RIP Mr Tyson. Player from a different era. No helmets or body armour against the fastest bowler of his time if not ever.

What a wonderful video clip. Lived at home with his mother, used wooden clubs to strengthen his bowling arm, and worn steel toe cap boots. Great stuff. RIP Sir.

The likes of Keith Miller and Richie Benaud said he was the quickest they had ever faced. Didn't know we had lost him. Must have been a good age?
RIP.

Short run up for so much pace and the batsmen had no Helmets in those days.
I once forgot my box made me concentrate very hard :eek:
