U19 Debutant
Apparently struggled vs the pace of the WI from that era I think.
I'm pretty sure he was reported to have said he's happy that Aus never retaliated Bodyline at them ..maybe he was worried and I think there are even a some quotes from Les Ames saying that the West Indian quicks really troubled Hammond when they bowled short at him..

Wasn't Hammond a bit of a minnow basher? I have no idea obviously but i'm certain i've heard something like that somewhere.
Pretty much bashed everyone though Slifer is right to say he struggled against the WI. I think that was down to the fact that he had difficulty with Constantine in particular rather than the team generally.
 

Shady Slim

International Coach
