More on 1000 runs on a winter tour

#ashes #cricket After extensive research, I think I have uncovered the answer to my own 1000-runs-on-an-overseas-tour question.

The last man was the aforementioned Dennis Amiss, who scored 1120 runs on the MCC tour of the West Indies in 1973-74.

Regarding Ashes tours, the feat was last achieved by two batsman on the 1970-71 tour – Geoff Boycott (1535 runs) and J.H.Edrich (1097 runs).

Alastair Cook could soon be joining that esteemed company – 657 runs and counting.
