Debut of The Don

There was little hint of what was to follow as Don Bradman made only 18 and 1 in his first Test appearance, against England in Brisbane. Bradman was only 20, but fellow new boy Bert Ironmonger was 46, Australia's oldest Test debutant at the time. It's not a match either man would have remembered too fondly - England won by a mighty 675 runs. Injuries to Jack Gregory, who didn't bat in either innings, and Charles Kelleway, who didn't bat in the second, didn't help, but even allowing for that Australia were hammered: they mustered just 122 and 66.

A change after 138 years

After a long time the Test cricket would have a new face. Test matches have always been known for the orthodox cricket i.e. "days' cricket. It's always been a format where players play during the "daylight" but the new form will be played under flood lights. Test cricket with pink balls and within the night light. Some more excitement will surely make it up. some more records are waiting to be witnessed.
