The keen perception he brings to his cricket is revealed by his analysis of Hutton, May, Worrall, Bradman and many other great players, and by the tactics he evolved for each individually. In a brilliant study of the art of fast bowling, in valuable to every player from school to Test rank, Ray Lindwall goes thoroughly into the methods that have brought him such outstanding triumphs, and passes on the many lessons he has learnt." -- dustwrapper blurb Cricket Good
