About Edgbaston
Edgbaston staged its first Test in 1902, when Australia were bowled out for 36, and its crowds have a reputation as some of the loudest in England. Two of the closest finishes in cricket happened here: the tie between Australia and South Africa in the 1999 World Cup semi-final, which sent Australia to the final on their better record in the earlier stages, and England's two-run win in the 2005 Ashes. South Africa's 30 all out in 1924 is the lowest total at the ground, and England's 710 for 7 declared against India in 2011, with Alastair Cook's 294, the highest. Peter May's 285 not out in 1957, in a stand of 411 with Colin Cowdrey, saved a Test against the West Indies. James Anderson has taken 52 Test wickets here. England have won 29 of their 55 Tests here and lost only 11, and Glenn Turner's 171 not out against East Africa in the 1975 World Cup is the highest one-day score at the ground.
