July 18| July 20
1952
A young and very fiery Fred Trueman continued his personal assault onIndia’s batsmen. Trueman had grabbed 15 wickets in his first two Tests,and this time added a further 8 for 31 in the first innings at Old Trafford, as India crumbled to 58 all out. Tony Lock, making his debut,started the rot with a stunning catch at short leg to remove Vinoo Mankad, the first time Lock had touched the ball in Test cricket. He wasthen instrumental in bowling India out for 82 in the second innings,taking 4 for 36 in 9.3 overs as 22 wickets fell in the day. It would be49 years until England next played Test cricket on July 19.
1899
No Ashes cricket whatsoever was played on July 19 in the entire 20thCentury. Before 2001, you have to rewind 102 years to Old Trafford, andthe final day of a three-day draw. Earlier in the match, Tom Haywardtopscored with 130, Bill Bradley took a wicket with his first ball in Testcricket, and Australia ‘s Monty Noble became the only batsman to scoretwo Test match fifties on the same day.
1993
The last day of first-class cricket for Ian Botham. Halfway throughDurham’s tour match against the Australians, Beefy announced that itwould be his last. After terrorising them on and off the field for 15years, it wouldn’t have been right if he’d bowed out against anyoneelse. He made 32 and went wicketless, but Botham had another way ofstealing the limelight: he kept wicket for the last over of the matchwithout gloves or pads.
1993
While Botham was finishing up, Glen Chapple was flaying a centuryin 21 minutes and 27 balls – the fastest in first-class history. But youwon’t see it any record books. Chapple’s hundred came against jokebowlers, Tony Cottey (6-0-121-0) and Matthew Maynard (6-0-110-1).
1955
Birth of the first Anglo-Indian to play for India. And fittingly, Roger Binny was at his best in English conditions. A steady medium-pacer and acapable batsman who opened in India’s Golden Jubilee Test, Binny madelittle impact in his first four years of international cricket. But hiscareer took off when he was selected for the World Cup in 1983. He savedIndia from elimination with a matchwinning display against Australia atChelmsford, and conceded just 23 runs from ten overs to help India to astunning victory over West Indies in the final. Three years later, Binnywas instrumental in England’s Test series defeat, taking 5 for 40 inIndia’s victory at Headingley.
1982
England beat Pakistan by 73 runs in a one-day international to win theseries 2-0. Mike Gattingtop-scored with 76 and Ian Botham hit foursixes off Iqbal Qasim.
1877
Birth of fast bowler Arthur Fielder, who played six Tests forEngland, all against Australia. He took an heroic 6 for 82 (9 wickets inthe match) in the narrow defeat at Sydney in 1907-08. In 1906 he becamethe only person to take all ten wickets in an innings for Playersagainst Gentlemen at Lord’s.
1876
John Gunn was born, another whose six Tests were all againstAustralia. A hard-working allrounder, he bowled 42 overs in taking 5 for76 at Adelaide in 1901-02. His uncle William and brother George alsoplayed for England.
