was the 4th Test of West Indies tour of Australia in 1993 and the visitors had been bowled out for just 225. Curtly Ambrose hit back with a six-wicket haul and West Indies, instead of conceding a lead, took a lead of around 40 runs.
Offie Tim May, who was making a comeback to the Australian side after three years, bowled exceptionally well in the second innings, with career best figures of 5-9-6.5 to dismiss West Indies for just 146.
With 186 runs to win in the last innings, Australia were reduced to 102 for 8, courtesy of another Ambrose special. This is when came Tim May joined Justin Langer at the crease. But, with 42 still needed, Langer was dismissed and May was left to partner last man Craig McDermott.
The tailenders had a brilliant 40-run partnership but as victory was just around the corner, McDermott was given out caught behind off a bouncer from Walsh and West Indies registered a 1-run victory - the first and the only such instance in Test history.
Beaten by 1 run on Australia Day
