 At this stage Johnston was at the peak of his career in terms of bowling average and wickets taken per match . In his 24 Tests to the end of the series , he had taken 111 wickets at 19 @.@ 22 , with Australia winning 19 and losing two . In the Fourth Test in Melbourne , Johnston took match figures of 5 / 110 , removing Weekes in both innings , before coming to the crease in the second innings to partner Doug Ring . Australia were 9 / 222 in pursuit of 260 for victory , with the series finely poised 2 – 1 . The crowd of 30 @,@ 000 and the constabulary were resigned to an Australian defeat , with the police officers moving into position to stop the customary pitch invasion at the end of the match . However , the Richmond teammates had other ideas and put together a last wicket partnership of 38 , which sealed an Australian victory by one wicket . Ring thought that playing for a draw was impractical , so he decided to attack , while Johnston attempted to hold up his end with a series of defensive shots . The West Indian captain John Goddard placed his fielders halfway to the boundary , allowing Johnston to easily take singles , while Ring was able to clear the infield easily . The Richmond pair thought that Goddard 's captaincy was poor . Johnston eventually brought up the winning run by turning Frank Worrell for a single behind square leg , 35 minutes after he came to the crease .
