ENG vs AUS Cricket Scorecard, 4th Test at Manchester, July 26 - 31, 1956

Get cricket scorecard of 4th Test, ENG vs AUS, Australia tour of England 1956 at Old Trafford, Manchester dated July 26 - 31, 1956.

Here's Laker's test.

Somerville can take a bit of consolation from Tony Lock's efforts - especially in the 2nd innings.

wow, Ajaz Patel. Truly remarkable performance. Incredible.

I have no more words. Best bowling performance bya kiwi, only 3 times in 150 years. Just amazing.

Remember this. We may just be disemboweled on a turning track, but this is some effort. All 10. So proud right now, what a team

@nzzp There was a reason for Wags not playing!

I knew it Dan...

[SynicBast]

Left arm off-break spinner - 10 wickets - can bowl with a new cherry - don't think they can leave him out again for domestic tests, given he bowls well on pitches with pace and bounce. I might just be grinning like a cheshire cat - the last 7 years aside from that blip in Australia have been remarkable.

No there wasn't. Not if Somerville was the supposed rationale.

[MN5]

Wow. A 10 fer is quite surreal. Hats off fella, amazing !

Just think how many legends of the game never managed it themselves….

[sparky]

Ajaz, you fucking legend.

[Damo]

Now we need to bat well.

The path to victory is clear. Bat for 2.5 days and declare 200-250 ahead. Then bowl India out in 4.5 sessions.

you make it sound so easy!

Survive against a bouncing, turning pitch.

[MN5]

Awesome ! Unlikely to get a tweet from Jim Laker though

Wags would've been bound to get one and mess it up!

Young goes and a seamer gets a wicket.

[Pepe]

Excellent... The Indian seamers do in less than 4 overs what NZ couldn't in @ 40

Make that 2..

[Chris B.]

Oh shit!!!

[Rapido]

That is clown cricket.

[Damo]

I get a sense that there is more urgency from our batsman in this test. I am for that.

However not sure our openers should be hooking in the 4th over of the innings.

[Donsteppa]

Looks like being the Sir Ajaz Patel and the Ten Muppets Show.

[nzzp]

too high?

[nzzp]

too high?

thank god, too high

[Damo]

Amazing review. He didn't hesitate for a moment. I figured he must have hit it, but no - he just knew where the stumps end.

Judging by his reaction after the review I'm sure he totally did.

Taylor... ouch
