On this day in 1959, Mushtaq Mohammad of Pakistan made his Test debut against the West Indies. He was 15 years and 124 days old at the time, which made him the youngest Test cricketer until Pakistan's own Hasan Raza made his debut in 1996. Coming from the legendary Mohammad family, Mushtaq went on to carry the legacy of his family for several years, becoming a valuable all-rounder for Pakistan.

On This Day:

45 Years ago; Test Cricket witnessed one of the finest ever fast bowling performance and probably the first mega effect of reverse swing by none other than Sarfaraz Nawaz...

While Chasing target of 382; Australia was in comfortable position at 305/3 with well set Border & Kim Hughes...

Sarfaraz asked his captain Mushtaq Mohammed to give him the ball & wrecked havoc after that...

He picked up 7 wickets for 1 runs in next 33 balls !
Ended up with figures of 9 wickets in an inning(remaining wicket was a run out)
5 out of these 9 wickets are clean bowled....

Australia bowled out to 310 & lost the game by 77 runs...

Last 5 batters of Australia who dismissed; scored ZERO runs between them combined...
