Allan Border makes history by becoming the first man to score 150 in both innings of a Test match

On March 23, 1980, one of the most insipid games — only in terms of the result — between Pakistan and Australia, came to a close at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The contest saw Allan Border become the only player to register scores over 150 in both innings of a Test, Dennis Lillee register his best bowling spell in the sub-continent and Pakistani wicket-keeper Taslim Arif grab his first Test wicket. Karthik Parimal revisits the moments.
