Playing for a President’s XI against a Prime Minister’s XI he scored 14 and 1 and took four wickets in the match for 117 runs. He thus ended his career with 1846 wickets at an average of 18.97 and 7333 runs at 16.08. How many more wickets would he have taken had he not had that breach with Yorkshire? We can only speculate.
