| This Day in Cricket (31 July) |
| 1956: History was made at Old Trafford when Jim Laker took his 19th wicket in the 4th Test against Australia, including all ten in the 2nd innings. Laker had warmed up for his day of recknoning by taking 9 for 37 in Australia's 1st outing that itself the best ever return by an England bowler in Ashes cricket. In the 2nd innings, though, he was unstoppable, and when the last man, Len Maddocks, was trapped lbw, Laker had taken all 10 wickets for 53 runs. The Australians were said to be fuming about an Old Trafford pitch that had been deliberately underprepared to suit the spinners, but as their captain, Ian Johnson, said afterwards: "When the controversy and side issues of the match are forgotten, Laker's wonderful bowling will remain." No one else has taken more than 17 in a first class match. |
