Iconic Moments: India vs Australia in Tests


In December opening batsman 13Australia Bill Brown became the first test batsman to run out for backing up too far at the end of the non-striker. Indian Vinoo Mankad made the polyvalent run-out, and the mode of dismissal came to be known as ' mankaded '. This happened only six times more in international cricket.

Mankad had dismissed Brown in this way previously in a tour game too, but had offered the batter a warning. In the test match, was not offered no such courtesy. The incident caused a small controversy. The Aussie media named Mankad unsporting Act. Others, such as Australia Captain Don Bradman said that mankad was within his rights to do so.

Australia took the series 4-0 with Bradman making 715 runs. One of the highlights of India about the tour was 116 of Vijay Hazare in day 3 and day 4 at 145.
