Allen hill played in the first ever test cricket match between England and Australia at Melbourne cricket ground on the 15 th March 1877. Hill opened the bowling for England and in the fourth over he bowled the Australian no.2 batsman, Nat Thompson, to take the honour of being the first test bowler to take a wicket and the first test bowler to bowl a batsman. Hill achieved another first when Australia were 40 for 1; he caught out Australian no.3 Tom Horan off a delivery from Alfred Shaw of England and became the first international fielder to take a catch in a test match.
