The 1960/61 West Indies tour of Australia was one of the greatest test series ever played.
On the eve of the first Test in Brisbane, Don Bradman, the chairman of the Australian board but really everything cricket in Australia, asked Richie Benaud, the home skipper, if he could have a few words with his side.
Benaud was not one to disagree with a presence as sharp and ubiquitous as “Braddles”, and stood back to watch.
Bradman said that he saw the series against Worrell’s men as an opportunity for the home side – and cricket generally – to distance itself from some of the stodgy stuff played in previous series.
He hoped Benaud and his men, with the coming young stroke-maker, Norm O’Neill in their midst, would lead the way.
This is the story of the first ever tied test in the history of the game, at the Gabba, 1960.
