The 1960 Brisbane Test between West Indies and Australia is legendary as the first ever tied Test in cricket history, marked by dramatic swings, exceptional performances, and a nerve-shredding finish.

The Test culminated in a frenetic last over bowled by Wes Hall, with Australia chasing the West Indies' target and needing six runs with three wickets in hand. The sequence of the final over, as recounted by cricket historians:

Garfield Sobers scored a stylish 132 and Frank Worrell led the Windies with both bat and field placements.

This match not only produced incredible cricketing moments with multiple collapses, hat-tricks, and heroic partnerships, but also rejuvenated cricket’s appeal in Australia and across the world. The camaraderie shown between the two sides post-match and the enthusiastic reception of West Indies by Australian fans made this one of the most cherished series ever.

The Brisbane Tied Test became symbolic of sportsmanship and drama in cricket, setting a new standard for close finishes and mutual respect between cricketing nations, ushering in a golden era for West Indies cricket as well.
