Famous Cricketers No 66 - Wilfred Rhodes

Second Test at Johannesburg. In this match he added 141 with A.E.Relf for the first wicket and 152 with C.P.Mead for the third. Although not really needed in the Tests when he took only six wickets, his bowling in the other first-class matches proved as accurate and hostile as ever taking 25 wickets.
