Peter Smith

The hoax was in 1933 when the West Indies toured, not when India toured in 1932. See your IP talk page for a further reply. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 05:57, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bowling Speeds

Most sources (and the evidence of film) give AB as medium fact. remeber the keeper always stood up. Voce is difficult to classify John. He bowled at everything from quite fast to Underwood style cutters which was what he started as. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.189.13.183 (talk) 12:49, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bedser liked his keepers to stand up, but I believe that some of them were very reluctant to do so, feeling that the chance of achieving a stumping was more than outweighed by the risk of missing a catch. There's an added complication, in that some authorities seem to define fast-medium as quicker than medium-fast whereas others define it as slower! I would guess that he was about the same pace as Jimmy Anderson or maybe just a fraction slower. JH (talk page) 15:32, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is confusion about fast-medium and medium-fast especially with bowlers who use a lot of pace variation. Having seen AB on film, I don't think I would have stood up to him! I got these classifications from each player's profile in CricketArchive which is not necessarily correct. I think that by 1946, Voce will have been not much more than medium pace so happy to reclassify him too if you agree. Also, I doubt very much that Gover was still fast in 1946. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 16:41, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
