2.O In Australia, he was overbowled and exhausted

and found that his natural in-swingers were liked by Australian batsmen . To counter this he gripped the ball across the seam like a spinner and the result was an in-swinging leg-break which would be known as X's "Special Ball". Don Bradman wrote "the ball with which X bowled me in the Adelaide Test Match was, I think, the finest ever to take my wicket. It must have come three-quarters of the way straight on my off-stump, then suddenly dipped in to pitch on the leg stump, only to turn off the pitch and hit the middle and off stumps."

AT LORD’S by Francis thompsonIt is little I repair to the matches of the Southron folk,

Though my own red roses there may blow;It is little I repair to the matches of the Southron folk,

Though the red roses crest the caps, I know.For the field is full of shades as I near a shadowy coast,

And a ghostly batsman plays to the bowling of a ghost,And I look through my tears on a soundless-clapping host

As the run stealers flicker to and fro,To and fro:O my Hornby and my Barlow long ago !

It's Glo'ster coming North, the irresistible,The Shire of the Graces, long ago!

It's Gloucestershire up North, the irresistible,And new-risen Lancashire the foe!

A Shire so young that has scarce impressed its traces,Ah, how shall it stand before all-resistless Graces ?

O, little red rose, their bats are as maces To beat thee down, this summer long ago !
