This incident has occurred only three times in Cricketing History.
The second time this incident was repeated was during the 1981 Ashes Series in the third test at Edgbaston when the Australian team captained by Kim Hughes visited England. Ian Botham who had just been replaced by Mike Brearley as the English Captain was the star for England in this match. He scored 149 runs in the second innings helping England reach 356 in the second innings. The Australians were all out for 111 with Bob Willis picking up 8 wickets. England won this match beating Australia comprehensively by 18 runs.
Now tell me what is this incident I am describing and when did this happen for the third time??
