Famous Cricketers No 87 - J.H.Wardle

59 runs but it should be said that the pitch for this match was by far the best on which any of the season’s Test Matches were played. As a batsman he scored 526 runs at an average of 15.02 and he held twenty-two catches. At Bradford, against Warwickshire, he played an innings of 55 not out in two and a half hours in a low scoring match which showed that he was not merely a hard-hitter.
