Toshack was rested for the first tour match after the First Test against Northamptonshire, which Australia won by an innings.[1][2] He returned against Yorkshire at Bramall Lane, Sheffield, making four as Australia batted first and scored 249.[10] He then recorded the best innings analysis of his first-class career, taking 7/81 from 40 consecutive overs,[38][39] bemusing the Yorkshire spectators with his Australian accent and distinctive "Ow Wizz Ee" appealing.[5][6] He removed both openers, including Hutton, and then bowled Yorkshire and England captain Norman Yardley to leave the hosts at 3/107.
