Best knock by a trundler?

Wondering what are the best test innings played by a genuine trundler, not a kinda of allrounder like Wasim or so. Needs to be at least 50 or above to qualify

I always associate "trundler" as the pace they bowl at (Colin De Grandhomme speed or slower), not whether someone is an allrounder/part allrounder/just bowler etc.

I think Bunter scored a nice double ton against the Aussies. He was definitely a trundler and quite a useful one at that.

Woakes's 84 in dodgy conditions batting last was a glorious knock.
Don't know whether to heart react this post for the positive Woakes reference or angry react it for the implication he's both a trundler and sub Wasim tier with the bat.

In Harry Pearson's book "The Trundlers", he picks Gooch in his England all-time trundlers XI, so I'll go for his 154 v the West Indies in 1991.

Hobbs, Grace, Worrell, Walcott and Walters are also in his England/RoW XIs, so it has some stiff competition.
