Lot Details
Including: Allan Border, Geoff Marsh, Steve Waugh, Dean Jones, Mark Taylor, Graham Gooch, Mike Gatting, David Gower. A genuinely transformative series that launched Australia's long period of dominance over England. Australia won the six-Test series 4-0, with two matches drawn, under captain Allan Border, against David Gower's England. Player of the Series went to Terry Alderman for Australia and Jack Russell for England. Australia used just 12 players across the entire series — a remarkably settled, dominant campaign. First Test — Headingley (Australia won by 210 runs). This was the match that set the tone for the whole series. Australia posted a mammoth 601 for 7 declared in their first innings — Mark Taylor scored 136, his maiden Test century, in what one contemporary observer called a ‘workman-like’ innings, while Steve Waugh's contrasting 177 not out was one of flair, hitting the boundary 24 times and marking the coming-of-age of a batsman who'd previously gone 26 Tests without a century. England fought hard to avoid the follow-on, reaching 430 in reply, thanks to a century from Allan Lamb, but Terry Alderman's five-wicket hauls in both innings sealed the win and Man of the Match award for Alderman The following four tests featured dominant batting by Australia including centuries by Seve Waugh, Mark Taylor and Geoff Marsh with the Taylor/Marsh stand of 329 still remaining a record opening partnership. Mark Taylor was the series' leading run-scorer with an extraordinary 839 runs — second only to Don Bradman's all-time record of 974 in 1930. Alderman continued his dominant bowling performances across the entire series. This series is remembered as the launchpad for Border's Australians — the beginning of what became a genuine era of dominance through the 1990s and beyond, built around the emerging Border-Taylor-Waugh-Boon-Jones-Alderman core.
