Initially, it was the bond formed between the teams that had contested just 15 Test matches over the preceding three decades. In the hours after creating history at the Gabba, they sat around tables at the Queensland Cricketers' Club sharing tales and forging friendships until the manager had to boot them out at 9pm. It rewrote the rules of engagement for rival Test teams who had rarely spent time in each other's company up until then, and ignited a surge of interest in the game that had become forgettably moribund in Australia following Bradman's retirement in The captivating final session in Brisbane was followed by a dominant performance by Australia in the second Test at the MCG, then a reversal of fortunes in Sydney where the West Indies levelled the five-match series.
The fourth Test in Adelaide produced another memorable final session as Australia's last pair Ken 'Slasher' Mackay and Lindsay Kline defied the Caribbean bowlers for almost two hours to secure a draw, before a then record cricket crowd of 90, turned out for day two of the deciding Test in Melbourne.
In the wake of another nerve-tingling, last-gasp win by Benaud's team to claim the series, a perpetual trophy struck in the name of the hugely popular West Indies captain was accepted by the equally charismatic Benaud. When Pandit was bowled the score was for 6, with 17 needed. Bright then took a hand, having the hard-hitting Chetan Sharma caught on the boundary, trapping wicketkeeper More lbw for a duck and bowling the lunging Yadav.
This brought in Maninder Singh, no batsman, with four needed from the final over. Shastri managed a two, followed by a single to level the scores. Maninder had three balls from which to conjure the winning run, but he fatally played back to the second and was out lbw.
The Australian spinners had shared all 10 wickets, with Matthews taking five in each innings. The Australian side, later to be roundly criticised in the Indian Press for 'gamesmanship and intimidation', were ecstatic: at Brisbane no-one had been sure of the result, but they all knew this time.
After two days, any possibility of an Australian defeat looked to have been avoided, and after three days an innings win for the tourists seemed probable. Australia reached for 2 on the first day, vice-captain Boon scoring his third century in four Tests against India. He batted for minutes, hitting 21 fours, and passed Test runs when he had made At the close Jones had made 56 and nightwatchman Bright 1.
In reply to this outstanding innings of Australia India scored run with highest runs hit by Kapil Dev. He scored in first innings and played for about minutes and hit 21 boundaries. Leading wicket taker for Australia was Greg Matthews who took 5 wickets.
In the 2 nd innings Australia declared after scoring for 5 in the fourth day of the match which set the target for India of about runs.
India were bundled out on runs in the 2 nd innings with Sunil Gavaskar scoring the highest runs. He scored 90 runs.
So after 5 days, after both teams played their 2 innings the total scores was equal to this match again declared as a tied. These are the two matches tied in Cricket History. There are only one person who was involved in both matches. Property Value dbo: abstract A tied Test is a Test cricket match in which the side batting second is bowled out in the fourth innings, with scores level.
