COLIN COWDREY

Summary about Colin Cowdrey
Full name: Michael Colin Cowdrey
Born: December 24, 1932, Bangalore, India
Died: December 4, 2000, Angmering Park, Littlehampton, Sussex (aged 67 years 346 days)

Batting style: Right-hand bat
Bowling style: Legbreak

Match Summary
West Indies 301 and 229
England 297 and 228 for 9

What about the broken arm
Colin Cowdrey returned to the crease with his arm in plaster and stood at the non-striker's end while Dave Allen blocked the last two balls for a draw. England won the Third Test, but lost the series 3-1 and Cowdrey was unable to play for the rest of the season. He also missed the next series with India because of broken arm.
