"I don't think I ever worked harder at any match during my career to get runs as I did then, nor did I ever have to face in one game such consistently fast bowlers as the Australian pair, Gregory and McDonald"

Frank Woolley's quote speaks with the problem of the match he was betting the Australian pair of Gregory and McDonald. He mentions that he needed to work harder than ever before to get runs, and that he had actually never faced such regularly quick bowlers in one game. This suggests that the match was incredibly difficult, and that Woolley had to put in a good deal of effort to get the runs he needed. It also indicates that the Australian bowlers were exceptionally skilled which they presented a formidable difficulty. Woolley's quote is a testimony to the problem of the match, and to the ability of the Australian bowlers. It is a reminder of the effort and dedication that is needed to prosper in cricket, and of the value of dealing with tough challengers in order to improve one's own game.
