A short clip of WG Grace batting

A little treat in The Spin email. A newsreel “documentary tracing the history of British cricket”, including the only footage of WG Grace batting.

Other highlights are clips of Bill Woodfull getting hit by a Harold Larwood delivery and Donald Bradman ducking and getting out to the mighty fast bowler.

And it shows Len Hutton scoring a massive 364 against Australia.

The Lord’s Taverners present ‘Cricket Highlights’ Commentary written by Michael Melford and spoken by E.W. Swanton.

Watch the whole show here.
