John Phillips was an opening batsman and left-arm wrist-spinner. His best batting performance was 100 and 36 for Border against Orange Free State in 1933–34.[1] In the 1934–35 season he took 15 wickets in two matches in East London in just over a week: 7 for 51 and 2 for 87 in a victory over Orange Free State,[2] then 5 for 123 and 1 for 44 in a close loss to Natal.[3] These performances led the cricket writer Louis Duffus to name him as a player "who is sure to be heard of in subsequent seasons".[4] However, Phillips played only two more first-class matches.
