One of the best left-arm spinners of all time, Bert Ironmonger's clever variations while delivering his left-arm medium spinning deliveries brought him a lot of success during his career.

The fourth oldest cricketer to make his test debut aged 45 years and 237 days, Ironmonger is famously known for his decimation of England in the 1931-32 season when he picked 11 wickets across both innings and at the end of the tour, he had picked 31 wickets at a stunning average of just 9.67.

The left-arm spinner enjoyed a rather prosperous national stint, picking up 74 wickets from just 14 matches at an average of 17.97 and an economy of 1.69.
