The googly men - South Africa's role in the development of the wrong'un

What is not widely known today is the role that South Africa played in the original development of the art of googly bowling and of its introduction into test cricket, says Brian as he takes us through the history of the wrong'un. The googly men- R.O. Schwartz, A.E.E. Volgar, G.A.Faulkner and G.C. White. How Reggie Schwarz learnt the art from Bosanquet and passed it on his springbok mates makes for an interesting tale.
