Cricket Gyaan Time - Interesting Facts

First ball bowled in test cricket was by Alfred Shaw in 1876/77. It was faced by Charles Bannerman from Australia who eventually went to score 165 runs in that test. He became the first man to score century in test cricket.

James Southerton from England has the record for oldest test debut at 49 years 119 days a record unlikely to be eclipsed.He was also the first Test cricketer to die (at 52 years)

The first ever test match was won by Australia...Well they certainly know the art of winning and believe in keeping the wining habit going...Cheers to Australia.

First ever stumping was picked up by the Australian wicket keeper Jack Blackham.

Will come up with more cricketing records that are unheard of..
