His 5 wickets here and his name on the Lords honours board was Bob Holland's finest moment (almost his only moment) in test cricket. For the most part, his gentle leg spin lacked threat in English conditions. If he ever bowled a googly, he seemed to have left it on the plane on the way over from Australia!
He ended up winning the Ashes, but - my word - Gower was a thick captain. I recall the use of two nightwatchmen at the time. How to throw a test match away.
