Genuine pace and movement. Line and length. It's all there. Fred Trueman is the yardstick for modern bowlers. Perfect action, and incredible stamina. And never injured. And look at his opponents. Frankie Worrell, Garry Sobers, Conrad Hunt. That's the A-Team right there. Imagine Fred playing teams like Zimbabwe and Afghanistan then? He'd have been the first to 500 easily. Top ten ever. Without a doubt.

I have had the enormous privilege of facing Fred Trueman in a match. He played for the MCC against my public school and I was very fortunate to be selected for the 1st XI, which was unusual as I normally captained the 2nd XI. By then, he was past his fastest but he still was a fearsome bowler who swung and seamed it viciously. I lasted about a dozen balls and I hardly hit any. When they batted, he hit me twice over the pavilion, though I got 3 wickets in the end. He was also very pleasant and unassuming after the game and signed as many autographs and posed for as many pictures as we wanted. I still have some. But I threw away the one of my off stump cartwheeling backwards, though. One of the greatest cricketers of all time.

I love his style - just before the delivery, as he passes the bowler's wicket, he's almost perfectly sideways on to the batsman, his ball hand is back at about 4 o'clock and his left had is at about 10 o'clock and then there's a windmill of arms and the ball comes shooting out. Jeff Thompson has a similar style, but he almost seems to be free from gravity for a moment of time as he glides past the umpire... Met Fred once, long after he'd retired. Good grief, that man could swear.

Good description Benj. He sure did swear and was funny in an abrupt sort of style. Freddie was on a "sports" panel of different athletes at a dinner once and he told a story about losing some fingers (I think it was fingers) and every second word was a curse or swearing. Seemed to be appropriately done in that gravelly Yorkshire (?) blather too.

I remember we said to him that we were too young to buy the beer, so he signalled the guy selling the beer at the kiosk to sell us his beer. At the end of each over we gave him a beer and he kept on bowling faster and cleaned up the Australian team that day.. He also gave us the change for the beers, it really made our day.. What a great and funny and nice guy off the field.

Don't forget that this is film was taken in 63 and 64 when Fred was 32 and 33 and past his prime. There's nothing from the early/mid 50's. By this time he had cut his run-up from 19 paces to 12 which cost him some speed but gave him even more control. Even so when the first technology was created for measuring the speed of bowlers in 1963, when Fred was 32, he still clocked 92/93 mph and the only other bowler to go over 90 mph was Wes Hall. Tyson, Lindwall, Miller and Adcock had all retired by then. Also with all of his experience that he had gained by then he would bowl to the conditions which didn't always mean bowling flat out.

I remember listening to Freddie Truman commentate on tv in Australia in the very early days of post World Series Cricket. His co commentator was a very new to the job, Tony Greig. The conversation turned inevitably to how things were done “in my day” as all ex player commentators inevitably do at some point. Truman said something about his own career and Greig had a joking jibe to the effect not remembering any of it because he was too young, implying that Truman’s deeds were ancient history. Quick as a flash, Truman, in his Yorkshire accent dryly replied: “Just look in the record books, son. It’s all in there”. You could hear all the other off air commentators pissing themselves (as I bet so was Greig) at the great man putting the youngster firmly back in his place.

After taking his 298th and 299th test wickets in successive balls, Fred was on a hat-trick for his 300th .... but then the lunch-break intervened, and some of the momentum was lost.

Fred was master bowler the other bowler was Brian Statham who was a steady bowler who the opposition found difficulty scoring off so they had score off Fred the other thing was he could throw with both hands he fielded on the boundary he once got the ball in his left hand the batsman thought he could get two runs instead got run out when Fred threw it to the wicket keeper before he got halfway down the wicket

Very slingy strong shoulder action, very much like Mitchell Johnson, but right arm obviously.

Love to see Neil Hawke the Aus batsman be the first to shake his hand. Now they'd probably abuse him... led by Paine.

The WKeeper is not standing too far back at all , probably less than half way back they stand for the quicks of today, even though most pitches these days is like batting on a road. At 5ft 10” , non muscular build people are dreaming if they think he was a quick by modern standards.

they are QUICK by the standars of that day, but then with uncovered wickets the 150k merchants of today might be getting driven and pulled a tad more.

Notice the crowd....is silent as the bowler comes in, there's no chanting, booing, singing. Couldn't see anyone with a beer either. Maybe that's the solution, ban alcohol at English grounds?

There is coverage of Holding to Boycott in ‘81 where the same comment is made. Slips look 8 to 10 yards back. Then there is Lillee to Steele, again it looks like Marsh is stood at the most ten yards back. Not sure what’s going on.

On this evidence he was about the same as Broad in Broad's quickest spells (i.e. a few years ago). Definitely not Brett Lee.
