Here is some reasonable footage of Ken Farnes bowling several deliveries. Has a surprisingly fluid action for a tall bloke. I'm guessing 6'5'' or 6'6''.

Gubby Allen, Bill Voce and Walter Hammond are also featured.

I did read somewhere that Don rated Farnes as one of the fastest bowler he ever faces...

Great team there, especially the attack. Garner and Lindwall to share the new ball I imagine?
