Tied Test

Bob Simpson is the only person to be involved in both tied tests – as a player for Australia in the first, and as the Australian team coach in the second.

Alan Davidson took 6/87 and West Indies made 284, setting Australia a target of 233 runs to win.

Davidson and captain Richie Benaud set an Australian 7th-wicket partnership record of 134 in matches against the West Indies.

Dean Jones made 210, which was then the highest score by an Australian side in a Test in India, having faced 330 balls and hit 27 fours and 2 sixes.

India captain Kapil Dev made 119 and Greg Matthews took 5/103 wearing a sweater to prove his toughness.

Australia declared at 170 for 5, their overnight score at the end of the fourth day, setting India a target of 348 to win.

Greg Matthews was bowling to Ravi Shastri, with India's last man Maninder Singh at the bowler's end.

All four innings were marked by most of the batsman getting past double figures, but only Kenneth Hutchings went on to score a century.

Barnes took off for a winning single only to realise Fielder had stayed at the non-strikers, with Fielder slow to leave his end, Hazlitt picked up the ball and perhaps in a panic at the chance being gifted to him Hazlitt threw the ball wildly past the wicketkeeper Sammy Carter, leaving the English batsmen to safely complete a 1 wicket victory instead of a dismissal for a tie.

With England on 9/256 and chasing 258 to win with their final pair of batsmen at the crease, New Zealand's Neil Wagner bowled a bouncer that flew high above James Anderson's head.

Wagner fired a ball down the leg side that Anderson glanced and was caught by keeper Tom Blundell.
