About Bill Lockwood Cricketer
- William Henry Lockwood (25 March 1868 – 26 April 1932) was an English Test cricketer, best known as a fast bowler and the unpredictable, occasionally devastating counterpart to the amazingly hard-working Tom Richardson for Surrey in the early County Championship.
- A capable enough batsman against weaker bowling sides who scored over 10,000 runs in first-class cricket, stronger bowling tended to show flaws in his technique. In contrast to Richardson's consistency and strenuous work, Lockwood was never capable of long bowling spells.
- He bowled off a much shorter run than Richardson and tended to come down very heavily in his delivery stride.
- Lockwood could break back, though rarely as sharply as Richardson, but what really set Lockwood apart was his unpredictability, with extremely subtle variations of pace and pitch characterising his bowling.
- Frequently Lockwood would deliver a slow ball without change of action and the batsman would claim they never expected it.
