In his prime, Frank Tyson bowled at a pace comparable to the fastest of all time. Then became a genial looking headmaster!

RIP Typhoon Tyson. More than one person, of massive experience, whose opinions I respect highly, have said that they saw no one bowl faster.

Sad to hear of Frank Tyson's death. Once the fastest bowler in the world and a brilliant writer too. His books are pure joy.
