Lives in Cricket No 25 - Tom Richardson

Lives in Cricket: No 25 Tom Richardson A Bowler Pure and Simple Keith Booth The most popular cricketer who ever lived was undoubtedly Tom Richardson. He was also the finest fast bowler I have ever seen. I once heard W Lockwood (also a fine fast bowler) say that Richardson was the best fast bowler “ever”. And when I remarked to him “What about yourself?” he replied, “I’m not in the same parish.” Herbert Strudwick Mitcham Cricket Club Yearbook 1937
