 He played golf and rugby as well as cricket for Cambridge University and moved to the "gin-and-tonic" Sussex County Cricket Club.To see "Lord Ted" thrashing the fast bowling was one of the most thrilling sights in cricket and he could make any run chase look possible.His great fault was that he seldom gave a bowling attack due respect and got himself out with rash strokes, but he could make a big innings, like his 180 at Edgbaston in 1961 when England needed 321 runs to avoid an innings defeat.
