English cricket team in Australia in 1954–55‎: Hutton and Cowdrey

Given that you've mentioned that Hutton bet on Wilson scoring more runs than Cowdrey, it might be worth redressing the balance by mentioning that Hutton seems to have treated Cowdrey very well - indeed with much more consideration than senior players such as Bedser. I know that Cowdrey said in his autobiography that, as a young player on his first tour, he was very grateful at the way Hutton took him under his wing, especially when his father died during the course of the tour (or it might have been during the sea voyage out). I'd dig out a reference, but I have a heavy feverish cold today and don't feel like doing anything too taxing. JH (talk page) 18:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't recall reading anything that Hutton treated Cowdrey better than the other young players. Keith Miller wrote that Hutton compained that the young players didn't ask him for advice and that they disliked his grumpy moods. Graveney wrote Hutton would just look straight through you as if you weren't there and by all accounts he was pretty wound up during the tour. Cowdrey's father died on the voyage out and it is mentioned in MCC tour of Australia in 1954–55 if you want to add something there. It also has Douglas Jardine giving Cowdrey some farewell advice and Hutton telling the young players that they had little chance of playing in the Tests.

I definitely remember seeing it in Cowdrey's autobiography, and also I think somewhere else. I'm aware that isn't much help. JH (talk page) 19:08, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I haven't read that and I am loathe to put it in without a direct ref as it was against Hutton's character as usually described. I'll look up Tyson when I get home tomorrow, as he mentions MCC receiving the news in Eye of the Typhoon.Philipjelley (talk) 19:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I've managed to find something in Hutton's Wisden obituary. The tributes to him at the end of the article included: Colin Cowdrey: "I was just so lucky to play my earlier matches in the England side under his captaincy. He took all the trouble in the world to help me on my way." JH (talk page) 19:27, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I've also found an article in The Hindu, the most prestigious Indian newspaper, which includes: Michael Colin Cowdrey was the baby of the English team when in the Melbourne Test in 1954-1955, the third of his Test career, he made a brave, match-winning century. The 22-year-old had received news of his father's death at the start of the tour, but soldiered on, thanks to the advice and encouragement from his young teammate Peter May and father figure and captain Len Hutton. It was uncharacteristic of Hutton, who because he was so shy found social interaction difficult. But he seems to have been moved by Cowdrey's plight. JH (talk page) 19:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
