In the second innings, Edrich was hit in the ribs by the first ball he received (from Lillee) and retired to hospital with the total on 74. He resumed batting at 156 with two fractured ribs. Otherwise, he did not enjoy a very good season. Going on to New Zealand to play in a two-match Test series, Edrich scored only one fifty. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 480.
