Every England men\u2019s Test opener in the 21st century<\/a><\/p>\n Following on in the Sydney Test match of 1894\/95, England had managed to avoid the innings defeat but could set a target of only 177. Australia, 113-2 at stumps, were firm favourites. But things changed overnight as the rain came lashing down. England left-arm spinner Bobby Peel was a master on a wet wicket of \u201cstiff black soil\u201d that dried as the sun came out. Unfortunately, Peel had five teeth extracted before the Test, and after an ordinary game and little to look forward to, lay in his room, stone drunk.<\/p>\n Also play: Quiz!

He put Peel under a cold shower. \u201cGive me the ball, Mr Stoddart, and I\u2019ll have t\u2019boogers out before loonch,\u201d announced a rejuvenated Peel. In his first over, Peel \u201ccut a flake out of the pitch half as big as his hand\u201d with a ball. He took 6-67, and England became the first team to win a Test match after following on.<\/p>\n Also play: Quiz!
