Bert Vogler

Bert Vogler,  was regarded by many as the best bowler in the world in 1907,

reached the highest class while playing for South Africa. Delivering the off-break with a leg-break action, while depending chiefly upon the legbreak, he could keep going for a long time without losing length. He picked up 64 wickets in 15 Tests at 22.73, and his impressive first-class showing resulted in 393 wickets in 83 matches at 18.27. Strangely enough, considering the height he attained in 1907, Vogler accomplished little afterwards, barring his innings-best of 7 for 94, which came against England in Johannesburg in 1910.
