Three times he would score 100 runs in a session including scoring a century before lunch against the World XI team at the MCG in the 1971/72 summer.
Doug’s Test career finished after 5,357 Test runs with an average of 48.26 and a highest score of 250 against New Zealand. In 1975 Doug was awarded an MBE for his services to cricket. Never far from the game, Doug is frequently involved in social and charity matches and hosts coaching clinics for young children.
He pens the occasional article and sometimes provides match commentary.Doug is known for his wit and love of practical jokes. A humble man, Doug has an incredible life story to tell that will engage cricketers and non-cricketers alike.
