Watch for batsman's weak strokes & if you see him nibbling at the off ball try & get him caught at the wicket or in the slips by bowling 3 balls straight at the stumps & then one a bit wide of the off stump. Try and develop a slower ball -- variation of pace & this often gets a batsman in two minds;" a 1p a.l.s., dated Franklins, Shamley Green, Near Guildford, Surrey, 14th October 1958, from Arthur Gilligan to McConnell, enclosing a signed passport photograph and stating: "I wonder how many lads of your age realise that you had in New Zealand ... one of the greatest captains any country could possess -- I refer to Tom Lowry."
