The Australians have generally maintained superiority over the men from the Caribbean except for the 17 year period from 1978 to 1995 during which the West Indians dominated world cricket. Australia has won 50% of the Tests played between the two compared to 28.1% won by the West Indies. Australia’s highest innings total (8-758 dec.) was made at Kingston, Jamaica in 1955. After a poor start (2-7), rescue came in the form of one double-century and four centuries. It remains Australia’s highest Test innings score. The West Indies’ highest total (616) at Adelaide in 1969 followed a 257-run first innings deficit and led to an exciting finish with Australia’s last pair, Paul Sheehan and Alan Connolly, surviving 26 balls with the total 20 runs short of a win. Australia’s lowest total (76) came in Perth in 1984 on a fast bouncy wicket with the West Indies pace attack of Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Courtney Walsh at their zenith. Port-of-Spain in 1999 marked the West Indies’ batting nadir (51) when they were past their glory days and nine wickets were shared between Australian pacemen Glen McGrath and Jason Gillespie. The highest Australian and West Indian individual batting scores in Tests between the two teams, Adam Voges’ 269* and Brian Lara’s 277, were made in Hobart in 2015 and in Sydney in 1993 respectively. It was the third Test century made by Voges, a relative late-comer to Test cricket, while Lara’s masterpiece was made in only his fifth Test pointed to his class and the stellar career ahead of him. Best bowling in an innings between the two countries is Graham McKenzie’s dominant 8-71 at Melbourne in 1968 – a performance which was a key factor in an innings win. The West Indies’ best bowling performance came from the revered Curtly Ambrose (7- 25) in Perth in 1993 and contributed significantly to a series-winning victory. At one stage he took 7-1 off 32 balls. The highest batting partnership is 449 made by Adam Voges (269*) and Shaun Marsh (182), which is also the highest fourth-wicket stand in Test history. The West Indians’ best effort is remarkable in that it was for the seventh wicket (347) between Captain Denis Atkinson (219) and wicket-keeper Clairmonte Depeiza in his second Test (122) at Bridgetown in 1955. It remains the highest seventh wicket partnership in Test history. Depeiza’s fame, however, was to be short-lived – his Test career being over after five matches.

We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • It's 40 Years Since World Series Cricket Changed Everything, From
    The towering figure of Tony Greig. It’s 40 years since World Series Cricket changed everything, from the way the game was played to the way it was televised – the way, in fact, sport was televised. It introduced coloured apparel, lights, day-night Tests and one-dayers – the list is endless. People look back now with fondness at the WSC revolt, suggested at first by Dennis Lillee, instigated by some of the world’s best players, funded by Kerry Packer. Two of our interviewees, Clive Rice and Tony Greig, are now sadly departed, but our intrepid correspondent, CRISPIN ANDREWS, had long-ago managed to get their thoughts on the Packer revolution. He managed to track down many of the other protagonists recently. Here are their memories of one of the biggest upheavals ever witnessed in world sport.
