South Africa, England, Australia

1909-12-01

After their breakthrough 1907 tour of England, South Africa's googly quartet — Reggie Schwarz, Bert Vogler, Aubrey Faulkner and Gordon White — anchored the side through the 1909-10 home Tests against England (won 3-2 by South Africa) and the 1910-11 tour of Australia. Vogler took 36 wickets in the 1909-10 home series; Faulkner emerged as the world's best all-rounder by 1910.

South Africa's Googly Quartet — Schwarz, Vogler, Faulkner, White, England 1907

South Africa, England

1907-07-01

South Africa's first major tour of England, in 1907, featured four wrist-spin bowlers — Reggie Schwarz, Bert Vogler, Aubrey Faulkner and Gordon White — all bowling the googly that Schwarz had learned from Bernard Bosanquet. Faulkner's 6 for 17 in 11 overs at Headingley reduced England to 76, and the tour established the googly as a global Test weapon.
