Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
If we look back at his career, Loxton made his Test debut against India in 1947-48 at the MCG. Loxton then, made a few useful contributions during the tour of England. However, it was against South Africa in 1949-50 that he shone brightly and notched up a century in the Test played in Johannesburg.
Loxton didn't have a good time during the 1951 Ashes and that series turned out to be the last time he played for his country. Loxton though, played First-Class cricket until 1957-58. He also served as a selector of the Australian team for close to a decade in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With the square-jawed look of a prizefighter, Sam Loxton was a gutsy batsman who liked nothing more than having fast bowlers try the blast him out with short-pitched bowling - "If they do, I'll hit `em over the fence" - as well as being a fast-medium bowler capable of moving the ball in the air. He made his debut against India in 1947-48 and as part of the 1948 Invincibles scored 973 runs at 57.23 on tour, appearing in three Tests. He made his only Test hundred against South Africa at Johannesburg in 1949-50, playing in all five Tests, but lost his place after a poor start to the 1950-51 Ashes series. He was a Liberal-Country member of parliament, and was also a Test selector between 1972 and 1981.
