Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Redpath had an ordinary start to his First-Class career in 1961-62. It was a slice of luck that allowed him to continue playing for Victoria. In the game against a strong New South Wales side, he tried to play through the covers, got an edge that went between the keeper and the first slip fielder, Bob Simpson. Redpath must have felt lucky indeed as it wasn't often that Simpson didn't got for a catch in the slip cordon during his career.
Redpath made his Test debut against South Africa in 1963-64. He narrowly missed out on scoring a ton on his debut as he was out for 97 at the MCG. Curiously, he had to wait for six years to notch up his first Test century. But ended his career with eight hundreds to his name.
There is a feeling that it was the Test in Adelaide in 1969 when the Windies pacer, Charlie Griffith, ran him out for backing up too far that motivated Redpath to touch greater heights. Even after playing his last Test for his country in 1976, Redpath showed great resolve in a game in Sydney in the Packer series in 1978-79. When up against a hostile Windies pace attack, he batted for close to 150 minutes to score nine runs and take the Aussies to a 10-wicket win!

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
An old boy of Geelong College, like Lindsay Hassett, Jack Iverson and Paul Sheahan, Ian Redpath began his career as a sweet striker of the ball, but became an opener so obdurate that he did not strike a six until his 66th Test (whereupon he promptly cracked another one). A lanky, long-necked figure without a spare ounce of flesh, he was the last Australian to play as an amateur: in 1963-64 he declined his fee so as not to jeopardise his amateur football career. It didn't do him any harm: he made 97. Two other unusual accomplishments lend colour to his career: no Australian has taken more runs from a first-class over, and no Australian has both carried his bat through a completed Test innings and been no-balled for throwing. Redpath was later awarded an MBE and, upon retirement, resumed a career in antique-dealing and went on to coach Victoria.
