Hutton had little energy left for long innings, but his 80 at Adelaide was the cornerstone of the vital victory.

The Sir Leonard Hutton Gates have become a source of unwanted controversy for the worthies of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, though the incongruity of the great man amid sari-clad groupies obscures an omission from the design little less vexing.
And, as Hutton put it in his autobiography, no team in his era projected such an aura as England's Ashes rival: "They have the utmost ability for producing that little extra, or instilling into the opposition an inferiority complex that can have and has had a crushing effect.
We should remember that the main reason Hutton held Australians in such high regard is that, for 19 of his 21 years as a first-class cricketer, they held the Ashes.

Perhaps it’s something in the Yorkshire water, but when England sealed their second consecutive win in this series by the comfortable margin of seven wickets, captain Michael Vaughan became the first England skipper to win two matches in a series in the Caribbean since his fellow Yorkshire opener Len Hutton back in 1953/54.
Hutton, of course, was also the skipper who retrieved the Ashes for England after a gap of two decades.
