Botham’s Blast Sparks Unlikely Leeds Revival
In July 1981 at Headingley, England stood on the brink of an innings defeat, following on 227 runs behind Australia’s first-innings total of 401 for 9 declared. Batting at 105 for 5 in their second innings, only one man had belief: Ian Botham. Ian Botham’s explosive, unbeaten 149 shifted the momentum, built on stands of 117 with Graham Dilley and 67 with Chris Old, ultimately leaving Australia with a chase of just 130. With Bob Willis’ magical 8 for 43 spell removing Australia for 111, England secured only the second Test victory in history after following on—a comeback that remains etched in cricket folklore.
Laxman Dravid Forge Historic Kolkata Miracle
From 274 runs behind in India’s first innings at Eden Gardens (March 11–15, 2001), the home side faced a daunting follow-on. On the fourth day, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid batted through the entire session, compiling a record 376-run partnership—Laxman smashing 275* and Dravid 155*—to turn a 274-run deficit into a lead of 315. Bowling brilliantly thereafter, Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar dismantled Australia in the fourth innings, handing India a famous 171-run victory and ending Australia’s record 16-match winning streak—a Test comeback for the ages.
Atherton’s Guides England to Edgbaston Upset
At Edgbaston, in the second Test of the 2005 Ashes, England presented Australia with a target of just 282 runs for victory. Chasing, the tourists reached 47 for no loss before a fierce bowling spell from Andrew Flintoff (4 wickets) reduced them to 75 for 6. Facing near-certain defeat, England rallied: Flintoff’s counter-attacking 73 off 86 balls hauled the hosts to 182 all out, before their bowlers defended the total by skittling Australia for 279—sealing a nail-biting two-run victory.
Vaughan and Trescothick Engineer Stunning Triumph
At Lord’s on July 13, 2002, England posted a formidable 325 for 5 in the NatWest Series final. Under lights, India stumbled to 146 for 5 but recovered through a memorable 121-run sixth-wicket stand between Yuvraj Singh (69) and Mohammad Kaif (87). The duo’s composed aggression extinguished England’s hopes as India chased down the target with three balls to spare, winning by two wickets. This chase marked India’s highest successful ODI pursuit at the time and sparked scenes of jubilation—an underdog masterpiece immortalized on cricket’s grandest stage.
