His 92.2 eight-ball overs bowled in that Test, which equated to a mammoth 738 balls, still stands as the most number of balls bowled by a fast bowler in a Test match. Gordon was in the middle of bowling his 93rd over when the teams finally decided to call it a day as the England team had to dash to catch the mail boat home. The famous match spanned 10 days and still ended in a draw. Gordon represented South Africa in five Test matches in the 1938-39 season, and had been the last remaining cricketer who played in the "Timeless" Test against England in Durban in March 1939. His passion was for cricket and then golf and he always felt so privileged and appreciative of the wonderful people he had met."
