Fred Trueman OBE, Yorkshire and England
Lots 306 to 344
Frederick Sewards Trueman was born at Stainton, Yorkshire, on the 6th February 1931. His uncompromsing and aggressive fast bowling made him the most feared by batsmen in England in the 1950s and early 1960s. 'Fiery Fred's' most potent weapon was to move the ball away from batsmen at speed which at times was unplayable. He burst onto the Test Match arena in 1952 against India capturing 29 wickets in his first series. He became the first bowler to take 300 Test wickets and ended his international career with a final tally of 307. This could and should have been more, but he had been frequently omitted from the side for non-cricketing reasons.
He took 100 wickets in a season on twelve occasions with 175, at an average of 13.98, being a career best in 1960. His best bowling analysis was 8 for 28 for Yorkshire v. Kent at Dover in 1954, all the wickets being taken before lunch on the first day. In all he took 2304 wickets in First Class cricket at an average of 18.29. He was also a useful hard-hitting lower order batsman and scored three first class centuries, and a superb fieldsman especially at short-leg. he had been voted Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1953.
Fred Trueman finished his career playing limited overs cricket for Derbyshire, before becoming a regular commentator on cricket and a notable television personality.
