Across 62 Test matches for England, Ted Dexter put fast bowlers around the world to the sword with impressive regularity.
He famously blasted 70 runs off just 73 balls against a West Indies attack featuring ICC Hall of Famer Wes Hall and the great Charlie Griffith after coming out to bat with England in trouble at 0/1. While such aggression was common from Dexter when counter-attacking, he was equally capable of settling in for the long haul. Of the nine centuries he scored for England, six went past 140.
Across a 10-year-career from 1958 to 1968, Dexter scored 4502 runs at 47.89 in Test cricket and finished his playing days with more than 20,000 first-class runs to his name.
