Famous Cricketers No 45 - Hedley Verity

(15-124 in the match) at Melbourne in 1904. In this same Lord’s Test he also took part in another record which has been overshadowed by his bowling feat: when Oldfield stumped him in England’s innings he became the first wicket-keeper to do the Test “double” of 1000 runs and 100 victims.
