1981 - Third Test, Headingley
16, 17, 18, 20 & 21 July
England win by 18 runs
The drama started at Headingley with
the visitors on the verge of wrapping
up an easy win within four days to go
2-0 up.
Up stepped Ian Botham with a gung-ho
149 to at least make Australia bat
again, when an inspired Bob Willis
swept through their line-up with 8-43.
It sealed a remarkable 18-run win and
signalled an about turn in the series
