26 Jan 1989

Allan Border is many things to many people - gritty, dour, brave and inspirational are all words that have been used to describe the man who presided over Australia's resurgence in world cricket. On this day, though, one other plaudit can be added - 'match-winning bowler'. West Indies, seemingly unbeatable, are blown away by Border's career-best 7-46. The skipper eventually grabs 4 more in the second innings to finish with 11 in the match.
