First Test Hat-trick at The Oval #OnThisDay in 2017, Moeen Ali took a test hat-trick against South Africa. This was the first hat-trick at The Oval. First hat-trick by an England spinner in 79 years. A rare occasion in which all 3 batsmen were lefties.

Not as prodigious as Smith, nor as flamboyant as Gibbs — but when the storms hit, Elgar stood firm. In 48 home Tests, he averaged 47 with 9 gritty tons — opening the innings in an era where facing the new ball in South Africa was a battle few survived. +

Oh, what a disappointment ! Rain, Duckworth-Lewis, South Africa and World Cup Exit AGAIN ! #OnThisDay in 2003, a miscalculation contributed to South Africa defeat against Sri Lanka in World Cup. Boucher struck Murali for 6, punched the air with glee, thinking he'd already done enough to qualify. In fact, he merely brought scores level & then failed to score off last ball of 45th over, which became the final delivery of match. Pollock: "It's got to rank up there as possibly the most disappointing thing.”

“In the context of the particular game, I have never seen a better test match innings.” ~ Richie Benaud #OnThisDay 1991, Graham Gooch scored 154* that inspired England to their first home Test win against West Indies for 22 years. He scored 61% of England's 252 runs in 2nd innings (an English record) - 8 batsmen failed to make it out of single figures.

Nasser Hussain and Muttiah Muralitharan were sitting together in the commentary box when Nasser said, “I was a very good player of spin. I averaged over 50 against Murali.”👀 Murali smiled and replied, “Yes… but I got you out 11 times.” 😄 Then Simon Helmot invited them to settle it with one ball. Even at 54 years of age, Murali bowled a beauty that completely beat Nasser on the very first delivery The entire ground burst into laughter, and Nasser could only laugh along 😂😂

Happy Birthday Tim May His highest Test score and best bowling performance came in the same match. After claiming 5 for 9 against the West Indies a day before his birthday, he followed it up with a valiant 42 not out, narrowly missing the chance to become a national hero in his first Test appearance in four years. He forged a formidable bowling partnership with Shane Warne between 1993 and 1995, a period that marked a remarkable resurgence in his career, highlighted by the memorable Adelaide Test. Featuring together in 17 Test matches, the duo proved devastatingly effective, claiming ten or more wickets in an innings on eight occasions.

#OnThisDay in 1990, Graham Gooch became the first & only man to score a triple hundred at Lord's - 333 v India. He also became the first player to score a triple hundred and hundred in same test when he smashed 123 in the second innings of the Lord's Test. Bishan Bedi, then the team manager, abandoned his own captain's decision to bowl first in the press conference.

Happy birthday Nilesh Kulkarni Nobody in the history of the game has had quite as bittersweet a debut as him. In 1997 he became the first Indian and the 12th person to take a wicket with his first ball (in the infamous 952-6 Test) but he ended with figures of 70-12-195-1
