 My father toured Australia six times (in 1954/5, 1958/9, 1962/3, 1965/6, 1970/1 and 1974/5) with immense success, winning friends everywhere.You have probably seen a photograph of the banner hung at the MCG, that tribute to him from his Australian fans.People still talk of his hundred in Melbourne on his first tour, and his highest first-class score, 307 at Adelaide.
