In the history of test cricket, how many matches are tied? Name the teams involved in tie match/ matches.?

Answer 1

This is a good question
This is very rare in Test cricket and has happened only twice in its long history, but they are slightly more commonplace in limited-overs matches.

Tied Test refers to two matches of Test cricket, the first in 1960 and the second in 1986, both of which ended as a tie: that is, the aggregate scores of both teams were equal at the conclusion of play, and the side batting last had completed its innings with all 10 batsmen being out. Both Tied Tests involved the Australian cricket team. Interestingly, both matches ended in the last possible over of play on the last day.

As of March 2006, a tie has occurred only twice out of the 1,785 Test matches played since 1876. A tie should not be confused with a draw, which is a much more common result in cricket. A draw occurs when the match is not completed in the time available, whereas a tie is when the scores are equal at the conclusion of play, and the side batting last has completed its innings.

First Tie :

The first Tied Test was played between the West Indian cricket team and the Australian cricket team and was the inaugural Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy, named after the West Indian captain in this match, Frank Worrell.

The match was played at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, known as "The Gabba", in Brisbane, Australia, between December 9 and December 14, 1960. As the first ever tied Test, it is often referred to as The Tied Test, which most cricket followers will understand unambiguously.

West Indies 1st Innings
After a disastrous start of 65-3, Garry Sobers made 132 in a rapid 174 minutes. Alan Davidson took 5-135. West Indies were all out for 453 runs.
Australia 1st Innings
Norm O'Neill made 181 in 401 minutes. Australia were all out for 505, a lead of 52.
West Indies 2nd Innings
Alan Davidson took 6-87 and West Indies made 284, setting Australia a target of 233 runs to win.
Australia 2nd innings
Davidson and Australian captain, Richie Benaud. Benaud set a 7th-wicket partnership record of 134 between the West Indies and Australia.
Last over
Wes Hall was bowling, with the clock showing 5:56. Australia stood at 227-7, needing six runs to win from the 8-ball over (the standard for Tests in Australia at the time) with three wickets in hand.
1st ball
Wally Grout, facing, was hit on thigh. Benaud called him through for a single to take strike. Five runs were need to win from seven balls.
2nd ball
Benaud attempted a hook shot but was caught behind by wicket-keeper Gerry Alexander. The score was 228-8.
3rd ball
The new batsman, Ian Meckiff, cut to mid-off. No run. Still five runs to win from five balls.
4th ball
The ball flew down leg-side without making contact with Meckiff's bat. Grout called him through for a bye. Alexander threw the ball to the bowler's end to try to run out Meckiff, but his throw missed and Meckiff made his ground. Four runs to win from four balls.
5th ball
Grout fended a bouncer to square leg, where Rohan Kanhai was ready to take the catch. Hall also attempted to take the catch in his follow-through, resulting in a fielding mix-up which allows Meckiff and Grout take a single and the catch was not taken. Three runs to win from three balls.
6th ball
Meckiff swung desperately and sent the ball towards the mid-wicket boundary. The batsmen ran two runs as Conrad Hunte scooped the ball up just inside the fence. The batsmen attempted a third run for victory but Hunte's return was flat and true, straight into the gloves of Alexander, who whipped off the bails before Grout could get home. The teams were tied. Australia were on 232-9, requiring one run to win with one wicket in hand and two balls remaining.
7th ball
The new batsman, Lindsay Kline, pushed the ball to square leg and set off for a single. Joe Solomon scooped up the ball and, with one stump to aim for from 12 metres out, threw the ball in like a rocket, to run Meckiff out by a few inches.
Australia were all out for 232 and the match ended in the first tie in almost 100 years of Test cricket.

Second Tie :

The second Tied Test was also the first Test of a series, this time of three Tests played between Australia and India, at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Madras, in India between September 18 and September 22, 1986. Conditions were said to be very hot, about 40ºC, with 80% humidity.

Australia 1st Innings
Australia declared at 574 for 7 early on the third day. Dean Jones made 210, which was then the highest score by an Australian in a Test in India, having faced 330 balls and hit 27 fours and 2 sixes. He had to be treated in hospital after the completion of the innings for heat exhaustion. Australian coach Bob Simpson described it as "the greatest innings ever played for Australia". David Boon scored 122, and Australian captain, Allan Border, 106.
India 1st Innings
India lost 7 wickets for 270 runs by the end of the third day, and were all out for 397, avoiding the follow on by only 23 runs and trailing by 177. Indian captain Kapil Dev made 119 and Greg Matthews took 5-103 wearing a sweater to prove his toughness. Sunil Gavaskar became the first Test cricketer to make 100 consecutive Test appearances.
Australia 2nd Innings
Australia declared at 170 for 5, their overnight score at the end of the fourth day, setting India a target of 348 to win.
India 2nd Innings
Starting positively, India reached 204 for 2, when Gavaskar was third out for 90. India reached 291 for 5 when Chandrakant Pandit was out. A flurry of tail-end wickets fell to leave India on 344 for 9 by the last over.
Last Over
Greg Matthews was bowling to Ravi Shastri, with India's last man Maninder Singh at the bowler's end. India needed four runs to win from the 6-ball over with only one wicket remaining.
1st ball
To Shastri: no run. Four runs required off five balls.
2nd ball
Shastri took two runs, retaining the strike. Two runs required off four balls.
3rd ball
Shastri pushed the ball to square leg for a single. The scores were tied, with one run required for victory, but the Indian 11th man was now on strike.
4th ball
To Singh: no run. One run required off two balls.
5th ball
The ball hit Singh on his back leg and umpire Vikram Raju called him out leg before wicket after a loud appeal.
India were all out for 347, Matthews having taken 5-146 (10-249 in the match) and Ray Bright 5-94, and the match was the second tie in Test cricket. Dean Jones and Kapil Dev were Men of the Match.

Answer 3

Since Test matches began in 1876, there have only ever been two tied matches.

The first ever instance was in December 1960 in Brisbane, between Australia and West Indies.

The last time it happened was in September 1986 in Chennai (then called Madras), between India and Australia.

Answer 4

The first tied test match was between Australia - West Indies in Guyana. Border's Australian tied in Chennai (Madras then) test against an Indian XI led by Sunil Gavaskar and Sunil Gavaskar scored one of his memorable test century. I think this happened in 1978. This apart there are some one dayers. In T20 WC 2007, India- Pakistan tied their match at 1609 apiece and India won it on bowl out. Pradeep, please post your questions in proper, simple English.
