On this day, four cricketers made began their journey in Test cricket - Richie Benaud, Surinder Amarnath, Wasim Akram and Mark Waugh. We take a look at how they performed on their respective Test debuts.
Richie Benaud (1952)
The Australian cricketer-turned commentator was part of a strong line-up against the West Indies. He scored 3 and 19 runs and managed to scalp the wicket of Alf Valentine giving 14 runs during his bowling spell. Windies were bowled out for just 78 in the first innings. Australia beat West Indies by a large margin even though Jeff Stollmeyer scored a hundred in the second innings. (Pic/ AFP)
