October 11th.
At Karachi, on this day in 1956, Pakistan and Australia blocked their way through the slowest day in Test history.
They mustered only 95 runs between them in a yawn-inducing full day's play, for the loss of 12 wickets. The match itself eventually went to Pakistan, thanks mainly to a Herculean performance from Fazal Mahmood. On a matting pitch, he returned match figures of 70-28-114-13 as an Australian side including Harvey, Miller, Benaud and Davidson were skittled for 80 and 187. The one-off Test was the first between the sides.
