Doug Walters Australia Cricket
Walters scored a century each in his first two Tests for Australia

The first player in Test cricket history to score a century and a double century in a single Test, Doug Walters had a brilliant start to his Test career, earning a reputation as "another Bradman" in his early years.

Considered quite a character both on and off the field, Walters' became a fan-favourite with his aggressive approach and ability to produce moments of magic with the bat as well as his occasional medium pacers.

Walters made his Test debut at the Gabba against England in the 1965-66 Ashes series, scoring 155 in his first Test innings and following it up with a knock of 115 in the second Test.

Walters carried forward with his fine start and would go on to play 74 Tests for Australia, scoring 5357 runs at an average of 48.26.
