England Cricket Legends

Product Information

He had been selected for the 1939/40 winter tour of India, but the outbreak of war saw Pope off to serve with The Royal Signals. He was chosen to tour Australia and New Zealand in 1974/5 but suffered a hamstring injury and returned home from what ended up being a real trial by pace as Lillee and Thomson were unleashed on England’s batsmen. Nonetheless, Barnett scored 66 (and 0) on his Lord’s debut against Sri Lanka in 1988 and then 80 and 34 in his second Test, against Australia at Leeds in 1989, but scores of 14, 10 and 3 in the next two matches weren’t enough to save his place in the side. His Test debut came against Australia at Brisbane on the ‘Bodyline’ tour of 1932/3 and he also played against New Zealand on the same winter tour, featuring in a further two Tests at home against the 1934 Australians.

In 1897 he made his Test debut against Australia at Sydney and kept in all five matches in the series, making one half century and averaging just over 24. Australia won the series by four matches to one and Storer was not selected again until 1899 when he returned to play against Australia at Trent Bridge, while in a match for Derbyshire against MCC at Lord’s in 1900 he scored 175 not out which – helped by the net boundary experiment – included two sevens, five sixes and five fives. These players not only brought glory to their nation but also revolutionised the way the game was played.
