Bowlers Quote by David Mutton
““Though he is decried as lucky, it’s just possible that he realised that he could not only get away with playing the way he did, but could prosper by it. It may just be that all of those shots which just evaded a fielder’s outstretched hands were intentional and that he didn’t move his feet much because he didn’t need to. It’s just possible that nobody else played this way because they couldn’t. If he was just lucky and had poor technique, wouldn’t the world’s greatest bowlers have figured him? Instead, he got better and better and faster and faster; his first four Test hundreds were made at a strike-rate of 62 and averaged 122, the four ending with this 293 were made at a crazy strike-rate of 104 and at an average of 315!””
