	Encyclopedia: Tich Freeman
		Tich Freeman (Alfred Percy Freeman; born May 17, 1888; died January 28, 1965) was a Kent leg spin bowler and the only man to take 300 wickets in an English season.
		Freeman relied chiefly on a leg-break that pitched on middle-and-leg, so that batsmen had to play at it, and a top-spinner that was notoriously difficult to detect and brought him hundreds of wickets; the googly he used sparingly.

		On its first day, Lancashire's Dick Tyldesley was stumped off fellow England legspinner Percy "Tich" Freeman, who was playing for the Rest.
		With a depressing lack of originality, Freeman was known as Tich because he wasn't very tall - but his bowling figures were those of a colossus.
		Freeman finished with 304 as The Rest won by an innings.

		Leg spin is a bit of a throwback to the early part of the twentieth century when leg spinners were almost ten a penny.
		The legendary Tich Freeman, only 5ft 2in, had an extraordinary first class career for Kent and England during which he took 3,776 wickets Â— the second most in cricket history.
		Not only will this now never be beaten, but it also suggests that English batsmen were as bad at playing leg spin in the 1920s as they are renowned to be today.

		In 1927, his first full season for Kent, Ames did so well with the gloves that it was clear the county needed to look no further for a wicket-keeper.
		The following year his partnership with ''Tich" Freeman was cemented once and for all.
		That was the season when the little spinner took 304 wickets, and Ames assisted all the Kent bowlers and Freeman in particular with 122 dismissals.

	BBC News \| CRICKET \| England-West Indies 1928
		West Indies won the toss and batted first in the second Test at Manchester and although opener Clifford Roach made 50, they were dismissed for 206 with Tich Freeman taking five for 54 with his well-flighted leg breaks.
		The tourists lost both openers for ducks in their second innings and only Martin and Hill offered prolonged resistance as Freeman completed a magnificent individual display with five for 39 as West Indies were dismissed for 115 to lose by an innings and 30 runs.
		Another half century by Roach was the highlight of West Indies' 238 all out, their best score of the series, but a masterly 159 by Hobbs, supported by half centuries from Sutcliffe (63), Tyldesley (73) and Maurice Tate (54) gave England a first innings lead of 200.

		Only five feet two (158 centimetres) tall, Freeman nonetheless had strong fingers and could bear incredible amounts of work without seemingly feeling anything at all.
		Between 1928 and 1933 Freeman, in his early forties, took 1,673 wickets in six consecutive seasons - over 400 more than any other bowler has obtained in a comparable period.
		Freeman really did seem to live his own life as a county cricketer, even if Kent were totally dependent on it for many years
