As a perpetual spoilsport, it is my duty to add they aren't the only ones. Farokh Engineer at Oval 1971 for his 59 with no fours and nine threes is one that quickly comes to mind. It rained on the third night and the outfield was very slow on the fourth day.To expand on it, they are the only batsmen to have scored a total of 50 or more without scoring a boundary.

Wow. I got one right. I feel so proud.SJS said:YESSSS !
You are right with the list, but not for the reason Lehmann is not on it.burkey_1988 said:Well, those are the top five in the list for most Tests missed between Test appearances for Australian cricketers.
Lehmann isn't on there because they had a longer period of time between Tests I suppose
To Australia ? Yes, once.archie mac said:Have you been here before SJS?
It is quite nice in that part of Victoria, Bowral is only about 90 mins from Canberra, so I have been their quite a bit over the years. I was surprised where the Bradman faamily house is located, so close to town.SJS said:To Australia ? Yes, once.
On a week's vacation to a small place called Mallacoota. On the way back I spent a couple of days in Sydney and had a great evening and dinner on a restaurant on the waterfront at the harbour (I think it was the harbour) This was before the Sydney olympics and the city was undergoing heavy construction.
I also visited the holy site at Bowral
Not his first Test, his first Test experience as a member of the team. (giving it away)burkey_1988 said:Something to do his performance on debut ? I see he took 1/27 and got 52 but I don't think I'm on the right track.
Is the fact those guys missed so many Tests actually relevant?
Yes, I wanted to know how many Tests between his selection as 12 man and his Test debut.burkey_1988 said:I assume you mean 12th man
