End of Cricket Career
The rest of Bissett's career as a cricketer was anticlimax. Before the English team left South Africa, Bissett played a single first-class match for Western Province against them, and failed to take any wickets.
Bissett was unable "to make the trip" when South Africa toured England in 1929. He in fact played in only one further first-class match, a solitary appearance for Transvaal in the 1929-30 season in which he took two wickets in the first Natal innings, but did not bowl at all in the 152 overs of the second innings. The following year, he played in a non-first-class match for a Northern Rhodesia side against the 1930-31 England touring team, taking two wickets.

Famous quotes containing the words cricket and/or career:
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
