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 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.

On 4 January 1906 at the Old Wanderers, Johannesburg, South Africa beat England by one wicket in the first Test of a five-match series — their first Test victory at the 12th attempt. Dave Nourse's 93 not out and Gordon White's 81 carried the home side past 284 in the fourth innings; the South African googly quartet, all on debut in the same match, took 11 wickets between them.
