Mankad's Match — 72, 184 and 5 Wickets at Lord's, 1952

England vs India

1952-06-24

In the second Test of India's miserable 1952 tour of England, Vinoo Mankad almost single-handedly turned the match into a contest. After being recalled from Lancashire League cricket at the last moment, he scored 72 and 184, bowled 73 overs of left-arm spin in England's first innings to take 5 for 196, and still finished on the losing side. The Lord's Test became known forever as 'Mankad's Match'.

Vinoo Mankad's All-Round Tour of Australia — 1947-48

India v Australia

1948-02-06

Vinoo Mankad's first overseas tour was a masterclass of all-round cricket. On the 1947-48 tour of Australia he scored 583 Test runs at 44.84 (centuries in the third and fifth Tests at Melbourne, 116 and 111), took 17 Test wickets with his slow left-arm, ran out Bill Brown twice for backing up too far at the non-striker's end — coining the now-famous term 'Mankading' — and finished with over 1,400 first-class runs and 50 wickets across the trip.
