Top 10 Australian middle-order batsmen of all time

#9 Doug Walters

He played for Australia in 74 Test matches from 1965 through to 1981 and was famous for his swashbuckling batting at number 6, that often took the game away from the opposition.

Doug Walters made the Australian number 6 position his own and although he was not the most technically correct batsman, he could play the hook perfectly and had it in him to play the perfect straight drive.

On the other hand, he loved to come down the wicket against the spinners and never allowed them to settle. In 74 Test matches, Walters scored 5357 runs at an impressive average of 48.26. He also scored 15 hundreds and also brought up 33 half-centuries during the course of his career.
