Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Edwards started his domestic career in the 1964-65 season but it took him about eight seasons to get a national call up. While the wait was long, it also meant that he was mentally strong enough to handle the pressures of international cricket. He enjoyed a fairly successful Test career and despite not playing many ODIs, made his presence felt with three fifties, including one in the 1975 World Cup final. The numbers suggested that Edwards was on his way to greatness but the World Series took him and on returning, he never got considered for national selection. Edwards ploughed on in domestic cricket for a while before retiring after the 1979-80 season. He shifted base to England and enjoyed a few years of club cricket before calling it quits altogether.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ross Edwards was a dependable middle-order batsman and a brilliant cover fielder (although he started as a wicketkeeper) who improved with age and was 29 when he was picked for his first overseas tour , to England in 1972. In his second Test at Nottingham he opened the innings in an emergency and hammered an unbeaten 170. Australia might have thought they had found a new opener, a pair in the next Test resulted in Edwards returning to his more familiar middle-order role. After another solid home series against Pakistan, he toured West Indies as the reserve wicketkeeper, but a poor series meant he was out of the side until recalled against England in 1974-75, hitting his second hundred at Perth. He toured England in 1975, top-scoring with 58 in the World Cup final defeat by West Indies, and in the Tests series which followed he made 99 in a crisis at Lord's, but didn't play for Australia again after that series. In 1977 he joined World Series Cricket, ending his career in 1979-80. An accountant by trade, he moved to England where he continues to play club cricket.
