He was not unresponsive. Two centuries at his imperious best, and a 81 (one 6, one 5, 13 4s) in an hour against the Australians was a memorable final innings at Canterbury. He bowled well on occasion also, eleven wickets at Oakham being the highlight. In a fitting tribute he captained the Players at Lord's and was the recipient of a testimonial fund (£1,397 10s 3d).
