Famous Cricketers No 79 - Richard Hadlee

partnership of 142 for the fifth wicket. Nottinghamshire, although holding the initiative, were unable to force a win later in the game. However, the season ended with a victory over Sussex and Hadlee in this match returned figures of 8 for 80, taking 5 for 21 in the first innings. Despite the disappointment of failing to win a trophy during the season, this was still a summer of achievement for Hadlee and but for injury he would certainly have accomplished much more. However, for the first time since his debut season, his end of season bowling average in first-class games was now under twenty and it remained there for the rest of his career.
