A tie is considered incredibly rare. In fact, the probability of both teams finishing on the same score in a match is only 1 in 100. In a Test match, this probability drops to 0.001%. This illustrates how difficult it is for a Test match to be tied. In 148 years, 2,599 Test matches have been played, but only two have been tied. The first tied Test was Test No. 498, played between Australia and West Indies at Brisbane in 1960-61, while the second Test, Test No. 1052, was contested between Australia and India in Madras on this day, September 22nd. This Test is remembered not only for the thrilling final moments, but also for the historic LBW decision that led to a tie. This decision was so controversial that the umpire who gave it ended his career with the match.
