His batting was not as prolific as before and his top score was only 73 in the Tests and his bowling accounted for only four wickets. Outside the Tests he was remarkably successful and the ‘piece-de-resistance’ was an innings of 210 in 315 minutes against South Australia at Adelaide. He added 368 with C.A.G.Russell for the second wicket which still stands as a record by an English team in Australia. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 745.
