The great innovator

May 15 | May 13


1948
In Kanpur, India, one of cricket's most innovative coaches is born. Bob Woolmer's use of computers and willingness to embrace the unorthodox brought outstanding success: not least a treble for Warwickshire in 1994, a South African side that was close to unstoppable against anyone not wearing a baggier green, and a Pakistan side that learnt the virtues of discipline. Woolmer was a fine batsman too, good enough to play 19 Tests for England. It would have been more had he not joined World Series Cricket and then the rebel tour of South Africa in 1981-82. All three of his hundreds came against Australia, and in 1975, bowling for MCC at Lord's, his medium-pacers yielded a hat-trick against them too.
