The Pakistani cricket team toured Australia in December 1976 to play three Test matches. The series was drawn 1-1. Pakistan won the final match of the series, which was their first Test victory in Australia.[1]
During the first test of the series at Adelaide, Australian fast bowler Jeff Thomson collided with Alan Turner which resulted in a dislocated shoulder for Thommo. According to Several Cricket historians and cricketers from that era Thomson lost his lethal pace after the collision. Although he was still very quick but his Venomous speed was never the same after the incident.[2] During the third test at the SCG, Imran Khan took Six-wicket haul in both innings of the test match resulting in victory for Pakistan. Khan's 12-Wicket haul in the match are best ever bowling figures by an Asian bowler on Australian soil till date.[3]
Pakistan's win at Sydney is considered as a landmark event in their sporting history. The rise of Pakistan cricket in modern era is largely attributed to this victory.[4]
