England cricket captain David Gower is pictured above looking at his elegant
best during his innings
of 61 in the 3rd Texaco Trophy One Day
International versus Australia on 29th May 1989.
Despite England
totalling an impressive 278-7 from their 55 overs Australia recorded a 6
wicket
victory to tie the series 1-1. The figures above show only
David's latter day appearances against Australia
- his earlier
performances can be seen on the previous page. In total he scored 3269
runs in
42 matches at an average of 44.78 - virtually identical to his
overall average of 44.25.
