@navneetsohanpal Nope. Back foot is within the legal area, front foot is at least partly behind the popping crease. Two legitimate balls.

Nasty to face-I suspect over time his figures may have dipped, as not technically as tight. But a great bowler, who doesnt get as much praise as the others. Often don't even here bout him
-
One of the most terrifying bowlers of his time

@navneetsohanpal dont come on just to moan enjoy or dont watch

Must have been a scarey bowler to face. I enjoyed watching Croft bowl.
-
both the balls were no balls
thank you

Interesting run-up he had. Running away from the stumps and then slanting it in almost from the return crease made things very awkward. I heard Geoff Boycott saying today, that whilst he wasn't the quickest bowler he faced, he was certainly the most awkward, and nastiest...

@darkmossie633 Huh, why do you say that ? He went on the the rebel tour to south africa (one of four world cup winners to do so), and got banned from international cricket.
-
I don't understand how he got any pace off that action..

Interesting stats.. Colin Croft had the best stats of any of his peers (bowlers) in the years that he played test cricket. Holding, Garner & Roberts usually gets most of the accolades, but Crofty outperformed all of them when they played together. Look it up.

He would've been the greatest west indian bowler of all-time if his career wern't so short....

his figures of 8/29 are still the best Test innings figures by a fast bowler from the West Indies
