Henry Donnan was another player who had a limitless supply of patience, a right handed batsman who loved watching the ball all the way onto his bat. He preferred the cut shot and drive. Playing his way into the Test team, he scored centuries against all the other Sheffield Shield sides. He was unfortunately a poor fielder something that went against him in selection. He toured England in 1896 and made just over 1,000 runs in the first class matches but performed poorly in the Test matches.
