On the 5th of December 1965, Australian greats Ray Lindwall, Arthur Morris and Keith Miller appeared in a testimonial, single wicket match at Manly Oval.

The day also included Richie Benaud, Doug Walters and Jim Burke. It was won by Manly all-rounder Terry Lee who defeated St George Batsman Billy Watson 32 to 10 in the final.

Lindwall, who flew down from Brisbane for the match, broke down after only 4 balls, and had to be helped off Manly Oval. The Daily Telegraph ran this unfortunate article, which made things look a little worse than what it was. The perceived 'blood' on Lindwall's shirt is actually mud.

We have not got the bottom of the exact format, but it looks to have been a 3 over match-up between individual players, with the player who loses each match-up eliminated at that time, and the winner progressing to the next round.

An estimated crowd of 1,500 people were on-hand to watch the event.
