Career
His batting average in Tests (48.10) was substantially higher than he achieved in all first-class cricket (35.44), despite his not making his Test debut until the comparatively advanced age of thirty-three.[1] After years of scurrying accumulation for Middlesex, Mike Brearley's accession to the England captaincy did his international cause no harm. His brief Test career, however, was ended prematurely by a bad blow to the head in the first match on the 1978-9 tour of Australia. He is one of the few international cricketers to make a century in his last One Day International, against New Zealand in 1978.
His long career with Middlesex lasted from 1964 to 1987, when he was in his mid forties. He scored 26,441 runs in first-class cricket of 559 matches, making 46 hundreds, with a best of 200. He also played for Auckland in New Zealand.
Post-retirement
On his retirement as a player, in 1991 he became MCC head coach, in succession to Don Wilson.[1] He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours.[2]
