Until the end of July, when they had eight wins under their belt, Glamorgan were always in the top four. Not that there was a great contribution from Shepherd. The annual report said “he lost some of his body action.” Wilf Wooller and Jim McConnon bore the brunt of the county attack, although Shepherd bowled more overs than anyone else.
