Famous Cricketers No 80 - E.G.Wynyard

against Norfolk in 1887, the highest in all Hampshire matches. Wynyard’s spectacular innings and another half-century against the Australians, this time for MCC, led to his Test debut. Though Wynyard scored only 10 and 3 for England he explained many years later: “At the end of the second day England had made 60 for five wickets – 86 runs on. I had batted for about 20 minutes and was not out and I assure you that I never batted better in my life – I was hoping to make a good score on the next day. On the next morning Grace pressed his great thumb several times on the wicket and then spoke to us. ‘I’m sorry for you boys, for I know you’d like to make runs in a Test Match but you’ve all got to be out in half an hour. I must be bowling at them by 12.30 at the latest’ ”. England were all out for 84 and Australia, needing 91 to win, were bowled out by Peel and Hearne for 44. Wynyard’s next match after the Test saw him score his fourth century of the summer, 111 against Warwickshire. He batted for two hours 30 minutes, hit sixteen fours, added 113 for the third wicket with Francis Quinton (53) and his display was said to be without flaw. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct St Total Total 29.
