First Test team to declare their first innings and then lose by an innings

Australia declared their first innings at 237 for 9 late on the first day of the 2nd Test against India at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, India, on 2 March 2013 to give their bowlers three overs (18 balls) at the hosts’ opening batsmen before the close of play. India reached 503 all out in their first innings to lead by 266 runs and, on the fourth day of the match, Australia collapsed from 74 for 2 to 131 all out in their second innings to lose by an innings and 135 runs. Remarkably, it was the first time in the 2,076-match history of Test cricket that a team had tasted defeat after declaring their first innings. Australia’s last pair, James Pattinson (1 not out) and Xavier Doherty (0 not out), faced 11 balls before captain Michael Clarke (who was last man out for 91) called them back to the pavilion after declaring an innings that lasted 85 overs. This gave the Australian bowlers three overs (two overs were lost in the 90-over day for the change of innings) at India’s openers, Murali Vijay and Virender Sehwag. Key performances in the 2nd Test: “Player of the Match” Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay (both India), who scored 204 and 167 runs respectively to set up a first innings lead of 266 runs. Spin bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja (both India), who claimed five wickets for 63 runs and three wickets for 33 runs respectively to precipitate Australia’s second innings collapse from 56 without loss to 131 all out. India took a 2-0 lead in the four-match series with victory in Hyderabad. Mahendra Singh Dhoni - the world's highest-paid cricketer ($26.5 million, or £16.9 million, in the year to June 2012; see record ID 82230) - also became India’s most successful Test captain with 22 wins. ESPN Cricinfo commentary in reaction to Australia’s first innings declaration: Er, Doherty is walking back as Australia have declared [on] 237 for 9. They want some overs at India this evening. Clarke will have three overs at India with this declaration. How's that for intent?” "A bold declaration by Clark. Not much would have happened anyway for this last pair, but still a very bold and proactive decision." "To quote the great Zaphod Beeblebrox: Er, hey, what?” "Mr Clarke, do you know that India always struggle to take the final wicket? You [Australia] could have had [an] additional 30-40 runs!"
