Famous Cricekters No 53 - George Geary

1933 Never fully fit, Geary missed several matches, and, after pulling a muscle in mid-August disappeared from the team completely. His bowling figures, by his own high standards, were poor ; not a single five-wicket innings. With the bat, he scored 81 against Surrey, and there were two other fifties. He was not called on for any of the West Indies Tests, or any other representative matches. The end of his long career seemed to be imminent. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 420.
