| "Jack Hill the surprise choice of the 17. He bowls faster than the orthodox leg spinner but on our pitches does not turn to any extent.

Sir Donald Bradman (February 1953)" |

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or cricket:
“A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.”

A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
