bill bradley -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

walter morris ` bill ' bradley -lrb- born 2 january 1875 , sydenham , london , died 19 june 1944 , wandsworth , london -rrb- was an english cricketer who played in 2 tests in 1899 .
a well built , attacking right arm fast bowler , `` bill '' bradley played county cricket for kent as an amateur between 1895 to 1903 .
bowling off a long run with a high action , he pitched the ball up and bowled long spells , attributes which earned him two test caps in 1899 .
he excelled in his first , taking 5 for 67 against joe darling 's australians at old trafford but met with less success in his second , at the oval .
the most successful amateur bowler of that season , taking 156 wickets at 19.1 including two hat tricks , he took 624 wickets in 9 seasons at 22.64 .
an old fashioned tail ender , he scored only 906 first-class runs at just 6.09 with 67 coming in one innings against yorkshire at canterbury in 1897 , an unbeaten innings amassed in just 45 minutes .
he is one of only 14 cricketers to have taken a wicket with his first ball in international competition .
