拍品专文

GB scored 246* off 555 balls with this bat in the first innings of the first Test Match against India at Headingley in 1967, the then highest score for any batsman in Tests between England and India. This was GB’s only Test double century and resulted in him being dropped from the team for slow scoring, a decision many thought as curious, as the innings helped to set up a 6 wicket win for England. GB would later be recalled for the final match of the series at Edgbaston after describing the selectors’ decision as ‘the deepest wound of my professional life’.
