In the latter part of the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century the American city of Philadelphia produced an amateur cricket team that was capable of competing with the best the rest of the world had to offer. That was thanks, in large part, to a bowler who many at the time viewed as the best they had ever seen.
His name was John Barton King and he was a master of swing bowling, conventional and reverse swing; he even developed a wobbly seam delivery. He was a century ahead of his time and this is the remarkable story of a bowler that the Australian Ashes captain, Syd Gregory, claimed was more difficult to face than England's legendary S F Barnes.
