Australia and England clash at the T20 World Cup in Dubai on Saturday in the latest installment of global cricket's oldest rivalry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Let's take a look at the first meetings between Australia and England in the international game's three formats:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
First Test<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Melbourne, March 15-19, 1877<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n The Australian team, containing only four non-British born players, made 245 in their first innings. Opener Charles Bannerman hit 165 of them before retiring hurt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n England replied with 196 with Harry Jupp top-scoring on 63. However, in an indication of things to come over the next century and a half, Jupp was widely booed by home fans after he trod on his stumps while still to score and replaced the bails without the umpires noticing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Australia scored 104 in their second innings but England, chasing 154 to win, were dismissed for 108 and lost by 45 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Australian captain David Gregory was presented with a gold medal while his teammates took home silver ones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "This was a feather in their cap and a distinction no Englishman would begrudge them," England captain James Lillywhite was reported to have said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Remarkably, when the arch-rivals met in Melbourne a hundred years later for the Centenary Test, Australia won by exactly the same margin - 45 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n First ODI<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Melbourne, January 5, 1971<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Not only the first ODI between Australia and England but the first ODI anywhere and it came about by accident.<\/p>\r\n\r\n With the third Test washed out, the game was abandoned and officials decided to play a one-off one-day game consisting of 40 eight-ball overs per side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n England were all out for 190 with John Edrich making 82 before Australia reached their target with five wickets and 42 balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The Times wrote: "So successful was the one-day cricket match played here today that one is bound to wonder what it may lead to."<\/p>\r\n\r\n A crowd of 46,000 watched the game -- much to the surprise of the organisers -- and the format was here to stay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n First T20I<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Southampton, June 13, 2005<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n In a one-off T20 clash, England made 179-8. Paul Collingwood top-scored with 46 and Glenn McGrath took three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Australia were dismissed for just 79 in the 15th over with seamer Jon Lewis claiming 4-24.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Kevin Pietersen was man of the match for his 34 off 18 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "The result won't do them any good and probably won't do us any harm," said Australia skipper Ricky Ponting after a 100-run defeat<\/p>\r\n\r\n "Hopefully it will have some sort of impact on us; hopefully it will make us a bit more determined."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
