What type of bowler was Sydney Barnes?
Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:36:05 +0100
Rats! I've just somehow managed to deleted a couple of paragraphs of

couple of descriptions of Sydney Barnes' bowling.
In "Barclays World of Cricket" HS Altham writes: "A ...

After the initial trials of the fuchsia coloured balls (colour
description from the fabulous headline "The Fuchsia of Cricket ...?") I
haven't seen any mention for quite a while. Has anyone seen a report on
how the experiment went, or on future use?

The best beyond the first-class realm
Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:31:36 +0200

bowled out, but knowing that England wouldn't have enough time to

"McKenzie has now faced 428 balls for his 131. On the radio version
of TMS, Boycott is drooling like a happy toddler."
