GREAT BOWLERS AND FIELDERS: THEIR METHODS AT A GLANCE

Beldam was a professional photographer and the first practitioner to properly capture sportsmen in action. Before he came on the scene "real action" shots were posed. For this book he captured in action the great bowlers and fieldsmen of the day, while Fry dissected the techniques involved in each type of bowling.
