Records show it was the coldest day on which a Test match had been played. However, this was of little interest to the West Indies cricketers as they suffered their worst defeat, losing by an innings and 237 runs.
As the English bowlers brushed aside the shivering batsmen at Headingley, temperatures dipped as low as 7.4C (45F).
Bill Frindall, the match statistician, confirmed that the previous lowest temperature in which a Test match in England had been played was at Edgbaston in 1965, against New Zealand, when the Mercury rose to just 8C (46F).
The coldest place in the UK yesterday was High Wycombe, Bucks, where the temperature crept up to 4.8C (40F). By contrast in Exeter the thermometer climbed to a relatively balmy 15C (59F).
Bellerive Oval
Bellerive,
Hobart, Tasmania
The headquarters of Tasmanian cricket relocated from the old TCA ground on Hobart's Queen's Domain to the scenic Bellerive Oval on the eastern shore of the Derwent River in 1987. The former community-based sports field has been progressively upgraded since with a major redevelopment completed during 2000-02. The venue consists of three principal stands - the Southern Stand (capacity 5800) and the Members and Players Pavilions; there are two smaller stands and a traditional hill on the eastern boundary which collectively contribute to a capacity crowd of 16,000. The dimensions of the playing surface are 175m x 135m - slightly longer but somewhat narrower than the MCG.A cricket test match is played for 5 days.
