ends up with a torn hamstring and a few cans post match.

Not for Federal’s Sean Huddle, who came out of retirement on Saturday in the club’s Round 5 Twenty20 clash with PROBuild Rovers in Alice Springs.

The top order batsman belted an astonishing 37 boundaries on his way to his unbeaten 202 from just 70 balls.

The knock included 20 sixes, as well as 17 fours, 188 of his 202 came from boundaries alone at Ross Park.

He retired after winning last season’s B grade grand final with the Demons, and yesterday’s dig eclipses his previous best of 159 which he had made twice in his career.

Huddle said he started to feel comfortable when the third ball of the innings went over the rope for six.

“It came out of the middle and I thought, yeah I was starting to see them alright,” Huddle said.

“Pretty much from there I was on.”

Despite obviously having his eye in, Huddle said it certainly was not going to be a permanent comeback.

“I think any player that has made runs would like to make a double ton,” Huddle said.

“Considering this is like the end of my cricketing career and to get it so late in it, I’ll take it every day of the week.

“I have done a lot of things in cricket, taken hat-tricks and won premierships but as a personal milestone making 200 is right up there.”

For the record, the Demons finished on 5-298 with Rovers unable to get the near the total in reply.
