About that last wicket stand between Kippax and Hooker ....

....Hooker, close to exhaustion after the longest innings of his life, having resisted an extremely strong attack for 304 minutes without giving a chance was finally out for 62.

His abiding memory for years , though, was of a very annoyed Kippax coming down the wicket and reprimanding him, "You fool. You threw it away. You could have got your hundred !"
