Jimmy Ell appeared in 28 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman, scoring 1185 runs, with a highest of 89.[1] He scored 61, top-scoring in the second innings, in Wellington's narrow victory over the touring MCC in 1935-36.[2] In a senior club match in Wellington in November 1945 he scored 291 in three and a quarter hours, setting a new individual record in Wellington cricket.[3]
The New Zealand cricket historian Don Neely described Ell as "a brilliant stylist with a hint of batting genius who never really developed into the great player he could have been". Ell admitted that his impatience often led to his dismissal.[2]
