International Debutant
Bradman once likened the experience of facing Bill O'Reilly to facing "a swarm of bees," but I don't know that he had in mind the effect attributed to Mailey and Turner. The latter, according to CB Fry, "made the ball spin like a humming-top; you could hear the ball buzz in the air as it travelled from his hand." I remember Tony Stubbs telling similar stories about a first-class Indian bowler whose name escapes me, and I'm pretty sure I've heard it said of others as well. Has anyone ever experienced this? Better still, has anyone any corroborating footage? And does anyone know who that Indian might be?
