Redpath played 66 Tests and five ODIs from 1964 to 1976. He came close to a century on Test debut against South Africa at the MCG when he was bowled by Joe Partridge for 97. In February 1969, against West Indies at the SCG, he made his maiden century with 132 in the second innings against Wes Hall, Charlie Griffith, Garry Sobers and Lance Gibbs. Despite still being good enough, Redpath retired to work full-time for his antique business in Geelong.
