Hugh Motley 'Pud' Thurlow (born 10 January 1903, Townsville, Queensland, died 3 December 1975, Rosalie, Queensland) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test in 1932.‘Pud’ was called up for the fourth match against South Africa in Adelaide in 1931-32, which Australia won, and never played for his country again.
He opened the bowling twice and finished with 0-86 for the match, perhaps no disgrace considering Clarrie Grimmett and Bill O'Reilly shared 18 wickets on a spin-friendly deck. Thurlow batted once and was run out for a duck, but considering he was a No.11 this hardly seemed a crime worthy of lifetime banishment from the team.
Scroll up the scoresheet, however, and the mystery becomes clearer: Don Bradman was the man stranded at the far end ...
