Famous Cricketers No 97 - Eddie Paynter

runs which enabled England to take a small first innings lead. In this innings he batted for 238 minutes and hit ten fours. The rubber was won by England by four matches to one and the main object of the sustained hostile method of “bodyline” bowling was achieved which was to curb the high scoring propensity of Bradman. Paynter only played in three of the Tests, making one other score over fifty in the turbulent Test at Adelaide. His overall record on the tour was somewhat disappointing, making only 626 runs from nineteen visits to the crease with one century and four fifties. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 97.
