Hint - is the following anecdote.
"This was the ball about which the Beard Story originated. I can see W. G. now. He threw his head back, which caused his beard to stick out. Down the pitch went W. G., stroking his beard, to Harry Trott and said: "Here, what is all this?" And Trott said: "Steady, ........" To which ........ made that famous remark: "Sorry, Doctor, she slipped." I do not think the ball actually touched W. G.’s beard. That story was told after-wards, and I believe I was responsible. When I was out and returned to the Pavilion, I said: "Did you see that one go through W. G.’s beard?" The ball was bouncing, and only Ranji appeared to like it."

The first Chucker in the history of Test cricket !!
Going by the recent study by the ICC biomechanical experts, he certainly was one of many hundred fast bowlers who were obviously chucking but difficult to pick with the naked eye!!
