5 Ducks… Then Came the Unexpected Twist! Five ducks in the series. One innings away from creating an unwanted record. But Alan Mullally had other plans. Not only did he avoid the duck, he even took the attack to Glenn McGrath for a brief but memorable counterpunch. One of cricket’s most unexpected cameos! Australia vs England, 1998/99 Did you remember this bizarre moment?

Ian Botham has had several issues involving India and cricketers from the subcontinent. In 1987, he did not travel to India for the Cricket World Cup. In 1993, he famously said that if Kapil Dev broke Richard Hadlee’s record for the most Test wickets, he would eat his England cap. Now, he has blamed the IPL for the decline of West Indies cricket, although many argue that the team’s downturn began after the retirement of legends such as Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh in the early 2000s. Botham, along with Allan Lamb, also sued Imran Khan for allegedly accusing them of ball-tampering and describing them as uneducated racists in a magazine interview. The jury ruled in Imran Khan’s favour, and the English cricketers were ordered to pay approximately £500,000 in legal costs.

Ball of the Century #OnThisDay in 1993, Shane Warne bowled his first ball in England and that turned out to be the Ball of the Century. It drifted lazily onto leg stump, then spat back a yard or two and clipped the top of off. The famous picture of Ian Healy aahing and Gatting oohing tells the story perfectly.

Dilip Vengsarkar yelled -“Bloody hell, it’s your 29th!”. In 1983, Sunil Gavaskar scored his 29th Test century, equalling Sir Donald Bradman’s record for the most Test hundreds. The Prime minister Indira Gandhi was at the Kotla that day and offered her congratulations to Gavaskar. Gavaskar was congratulated by Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, and several other West Indies players after reaching the historic milestone. Gavaskar smashed 121 off 128 balls. Happy Birthday Sunil Gavaskar
