Max Walker is pictured above during his fine spell of 30-6-66-3 in England's
1st innings of the drawn 1st Test at Lord's in June 1977. The 5th Test of that
1977 series against England, at The Oval, would prove to be Walker's farewell
to Test cricket, his 34 appearances producing 138 wickets at the impressive
average of 27.48. Max also chipped in with 583 runs at the handy average for
a lower order batsman of 19.53. Ironically, his best ever knock of 78 not out,
off just 84 balls, came in his final Test match innings !
Max Walker died on 28th September 2016 aged 68.
