The Decline of South Africa's Googly Quartet — 1910-1914

South Africa

1914-03-01

South Africa's celebrated googly attack of Reggie Schwarz, Bert Vogler, Aubrey Faulkner and Gordon White peaked in the 1905-06 home series and on the 1907 tour of England. By 1910-14 — the period covered by the Triangular Tournament and the 1913-14 Barnes series — the foursome had broken up and South Africa had no comparable bowling resource.

South Africa's First Test Tour of England — 1907 and the Googly Attack

South Africa, England

1907-07-15

South Africa's 1907 tour of England was their fourth visit but the first to include Test matches. England won the three-Test series 1-0 (with two draws), but the South African googly quartet — Reggie Schwarz, Bert Vogler, Aubrey Faulkner and Gordon White — astonished English cricket. Across the whole tour South Africa won 21 of 31 matches.
