Brian Booth - 169 at Brisbane in December 1963 and 102* at the SCG in February 1964.

It should also be pointed out that the Don scored centuries against the Saffies in all 4 Tests in which he batted in the 1931-2 series (226 at the 'Gabba, 112 at the SCG, 167 at the MCG and 299* at Adelaide). In the final Test at the MCG he twisted his ankle when his studs caught in the coir matting of the dressing room and was unable to bat in Australia's only innings. He withdrew from the 1935-6 tour of South Africa due to illness.
