Great Moments of The Ashes. No. 2.

In the 1902 Test at Edgbaston, the inaugural Test match there, Australia were 8 for 0 in their first innings when England captain Archie MacLaren gave spinner Len Braund an over so that Wilfred Rhodes and George Hirst could swap ends.

Seventy minutes later, Australia were 36 all out.
