 Fan The Flame by Leonard Tim Hector   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Manley insisted that this amazing change of Roberts in his run-up, and delivery, was the result, and could only be the result, of Roberts' study of his own physiology, and was indeed adjustment of machine - the body - to purpose - bowling.
Manley compared Roberts' change in bowling style, and thought it comparable only to the great Headley's change in batting style, or that of the great Jack Hobbs' change in batting style in his later years.
Manley's crucial point was that Andy Roberts observation about basketball displacing cricket was the product of a man who paid the most careful attention to his own game, and to the game, and therefore what Andy Roberts had observed, did not have the status of an "opinion".
