No man is better qualified than Geary to instruct the rising genera- tion of cricketers. For a good many years he was ono of our best medium-pace bowlers, and as long ogo as 1926 I saw him save the game for England at Leeds, where he and George Macaulay added 100 for the ninth wicket.

George has played in nine Tests against Australia and five against South Africa. His globe-trotting has taken him to Australia, South Africa, India and the West Indies and his greatest bowling perform- ance 'was achieved against Glamor- gan in 1029 at Pontypridd: 10 wickets for 18 runs. Alluding to the Aus tralian captain in an interview with B. J. Evans in the Star, he once said:
