But his enduring fame rests on his reputation as one of the last lob bowlers, bowling slow right-arm underarm lobs.

His action was described as a little like setting a wood in crown green bowling.In fact, he started as an overarm right-handed fast bowler, but switched to lobs with great success when he took up regular county cricket in the late 1890s.
