Tom Graveney Recalled to England at 39 — 96 Against West Indies, Lord's, 1966

Tom Graveney, recalled to the England side at 39 after a four-year absence — he had been dropped in 1962 for a county match in which his county had put him in without permission — scored 96 in England's only victory of the 1966 series at Lord's. His fluent strokeplay was in stark contrast to the struggle of younger colleagues, and his recall confirmed that county cricket's older generation still had things to teach the Test side.
