Bill Greswell
William Territt Greswell (15 October 1889 – 12 February 1971) played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1908 to 1930. But his career as a tea-planter with the family company in Sri Lanka meant that he appeared in only 115 first-class matches for the county in that period, and was a regular player in only five seasons, dotted over almost 20 years.
==Cricket style==
Born at Cuddalore, Madras, India, Bill Greswell was a bowler of medium-paced right-arm in-swingers, and a right-handed batsman who batted mostly in the lower order. He was mainly a bowler, and was regarded throughout his career as an unusual player for the late movement that he achieved off the pitch. "Cricket's cognoscenti talked and wrote about him in the context of innovative in-swing," says one account. "There were mutterings about his so-called quickish off-breaks. We even read of his apparent ability to bowl the googly in the early days."
The allusion to "googly" was, according to Greswell himself, quite wrong. "I never spun a ball in my life," he wrote in 1965.〔Quoted in 〕 "I turned the hand very slightly from right to left for the purpose of imparting the absolute minimum rotation, so that the air drift from left was deflected with maximum effect off the smooth cover of the ball onto the ridge of the seam which acted as a sail of a ship." The effect was to give his bowling a pronounced swerve into a right-handed batsman, as well as movement off the pitch. This was noticed early in Greswell's career by the Test player, Len Braund, who advised a "leg-trap" field in which he himself fielded at short leg or leg slip. Later in Greswell's Somerset career, George Hunt took this position and made many catches off Greswell's bowling.
