Famous Cricketers No 66 - Wilfred Rhodes

still as deadly on a bad wicket batsmen did not fear him anymore on a good one and the fact that he took ten wickets in a match only once and had a best analysis of 6-90 against Sussex at Hove highlights the problem. He had trouble with his action and tried to copy John Gunn, who gave the ball an extraordinary amount of height, towards the end of the season without much luck. His batting however remained consistent and he scored the most runs to date. Three centuries were obtained all for Yorkshire, 119 against Leicestershire at Leicester, 115* against Somerset at Bath and 109 against the M.C.C. & Ground at Scarborough.
