Is it the only person who got out handled the ball at the non-strikers end? Can't remember the name but I think he's an Australian selector now.

EDIT: Andrew Hilditch the Aussie chairman of selectors.

Did the batsman average over 35 ?

No not really

Yes the player concerned holds this record for two reasons one he was never dismissed this way in a Test, and two; of those who also were never dismissed this way he played the most Test matches.

No, under 30 from memory, or though that was not considered so bad in his day

I'd hazard a guess at the record : Never been LBW in most matches.

As for the cricketer, might as well tell us who it is. Taken this as far as I could without arduous research.

Yes that is correct

If I tell you he was the first LH to hit a ton in a Test, or he was the first LH to captain Aust would that help
