He scored 75 at the [[Adelaide Oval]] and 76 at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} For his performances in 1924, he was chosen as a [[Wisden Cricketer of the Year]] in 1925.<ref name="W154714">{{cite web |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154714.html |title=Cricketer of the Year 1925: WW Whysall |work=Wisden Cricketers' Almanack |year=1925 |access-date=17 November 2022}}</ref>
