Famous Cricketers No 63 - A.O.Jones

The only Test in which Arthur Owen got into double figures in both innings was the last one. England had a first innings lead of 45 and were set 211 to win. After overnight rain, the target on the fourth day was 124 with 7 wickets in hand. Jessop was out without adding to his score. The highest ensuing stand was one of 37 between J.T.Tyldesley and Arthur Owen, the latter being the only one to play Noble with any sign of confidence. This bowler took five of the wickets remaining and England lost by their smallest margin of the tour. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 190.
