As Australia’s captain, he was peerless — losing only four of 28 Tests, and never a series. His most famous performance came at Old Trafford in 1961, where his 6 for 70 helped Australia retain the Ashes. Later, as a journalist and commentator, his wit and precision were legendary — only Benaud could call a poor shot a “windy woof” and get away with it.
He passed away aged 84 after battling skin cancer and injuries from a 2013 car accident near his Coogee home.
He helped found World Series Cricket, famously ran out Alvin Kallicharran at Port-of-Spain (then apologized), and made his infamous “We’ll make them grovel” remark before the 1976 series against West Indies.
Despite the controversies, Greig was a passionate cricketer and a much-loved commentator. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012, he passed away later that year following a heart attack.
He took his maiden Test five-for against Zimbabwe in 2000 and followed up with another match-winning effort against Pakistan. For a brief time, King and Franklyn Rose looked like the future of West Indies pace — but injuries derailed his career. After a long gap, he returned during the 2004–05 home series against South Africa when senior players went on strike.
From Adelaide 2012 to Galle 2014, Morkel produced match-defining spells and was South Africa’s top wicket-taker in the 2015 World Cup. His partnership with Steyn remains one of Test cricket’s most feared duos.
Despite a shaky start, Roston Chase and Aaron Jones steered the Kings to victory with an 88-run stand off 50 balls. Jones top-scored with 48, smashing four sixes — matching the entire Warriors total!
Though he scored only one Test hundred — a patient 101 in Madras — he became a South Australian legend, finishing with over 12,000 first-class runs. Favell died of cancer in 1987 but remains one of Adelaide’s cricketing icons.
Ravindra Jadeja too celebrated his maiden century, as India wrapped up the match in under 100 overs of bowling — pure domination.
A genuine allrounder for Hampshire, Brown batted left-handed, bowled right-handed, and even kept wicket in all seven of his Tests. He scored over 25,000 first-class runs and took 600 wickets. His ashes were scattered over Hampshire’s ground when he passed in 1964 — fitting for a true legend.
Though he later returned as a T20 specialist — even making England’s squad for the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 — he never fulfilled his early promise.
He only played 14 Tests but shone in county cricket — his standout match came in 1935 when he scored 146 and took 11 for 54 to thrash Yorkshire.
Though his international stint was brief, Bennett pioneered the use of dark sunglasses on the field — now common in modern cricket.
Mayank Agarwal added a double hundred, and together they broke the record for the most sixes in a Test (37 in total). Despite a gritty effort from Dean Elgar, South Africa crumbled under India’s dominance.
Harbhajan Singh turned the match with three wickets in an over, sealing a fitting farewell for Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who both played their final T20 match that night.
