Taking Wickets for the Other End

Hmm, have to say I find this thread a bit bizarre, grouping Harmison and Flintoff together. Hard to understand why you'd do that.

Freddie kept batsmen under pressure and rarely gave free runs away, like Statham, Garner and McGrath. GBH umm didn't

It's just a line often used for both. Obviously with a lot more BS involved in Harmison's case.

Flintoff would be about the first person in world cricket who you'd want to bowl in partnership with. Murali probably pipping him.

Hmmm. Only if there's an English crowd behind us.

If you'd have said off-spinner rather than leg I'd have guessed Loudon.

He did have a slight suggestion of a doosra in his armoury tho...?

No, far more obscure than Loudon. A chap called Pat Trimby. I saw him bowl in the nets and couldn't believe what I was watching. The amount of turn he got both ways was incredible. Never made it at Warwickshire though, played a few Minor Counties games and faded out of the game.
