 John Hampshire was a dashing Yorkshire batsman who is the only England player to make a century on debut at Lord's, 107 against the West Indies in 1969, but never made another and was dropped after a short Test career.England's lower middle order added real strength with the wicket-keeper Alan Knott worth his place for his perky, unorthodox batting alone.Skipper Ray Illingworth made 476 runs (52.89) against the Rest of the World in 1970 and did well again in Australia.
