1st tied Test was caused by direct hit off penultimate ball
Australia needed one run off two balls with one wicket remaining when Windies' Joe Solomon's direct hit resulted in the first-ever tied Test. The match's last over, consisting of eight balls, involved a leg-bye, bye, caught behind, dropped catch, and two run-outs. The first-ever tied TestÂ ended on December 14, 1960, almost 84 years since the first Test in 1877.
