5 facts about Australian Cricket History

As far as cricketing nations are concerned, no other platoon can relatively match the harmonious history of success that has been enjoyed by the Australians, and that makes the history of the justice platoon a fascinating subject. The notorious triumphs, Bradman, the fabulous Invincibles side of 1948, and the brigades led by Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting have gone into justice myth.

Those effects have been deconstructed to no end and any justice addict worth his swab is apprehensive of the justice history of Australia. still, there might be some effects that might not be as mainstream or maybe forgotten, and then a look at 5 of those fascinating, little-given effects from the history of Australian justice.

5 Tests in Australia used to have 8 ball overs until 1979

When Test justice first commenced back in the 19th century, an overused to correspond to 4 deliveries, before the 6- ball over was espoused in England in 1900. Australia started also and espoused the 6- ball over in the 1891- 92 season before espousing the 8-ball over for one season in 1924- 25 and eventually, in 1936- 37, the country sounded to have permanently gone back to the 8- ball over.

All first-class justice and Test justice in Australia comported of 8- ball overs and dispensable to say, it must have been a big shock for visiting bowlers in particular, who were used to bowling 6- ball overs.

Although it might feel that the 8- ball over is a bit neolithic, it's intriguing to note that Test matches in Australia comported of 8- ball overs till as late as the 1978- 79 season. The change came about after Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket swept Australian justice and showed the marketable eventuality of 6- ball overs.

The broadcaster could also have further time for announcements and by extension, further plutocrats for the justice board. In the 1979- 80 season, the justice board in Australia espoused the 6- ball over across first-class justice and Test justice and it has been the same ever a .Match Review With Shahzad Shahjalal

# 4 Australia is the only country to have hosted a 7- Test series

One would generally be safe to assume that a Test series is generally supposed to include no further than five Tests and indeed if one is talking about the Ashes, it would be a safe supposition. still, that isn't the case and had it not been for Australia's crazy decision to have seven Tests in their summer during the 1970- 71 Ashes, also it would no way have been possible.

The marathon ended in discredit for the hosts as England won the Ashes 2- 0 and the captain Bill Lawry was sacked in the middle of the series. That being said, Australia did gain by promoting the youthful Ian Chappell to the top job and he was responsible for bringing about another great period in the country's cricketing history.

The third Test of the series at Melbourne saw another major event when on the 5th day the two brigades played in the first-ever one-day transnational after the game had been washed out by rain. Australia won the game by 5 lattices, just like they had won their first ever Test match all those times agone.

3 Australia had remained unbeaten at Lord's 75 times

Australia has enjoyed some great moments at Lord's

Lord's is the spiritual home of justice and no other visiting platoon had such a brilliant record at the ground other than the Australians, who dominated Test matches at the venue for decades. During the 1934 Ashes in England, Australia lost the 2nd Test of the series at Lord's by an innings and 38 runs en route to their eventual 2- 1 triumph in the series.

Still, since that defeat, Australia dominated the Test matches that played at the venue and throughout the coming 75 times, they played 18 Test matches at Lord's and won 9 of them to set up a record that will presumably no way be matched by any other visiting platoon.

Their proud record was ultimately broken in 2009 when a Freddie Flintoff-inspired England beat them by 115 runs. After that, Australia lost another Test at Lord's when they were beaten by 347 runs during their 2013 stint but in 2015, they beat the hosts by 405 runs to maybe renew a new cycle of success at the home of justice.

2 Only platoon in justice history to have won a Test series after running 0- 2

Gubby Allen's England during the 1936- 37 Ashes in Australia

When it comes to a five-Test series, also the first two Tests are enough much set the tone for the rest of the series and if a platoon wins the first two, also the series is enough much over. As a result, no platoon in justice history has won a five-Test series from being 0- 2 down, except one.

Back in the 1936- 37 Ashes in Australia, England had the hosts on the mat in the first two Tests, having handed them innings defeats at Brisbane and Sydney. It's implausible for a platoon to also fight back from that kind of hammerings and also win the coming three Tests.

Still, Australia did just that and in the veritably coming Test at Melbourne, the callers started their fightback with a 365-run palm. The fourth bone at Adelaide was won by 148 runs and also the unbelievable came to a possibility when the brigades went back to Melbourne for the 5th Test.

It might be said that the belief had gone out of the England platoon as Australia steamrolled them to win by an innings and 200 runs. They had completed a comeback that has noway ago been managed in Test justice. In each of those Tests, Bradman scored heavily. He made 270 in the third, 212 in the 4th, and in the decider, he slammed 169.

# 1 Sir Donald Bradman only hit 6 sixes in his whole career

Bradman Batting

Australia's Sir Donald Bradman isn't only the topmost batsman to have ever played the game but maybe also the most dominant batsman to have played Test justice and some of his run-scoring feats bear evidence of this aggressive band. For case, he formerly scored a triadic hundred against England in a single day's play.

So, it's a well-established fact that he was one of the finest attacking batsmen to have ever been but he wasn't important of a six-megahit and hit only 6 sixes in his entire career, gauging 52 Test matches. Five sixes were hit against the age-old adversaries England and the other bone

was hit against India.

Bradman's fur was centered around hitting along the ground and in only 52 Test matches, he hit an astounding 618 boundaries. For perspective, the present-day gold standard of attacking batsmanship, David Warner has hit 723 fours in 70 Tests and that goes to show the kind of attacking faculty that the Don brought to the table.

Still, it seems that Bradman's strategy of primarily scoring through fours was only confined to Test justice since he'd hit 45 sixes in his first-class career in Australian domestic justice.
