I remember that poor captaincy by Wasim Bari.. England scored a mammoth total of 450 plus ..and declared in about 150 overs out of which the ace bowler Sarfraz Nawaz was given only 6 overs.. Sikandar and Liaqat Ali both bowled above 40 overs each.. Wasim Bari kept them on and on. Even Iqbal Qasim was not given 15 overs..
Very nearly. The first person to use a helmet in an international match was Graham Yallop for Australia versus the West Indies, in Bridgetown, also in 1978. Note the early helmets too. They were essentially motorcycle helmets without the front vizer.

1.50 Rare sight in 78, batsman in helmet ! First time in tests ?

Yes.. the Star Players were busy in Pecker's circus I think 🙂
Unusual to see Botham bowling a no ball
