Synopsis

It was the venue for one of the closest and most thrilling Test matches in England in 1902, when Australia won by 3 runs; it was where Alan Lamb scored the third of his successive Test centuries in 1984 (just as Charlie Macartney did in 1926); it was the setting for Fred Trueman's demolition of India in 1952 and Jim Laker's nineteen-wicket haul in 1976.

David Mortimer looks at every Test match played at Old Trafford since the first in 1884. Full scorecards and match reports for every game are brought alive by the words of those who played, watched and organised some of the greatest ever Tests. He has talked to some of the many great players who have appeared at Old Trafford and begins his book with a history of this famous ground.
