Allan BORDER - Australia - Test Record v England.

Allan is pictured above with England captain David Gower as they walk out to toss up in the 3rd Test at Trent Bridge,

Nottingham in July 1985. The match finished in a draw after Australia scored a massive 539 in reply to England's 456.

On a personal note Gower fared rather better than his Australian counterpart - scoring 166 & 17

whilst Allan could manage only 23!

Not surprisingly, England was the nation that Border played most of his Test cricket against.

He played 47 Tests in total against them, scoring 3548 runs at the excellent average of 56.31 -

a fair bit above his overall average of 50.56. Allan is pictured above during his fifth and final tour

to England in 1993 (photo G Herringshaw ©. By then he had helped mastermind a great upturn

in the fortunes of Australian Test cricket and it was not until the final Test of that '93 series that

Border tasted defeat against England for the first time since the 4th Test of the

1986/87 series - a run of 18 matches.
