@@rajendrasingh-nj3bb I too agree with you. this action is great. very simple and clean. but the best action ever was that of Harold Larwood. Holding's run up was smooth which is why he was called Rolls Royce but his action was not as smooth. Harold Larwood and Fred Truman had the best action.
Lovely review of a true great. Old film so not the best quality but interesting to note how much he used the crease as well as the swing that everybody talks about.
I remember Fred well. A brilliant bowler in his time especially when paired with Statham. Bowling has changed now. I am not sure how he would rate in today’s cricket!
That is what my Dad always used to say, and he wached him live on several occasions. (he also said that Larwood was England's greatest ever pre-war bowler)
Nar, that swedish bowler bowled round arm stuff.Trueman was basically self taught(mainly his dad) and the Yorkshire coaches put on the finishing touches.
@@Wally-H They have tried to work out his speed from the films, the frames and the amount they 'clicked' per second. He averaged just under 100mph but sometimes could throw down a real 'quickie'. THe fastest ever England bowler was Larwood, and he was also the first bowler anyone ever put a speed-gun or a special high-speed slo-mo camera on to try and work out his speed and also the purity of his action - he clocked in at an astonishing 108 mph but it does not count as it was in the nets arranged for the special camera and not in a match.
Greatest action. He never suffered injury and could bowl all day and his run up was so short showing it was all in the action. Superb
Watching Trueman bowl Benaud....is sublime..otherworldly...💫
The finest bowling action of all time!
Along with Harold larwood & Michael holding

I rate miller's action little more pleasing on the eye than lindwal's.

Nice to see...appeal...decision...bat under arm....off...less than 5 secs.

He was as fast as any ov em.. The modern bowlers r middle class Fred was working class... They hated him wen he bowled em
Wonderful cricketer, also made a great cameo on Dads Army.
A champion
A true gentleman😊
England's greatest fast bowler.

First on my list of England's finest ever World X1
Smashing ,thanks for sharing.What a lovely action. As you said, he copied the action of Ray Linwall, another great.

He had a better action than Lindwall
Lovely 💕...thanks for this
Not belittling the current crop of bowlers, but wouldn't it be great if he was around now...
Fred was very fast.. No modern TOMMO types are worrying him
What was his top speed?
Nobody measured that stuff in his day, they didn’t have the technology. It would be interesting to know if you could work it out from the old films
@@Wally-H but was he express fast bowler
Yes he was, very quick, not just medium-fast.@@adityakotgire5522

Please let the Americans check this out!

Why do you never see bowlers run up foot prints all the way to the crease,these days?
Uncovered pitches. Run ups not covered either
Monster No Balls at 2mins and 2mins 12 getting the west Indians out.
back foot law was in force at the time; they were not no balls
Different no ball laws in those days
Fiery Fred did not like batsmen one iota. And perhaps he hated Australian batsmen most of all.
