A man with the highest number of Test innings (44) without scoring a duck.

Jim scored 1,280 international runs at an average of 34.59, including 3 centuries and 5 half centuries in 24 Test matches he played. He scored 189 (his personal best) against South Africa in Cape Town, which resulted in an innings defeat for the hosts as they were asked to follow-on.

Jim's first-class career was astonishing, as he scored more than 7,000 runs in 130 games at an average of more than 45. He scored 21 centuries and 35 half centuries in 204 innings.

Jim was a handy bowler too. He took 8 wickets with 4/37 as his best against India in Calcutta Test (Nov 1956). In his first-class career, he took 101 wickets, with his off-breaks at an average under 30.
