Famous Cricketers No 4 - F.E.Woolley

1920/21 - M.C.C. in Australia In a disastrous tour for England, yet again Woolley failed to show his true form overseas. Four useful fifties stood out from his Test batting record, while his bowling made little impression. 138 in 2¼ hours against New South Wales proved to be his only major innings, continuing his liking for Sydney.
