rarely has the batting of a team been so dominated by one man as len hutton did the england side of 1950-51. he made 533 runs at an average of 88.83, 50 runs more than the next man reg simpson (38.77) and all the others except freddie brown (26.25) averaged under 20. he had broken his left arm in an accident on a commando course while a sergeant in the army physical training corps in the war and after an operation using 46 stitches, grafting bone from his leg onto his arm, which was left 2 inches (5 cm) shorter and weaker than his right. he was forced to review his technique and use a lightened bat, but his defence was flawless and he was an expert on 'sticky dogs' like brisbane and averaged higher in post-war tests than in his youth, when he had made the record score of 364 at the oval in 1938. the yorkshireman was saddled with the heavy burden of knowing that england depended on his skill and was the prime target of the australian fast bowlers keith miller and ray lindwall. of jack iverson hutton told miller "ah'll show thee how to play 'im", but never quite fathomed his mystery spin. england had one other great batsmen, the 'golden boy' denis compton whose heroic strokeplay had enthralled the crowds in 1946-47 and 1948. unlike hutton he had no inhibition about playing his shots, but had spent much of 1950 suffering from the knee injury that would plague his career. he went on the tour against the advice of his doctor, who warned that his leg may be immobilised and took pain-killing drugs throughout the visit. it is unlikely that any batsman has had such a checked tour as compton in 1950-51, he averaged 7.57 in the tests and 92.11 in the other first class matches, a difference of nearly 85 runs. his loss of form at the highest level was a severe blow to england's chances. reg simpson came a poor second to hutton in the test averages, his 349 runs (38.77) being almost entirely dependent on his 156 not out on his 31st birthday in the fifth and final test. this innings was the finest of his career, first adding 131 with hutton and 64 out of a stand of 74 for the last wicket to put england 103 runs ahead and gave them their first victory against australia since 1938. it was the highest score of his test career and he also made 269, his highest first class hundred against the sheffield shield champions new south wales. he was a fearless and effective player of fast bowling, but had a habit of getting out to spin bowlers, who he regarded with contempt. hutton's regular opening partner was the lancashire stalwart cyril washbrook, with whom he added 359 against south africa in 1948-49, still a record opening stand for england. he averaged over 50 against don bradman's 1948 australians, but couldn't handle the mystery spin of jack iverson. apart from the captain's own efforts - freddie brown came third in the england test averages with 210 runs at 26.25 - the rest of the england batting was woefully poor. john dewes had amassed 1,262 runs (78.88) for cambridge and 739 (61.58) for middlesex in 1950 with defensive prods and pushes. for cambridge he added 343 vs the west indies and 349 vs sussex with david sheppard, but they fared worse when not playing on the friendly wicket at fenners. sheppard is best remembered for taking holy orders, becoming the first reverend to play test cricket, becoming captain of sussex and england and later bishop of liverpool. gilbert parkhouse was a welsh middle order batsman who was sent in to open for glamorgan in 1950 and made such as success of it that he broke the county record by making seven centuries in a season. the teenage brian close was chosen after he took 100 wickets and made 1,000 runs in 1949 and became england's youngest ever player aged 18 years and 149 days. despite respectable all-round figures close never reached the heights expected of him in test cricket, though his tough, uncompromising, captaincy of yorkshire, somerset and england would become the stuff of legend. trevor bailey's barnacle-like qualities were already apparent and this notorious stonewaller tended to substitute stubbornness for strokeplay, though he made few runs in this series.
