Biography on reverse reads: "T. Wall (South Australia) Wall is a comparative newcomer to representative cricket, but recent form proves him to be an acquisition to any attack. He was born on May 31st, 1904, and made his debut for Australia against England in the Fifth Test of the English tour of 1928/29. Wall took eight wickets during the match, his five in the second innings costing but 66 runs. He went to England with Woodfull's team in 1930, and secured fifty odd wickets during the tour. He played in all five Tests. Wall is above medium pace, and makes the ball swing with the arm very late. Percy Fender says that Wall can "lift" the ball as few modern bowlers can do."
