It was a toss up between that and Trumble's beautifully flighted off break to beat poor *modded* Lilley's defense having him stumped for a hatrick.

Points go to Trumble for having some of the finest facial hair to ever grace the game.

Spofforth, truly over rated. To get into the nitty gritty of great bowling in the UK you'd be looking at Nutty Martin producing a devilish out swinger to have Harry Trott caught behind.

Fred outbowled Lohmann that day. How England could do with a left armer like him right now.

Two day Tests aren't good for the game though.

I'm rather fond of this one;

Not in UK though Stands!

Great clips bfp.

Was the slower ball to Chis Read from Chris Cairns or Courtney Walsh? That was a hell of a ball.
