Game after Grace era

The cricketing world  saw the antics of W.G. Grace initially. But the latter part wrote a new and innovative story.

There was an emergence of new techniques in the bowling as well as batting.

• At the beginning of the 20th century, the bowling, a new ball “Googly” came               into play.
• It came into play by BJT Bsanquet after he did an experiment on the billiards table.
• These years saw emergence of many great leg spinners like Voegler, Faulkner, Skiwatz and White.
• The other innovations was the introduction of “seam”.
• The bats were of the same size as they are today.
• The stumps were 28 inches long and 8 inches wide.
• The balls were bigger than they are now.
