The first came on his Test debut in the first Test of the 1911/12 tour when he had the captaincy thrust upon him by P.F. Warner's illness. In the 4th Test he took 5 for 46, regaining the Ashes with his last wicket. In 23 Tests Douglas scored 962 runs at an average of 29.15, and took 45 wickets at an average of 33.02. Douglas died on 19-12-1930 when he tragically drowned whilst attempting to rescue his father in a shipping accident in Denmark."
