Notes

Note : There are 5 greatest and classic specialist batting maestros and five high profile specialist genuine stingy bowlers so there is no need of any allrounder like G Soberse, Imran Khan or J Kallis. Yeah the readers or watchers would get stunned to see the name of wicketkeeper as Don Tillon. Yes I have selected him because D Tillon was the member of playing eleven of D Bradman -‘The Invincible’ and according to Don Bradman D Tillon was a great wicketkeeper . And if Sir D Bradman reveals his opinion about anybody then he is automatically stamped as the undisputed great and champ . So I have preferred D Tillon as my choice over many great gloves men like A Knot ,R Marsh,A Gilchrist, Mark Boucher for keeping the wickets. *Bowlers : Yeah there are five most impressive bowlers in which the Three are so economical and the thriftiest bowlers in conceding the runs in the history of game.Yeah H Larwood and Jeff Thompson whose bowling average is 28 plus ( 28.35 ,28.01 repectively)and according to the Wisdon experts’ panel and criteria yeah not inducted in the Elite Rank List of the greatest bowlers of the Test History. Yes to be ranked in this worthy list the bowler required bowling average under 25 so many great bowlers are preyed under it and not honoured in this list. But we know sometimes the statistics do not justify with the class and quality. Yes behind the stats many hidden ,undisclosed,undisucussed, unattented reasons matters and those reasons aren’t counted when the merit is summed up on the data base but yes the critics and the experts do attend the class neglecting the stats.So bowler’s bowling average reading above 25 the general or common fans take them expensive and ordinary . And thus these two stalwarts aren’t included in the Best Bowlers’ Rank. But talk abour both ones ‘ fiery dreaded pace was like torpedo or missile and couldn’t bat against them without perplexed or panicking. And if talk about the class then the legends , witnesses and evidences express the real mirror of these two stalwarts that how great these two speedsters were and what respect they had in the rival camp.Yes both are the fastest ever speedsters of the Test history with F Tyson and present era’s S Akhtar, Shane Taite,B Lee,M Starc are miles behind in speed compared to them in the real sense.Yeah on the modern speedometer S Akhtar clocked 161.3 and registered as the fastest but the speedometer of 1971 wasn’t high-tech on which Jeff Thompson clocked 159.9 kmh yeah camera based and compare to the present device i mean high-tech speedometer yeah proper accurate device yeah Thompson’s speed what he clocked in 1971 yes 159 kmh plus would rest 180 kmh plus certainly and one more point that collision with the team mate fielder he got severe shoulder injury and cut short in speed otherwise he was very fast before it. But after recovery he remained fastest. And many cricketing personas have confirmed this fact with eye witness. And J Thompson’s bowling average is above 25 due to fielders folly otherwise his Wicket SR would be 30 and average would be under 15.Yeah that era was the bowling dominant era due to uncovered pitches,punny bats,weaker protective equipments or gears and no helmet and so doing batting was tougher than today but some excellent batters occured out handsome batting average to show the technique. Yeah present era is said as the batting prone and dominant era but we have bowlers like Pett Cumminse ,K Rabada and J Bumrah who have handsome bowling average despite the batting dominant era though not under 15 like G Lohman . And I have selected five genuine bowlers in which F Spofforth,H Larwood, F Tyson and J Thompson are terrific fastest and Sydney Barnes fast medium but with great accurate and stingy line and length with variety are fatal . J Thompson has been given place despite bit expensive bowling average but it was due to fielders faults, not his bowling . Thompson was awesome and fearmost speedster. Before Thompson it was difficult to save your wicket such as body as well. So it is liable to select him as the emperor of speed. If we follow the legends about Frank Tyson then his speed has letting 180 plus kmh that the ball went over boundary in just one bounce.And it was witnessed by the experts and news was flashed about it. And the legends are available in the cricket books. Such as F Tyson, F Spofforth was a dangerous bowler . Fredie Spofforth was physically so strong and tall. He had ability to generate maximum speed whenever wanted.Yeah like J Garner could bounce the ball well with the vicious speed and sharpness. According to WG Grace the most respected and buzzed character of Cricketeria said that Fridie’s deliveries are invisible so can understand his tremendous speed.H Larwood is undoubtedly difficult to face due to his searing pace . *2nd Superb World 11* (Kohinoor )
