bill lockwood -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

william henry `` bill '' lockwood -lrb- 25 march 1868 -- 26 april 1932 -rrb- was an english test cricketer , best known as a fast bowler and the unpredictable , occasionally devastating counterpart to the amazingly hard-working tom richardson for surrey in the early county championship .
a capable enough batsman against weaker bowling sides who scored over 10,000 runs in first-class cricket , stronger bowling tended to show flaws in his technique .
in contrast to richardson 's consistency and strenuous work , lockwood was never capable of long bowling spells .
he bowled off a much shorter run than richardson and tended to come down very heavily in his delivery stride .
lockwood could break back , though rarely as sharply as richardson , but what really set lockwood apart was his unpredictability , with extremely subtle variations of pace and pitch characterising his bowling .
frequently lockwood would deliver a slow ball without change of action and the batsman would claim they never expected it .
