First men's Test match at the WACA Ground

A historic moment when the first men's Test match was played at the Western Australian Cricket Foundation Ground. Australia played England in the second Test 11-16 December which was a drawn match. Notable moments included Western Australian fast bowler Graham McKenzie opening the Test match bowling to Boycott, who scored the first Test runs at the ground, with Western Australian wicketkeeper Rod Marsh behind the stumps. Australia's Greg Chappell scored a debut century (108), Ian Redpath 171 while for England Brian Luckhurst scored 131. A new Test Stand was built for the match which in 1985 was renamed the Inverarity Stand.
