On this day: The accidental birth of limited-over cricket at the MCG
Fifty-five years ago, a rain-hit Test match unexpectedly birthed One-Day International cricket. England posted 190, and Australia, chasing 191, secured a five-wicket victory at the MCG. This accidental innovation, witnessed by 46,000 fans, paved the way for the World Cup and revolutionised the sport, leading to today's T20 era.
