All you need to know Ashley Chandrasinghe, the player who played the slowest innings ever in Shield Cricket

Ashley Chandrasinghe created history as the batsman scored 46 from 280 balls faced while occupying the crease for 400 minutes in Victoria's first innings against Western Australia.

21-year-old Victoria opener Ashley Chandrasinghe got everyone’s attention on day one of the Sheffield Shield final, as he batted through the entire first day to finish unbeaten on 46. The innings took in 266 balls but saw him hit just four boundaries. This is the slowest 46 scored in the 130-year history of the Shield. 

The opener was not expected to start the final after a lean run of form, but was promoted from his usual No.3 to open the batting following an injury to Travis Dean.
