On 9 July 1948 at Old Trafford, the Australian opener Sid Barnes — fielding in his usual position barely five yards from the bat at short leg — was struck a fearful blow in the ribs by a full-blooded pull from Dick Pollard off Ian Johnson. Frank Chester, the umpire, said the ball hit him 'like a bullet'. Barnes 'dropped like a fallen tree' (Fingleton) and had to be carried from the field by four policemen. Ten days in Manchester Royal Infirmary followed; the injury effectively ended his tour as a major contributor.
