He was, however, a better batsman than he was thought to be as he had scored very high runs in the first class cricket and performed, however, he was asked to.
He also bowled well when needed. He was brought when the captain needed certain wickets that were not able to bowl out by the main bowler. This breaks the consistency the batsman and he often throws his wicket to the new bowler. This technique has been used by captains from the early days of cricket. He has a very good batting avatar of 32 in Test tat was better than many player in his team at that time but still he wasn't given enough opportunities as all the places were occupied by senior players and to change the batting order to destabilises the team which the coach, as well as the captain, didn't want.
