In the Ist Test in the 2001 Ashes series at Birmingham, Alec Stewart and Andy Caddick rescued England's batting from complete disasters. Both put an incredible batting show on the last wicket, which frustrates Australian bowlers. After lunch Australians picked up the game to get five wickets and it looked like they'd wrap it up pretty quickly after England had them 9/191 just after tea. But Caddick and Stewart got going and smashed all around the park to nearly take the score to 300. Alec Stewart scored 65 off 82 balls including 9 fours and Andy Caddick remains not out on 49 in 59 balls including 7 fours and 1 six. Let's get into the video.
The 103 run-partnership between Alec Stewart and Andrew Caddick was the 15th-century partnership for the tenth wicket in Test cricket. It was the fourth-century partnership for England in all Tests. It was also the best for England against Australia on home soil. Australia won the test match by an innings and 118 runs. It was a pretty clinical performance, professional," "as they put the ball in the right place and took the catches. Australia played aggressive cricket and was backed by the crowd; they had a good time out there.
