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:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
