Frederik Sewards Trueman, OBE (1931 yil 6-fevral - 2006 yil 1-iyul) ingliz tili edi kriketchi, asosan 1948 yildan 1968 yilgacha kim o'ynagan Yorkshire County kriket klubi va Angliya kriket jamoasi. Unda bo'lgan professional holat keyinchalik mashhur muallif va translyatorga aylandi. U tug'ilgan Steynton, Yorkshirning G'arbiy Riding va vafot etdi Stebton bilan Eastburn, G'arbiy Yorkshir. U 603 yilda paydo bo'lgan birinchi toifadagi o'yinlar shu jumladan 67 Sinov o'yinlari, o'ng qo'lni bowlagan o'ng qo'li ko'rshapalak sifatida tez.

Odatda kriket tarixidagi eng buyuk bowlinglardan biri bo'lganini tan olgan Trueman chinakam tez sur'atni ishga solgan va "O'tkir Fred" nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan. U Test karerasida 300 viktni qabul qilgan birinchi bouller bo'lgan.[1] Bilan birga Brian Statham, u ko'p yillar davomida Angliya boulingini ochdi va ular Test kriket tarixidagi eng mashhur bouling sherikliklaridan birini tuzdilar. Trueman ajoyib himoyachi edi, ayniqsa oyoq siljishi va foydali kech buyurtma uchta birinchi toifani yaratgan ko'rshapalak asrlar. U o'zining mukofotiga sazovor bo'ldi Yorkshir tumani qopqog'i 1951 yilda va 1952 yilda saylangan "Yilning yosh kriketchisi "Kriket Yozuvchilar Klubi tomonidan. 1952 yilgi mavsumdagi chiqishlari uchun u" biri "deb nomlangan Yilning Wisden kriketchilari ning 1953 yilgi nashrida Wisden Cricketers 'Almanack.

Uning iste'dodi, mahorati va mashhurligi shu darajadakiki, Buyuk Britaniya bosh vaziri Garold Uilson uni hazil bilan "eng katta tirik Yorkshirman" deb ta'riflagan. Shunga qaramay, Trueman Angliyaning ko'plab jamoalaridan chetlatildi, chunki u tez-tez kriket tashkiloti bilan ziddiyatga tushib turardi, chunki u tez-tez uni "shafqatsizlik" va ikkiyuzlamachilik bilan tanqid qildi. U o'ynashdan nafaqaga chiqqanidan so'ng, u televizordagi faoliyati va ommaviy axborot vositalarining ochiq sharhlovchisi sifatida media shaxsiga aylandi. BBC, asosan ishlaydi Maxsus test sinovlari. U mukofotga sazovor bo'ldi OBE 1989 yilda Qirolichaning tug'ilgan kuniga hurmat kriket xizmatlari uchun. 2009 yilda Trueman tarkibiga kiritildi ICC kriket shon-sharaf zali.[2]

2018 yil avgust oyida Angliyaning 1000-sinovi munosabati bilan u ECB tomonidan mamlakatning eng katta XI sinovida qayd etildi.[3]

Dastlabki hayot va martaba

Bolalik

Fred Trueman hech qachon tug'ilgan. 5, Scotch Spring Lane, Steynton yaqin Maltbi, Yorkshirning G'arbiy Riding.[4] U o'zini tug'ilish paytida 14 funt 1 oz (6,4 kg) vaznga ega va uni onasi buvisi Stimpson xonim etkazib berganini aytdi.[5] Uning qiz ismi Sewards edi va Truemanning ota-onasi uni Frederik Sewards Trueman deb nomlash bilan hurmat qilishga qaror qilishdi.[4] 2006 yilda vafotidan ancha oldin Trueman Stimpson xonim yahudiy ekanligini aniqladi va uni yahudiy qildi. Yahudiy qonuni.[6] U yahudiy deb hisoblanganidan xursandligini aytdi, lekin u bekonli sendvichlardan voz kechishni juda istamasligini aytdi.[7] Kris Uotersning 2011 yilgi biografiyasida bu da'vo haqiqatga mos kelmasligi va Elizabeth Stimpsonning ota-onasi Linkolnshirdan yahudiy aloqalari bo'lmagan er-xotin bo'lganligi aytilgan.[8]

Uning ota-onasi Alan va Ethel Trueman edi va u etti farzandning o'rtachisi edi. Ular qishloq oilasi edilar, ularning uylari Skot-Springs (hozir buzilgan) deb nomlangan teras qatorining bir qismi bo'lib, u qishloq bilan o'ralgan, ammo mildan bir chaqirim narida Maltby Main Colliery va Steynton qishlog'idan yarim mil uzoqlikda. Truemanning bobosi ot sotuvchisi bo'lgan va otasi asosan otlar bilan ham ishlagan, garchi u bir muddat u edi ko'mir ishchisi Maltby Mainda. Uning ota-onasi barcha bolalarga intizom tuyg'usini, halollik va rostgo'ylik qadriyatlarini singdirdi.[9]

Truemanning ta'limi Steynton shahridagi qishloq maktabida boshlangan, u erda uning o'qituvchilari uning qobiliyatini tan olishgan kriket.[10] U otasidan ruhlanib, to'rt yoshida bouling bilan shug'ullana boshlagan. Uning otasi "Steynton" klubining sardori bo'lgan va Trueman uni o'yinlarda kuzatib borgan, bir vaqtlar u faqat sakkiz yoshida klubda o'ynagan.[11] Trueman o'n ikki yoshga to'lganida, oila Maltbidagi Tennison yo'lidagi kattaroq uyga ko'chib o'tdi, u erda Trueman Maltbi o'rta maktabida tahsil oldi.[12]

Kriketchi sifatida rivojlanish

Maltbi o'rta maktabida Truemanda Dikki Xarrison va Tommi Stubbs ismli ikkita o'qituvchi bor edi, ular uning iste'dodini boomer sifatida tan olishdi va uni boshqa o'yinchilarga qaraganda ancha yoshroq bo'lishiga qaramay, uni maktab jamoasiga jalb qilishdi.[12] Maktabda o'ynash karyerasi kriket to'pidan uni jarohatiga urib, jiddiy jarohat olganidan keyin ikki yil davomida to'xtatildi. U 1945 yilda o'n to'rt yoshida yana o'ynashni boshladi, lekin o'sha yozda maktabni tark etib, dastlab gazeta do'konida ish boshladi. A bo'lishdan oldin u bir nechta ishlarga ega edi professional kriketchi.[13] Jarohatidan jabrlangan Trueman bu vaqtda kriketdan voz kechishi mumkin edi, ammo buning o'rniga u oilasi tomonidan rag'batlantirilib, yaqin atrofdagi Roche Abbey nomli qishloq klubiga qo'shildi va 1946 yilda ular uchun muntazam o'ynab turdi.[13] U Roche Abbeyda muvaffaqiyat qozondi va 1947 yilgi mavsumdan oldin, o'n olti yoshga to'lganida, avvalgisiga etib keldi Yorkshir o'yinchi Kiril Tyorner kimga murabbiy bo'lgan "Sheffield United Cricket Club" o'ynagan Bramal-Leyn, Yorkshire tomonidan muntazam foydalanishda bo'lgan zamin birinchi darajali kriket.[14][15]

O'zining tarjimai holida Trueman "ajoyib murabbiy" Kiril Tyornerga qarzini tan oldi, u unga "to'pni to'g'ri ushlab turish" ni o'rgatdi. ikki tomonga tebranish va qanday qilib amal qiling uning bouling harakatlarini bajarish uchun to'g'ri.[16] Trueman 1947 yilgi mavsumda "Sheffild Yunayted" ning ikkinchi XI jamoasi tarkibida bir nechta o'yinlarni o'tkazgan va keyinchalik Yorkshire Kengashi Ligasida o'ynashi uchun asosiy tarkibga ko'tarilgan.[17] Keyingi qishda u Yorkshirdan yopiq murabbiylik mashg'ulotlariga qatnashishga taklifnoma oldi Xingli, Lids nazorati ostida Bill Boues va Artur Mitchell.[17]

1948 yilgi mavsum boshlanishidan oldin, Trueman Yorkshir tomonidan o'n sakkiz yoshgacha bo'lgan futbolchilar uchun Yorkshire Federatsiyasi jamoasiga tanlangan edi, natijada okrugning uchinchi jamoasi.[18] Jamoa Angliyaning janubini aylanib chiqdi va aynan shu safarda Trueman o'zining bo'lajak Yorkshirlik hamkasblari bilan uchrashdi, Brian Close va Rey Illingvort.[19] U Sheffild bilan muvaffaqiyatli mavsumni o'tkazdi va "1948 yil men uchun yaxshi bo'ldi" deb aytdi.[19] U allaqachon Yorkshirshirning bir qator ajoyib futbolchilari bilan uchrashgan edi Jorj Xirst va u mavsum tugaganidan so'ng, gazetadagi xabaridan xursand bo'ldi Gerbert Satklif Trueman Yorkshirda o'n to'qqiz yoshidan oldin o'ynashini bashorat qildi Angliya u yigirma bir yoshga to'lgunga qadar.[20]

1949 yilgi mavsum boshlangach, Trueman Yorkshirdan telegrafni qabul qilib, unga qarshi birinchi darajali o'yinlarda asosiy tarkibda o'ynash uchun tanlanganligini aytganidan hayron bo'ldi. Kembrij universiteti da Fennerniki va Oksford universiteti da bog'lar.[21]

Kriket bo'yicha birinchi darajali va xalqaro martaba

Boshlanishi: 1949 yildan 1951 yilgacha

Trueman o'zining birinchi toifadagi debyutini 1949 yil 11-may, chorshanba kuni Kembrijga qarshi uch kunlik o'yinda o'tkazdi va Yorkshir 9da g'alaba qozondi. viketlar. U adashgan holda a Spin bowler ichida Wisden match report.[22] Boulingni ikkala partiyada ham Brayan Klouz bilan ochish o'rtacha sur'at, Trueman ikkitasini 72 va bittasini 22 ni oldi, chunki Kembrij 283 va 196 ga mos ravishda ishdan bo'shatildi. Yorkshir, e'lon qilingan oltitasiga 317, bittasiga esa 164, natijada 11-raqamda bo'lgan Trueman yutmadi ko'rshapalak. Truemanning birinchi zarbasi ochilgan ko'rshapalak Robert Morris tomonidan ushlanib qoldi Ellis Robinson 19. Ikkinchi davrada Trueman kelajakka ta'zim qildi Sasseks va Angliya raketkasi Hubert Doggart Uchun 23. O'sha kuni yana uchta debyutant Angliya futbolchisiga aylandilar ochiluvchi raketka Frank Lounson Yorkshir uchun; va Midlseks tez bowler John Warr Kembrij uchun. Ko'p yillar o'tgach, Warr Trueman haqida biografik asarni yozdi Barclays World of Cricket.[23] Trueman Oksfordga qarshi ikkinchi o'yinida 72 uchun oltita o'yin natijalariga ega edi, Yorkshirshir 69 marta mag'lubiyatga uchradi.[24] Bir oy o'tgach, u 70 ga qarshi sakkiztasini oldi Kichik grafliklar uning birinchi ko'rinishida Rabbimniki, ikkinchi inning orqali o'zgarishsiz bouling.[25] Birinchisini sharhlash Tuman chempionati o'yin, qarshi Surrey da Park xiyoboni, Bredford, Wisden u "tez va effekt bilan" bowling aytdi.[26]

Ko'pgina yosh futbolchilarida bo'lgani kabi, Yorkshir ham Truemanni tashkil etishga vaqt ajratishni niyat qilgan va uni uzoq vaqtga ajratishga tayyor edi. 1949 yilda o'rnatilgan boulinglar Alek Kokson va Ron Aspinall, ikkalasi ham tezkor, kapitan esa Norman Yardli "qobiliyatli uchinchi tikuv bouleri" edi.[27] Tarix Truemanga qarshi edi, chunki okrug tez tez tezlikda ishlaydigan boulerlarni kamdan-kam qidirib topdi, aksincha "boshqarish qobiliyati, tejamkorligi va uzoq sehrlari bilan o'rta yoki tezkor bouler" ni afzal ko'rdi. Trueman, bir marta tashkil topganidan so'ng, Yorkshir an'anasini aniq buzgan edi.[28]

1930-yillarning buyuk Yorkshire jamoasi tomonidan buzilgan edi Ikkinchi jahon urushi va 1940 yillarning oxirlarida qayta qurish bosqichi boshlangan edi, garchi Yorkshir urushdan keyingi birinchi g'alabani qo'lga kiritgan bo'lsa ham Tuman chempionati 1946 yilda Norman Yardli muvaffaqiyat qozondi Brian Sellers 1948 yilda sardor sifatida va uning o'sha mavsumdagi asosiy jamoasi a'zolari edi Len Xatton, Ted Lester, Harry Halliday, Vik Uilson, Villi Uotson, Frank Smaylz, Johnny Wardle, Don Brennan (qaldirg'och), Ellis Robinson, Ron Aspinall va Aleks Kokson. Rasmdagi boshqalari kelajak sardori edi Billi Satklif va yana ikkita tezkor o'rta bouller, Bill Ford va Jonni Uaytxed. 1949 yilda asosiy jamoaviy o'zgarishlar Frank Smayleni iste'foga chiqarish edi; zudlik bilan 22 va 24 chempionat o'yinlarida qatnashgan Kluz va Lovsonni zudlik bilan tashkil etish, Trueman esa faqat to'rttasida qatnashgan; va faqat uchta o'yin bilan cheklangan Aspinolning jarohati. Aspinall o'zining uchta o'yinida o'ttizta viktetni qabul qilib, sinov sinovidan o'tgan edi, ammo may oyi oxirida u yorilib ketdi Axilles tendoni va mavsumning qolgan qismida ishdan bo'shatildi; haqiqatan ham, u hech qachon samarali bouller bo'lmadi.[29]

Yorkshire dastlab Aspinallni o'rniga qo'ydi Frank McHugh ammo keyin Truemanni Foord va Uaytxedni sinab ko'rish uchun uni iyulda tashlab yuborishdan oldin iyun oyida qaytarib oldi.[30] Truemanga qarshi o'ynashga chaqirildi Yangi Zelandiya Bramall-Leynda sayyohlar iyul oyi oxirida, lekin uning debyut mavsumi shu erda tugadi va keyin sonidan jarohat oldi va maydon tashqarisiga olib chiqilishi kerak edi.[24][31] U Yorkshirning chempionlik uchun "mayda kurashda" qatnashganini u faqat chetdan kuzatishi mumkin edi, yakunda ular ular bilan bo'lishishdi Midlseks, ikkala jamoa ham 192 ochko to'plashadi.[32] U 1949 yilda sakkizta birinchi toifadagi uchrashuvlarda qatnashgan, barchasi Yorkshir tarkibida; Ikkinchi XI uchun beshta o'yinda Kichik o'lkalar chempionati; va Yorkshirning birinchi jamoasi uchun XI armiyasiga qarshi boshqa bir o'yinda, uning tarkibiga yana bir tez keluvchi va kelayotgan tezkor bowler kirdi, Frenk Tayson.

Uchinchi son Playfair kriketi yillik 1950 yilda Trueman "tezkor" ish uchun va ruh bilan ham qurilgan "deb aytgan, ammo" Yorkshir uning yoki boshqa biron bir istiqbolli futbolchining rivojlanishini tezlashtirmaydi ", deb qo'shib qo'ydi.[33] Trueman o'zining tarjimai holida ushbu siyosatni juda tanqid ostiga olgan va hech bo'lmaganda bir marta o'z sardori bilan asosiy tarkibdan chetda qolganligi to'g'risida qattiq eslatganini aytgan.[34] Uni Yorkshire qismida "tez" un deb atagan, Playfair uning "Kim kim" bo'limida Truemanni "istiqbolli RFM" (ya'ni tezkor o'rta bowler) deb noto'g'ri ta'riflagan.[35] Truemenning o'ziga nisbatan tez-tez aytgan qarashlari "eng tez qon to'kkan, nafasni tezlashtirgan" edi.[36]

Truemanning 1950 yilgi mavsumdagi birinchi o'yini Yorkshir uchun G'arbiy Hindiston Park avenyuda sayyohlar. U okrug chempionatida o'n ikki uchrashuv o'tkazdi va o'ynadi "Qolgani "Angliya terma jamoasiga qarshi sinov sinovida. Ikkinchi XIda u faqat bitta uchrashuv o'tkazdi. Uning yuzida va, albatta, o'zining bouling raqamlari bo'yicha, Truemanning Sinov sudiga tanlanishi ajablanib bo'ldi.[37] Wisden bu "abadiylashtirilgan o'yin Jim Laker sakkiztasi ikki ".[38] Truemanning kiritilishi Angliya raketkachilariga tezkor boulingga qarshi mashq qilish uchun mo'ljallangan edi, garchi u karerasining shu davrida u ham uzunlikda, ham yo'nalishda noto'g'ri edi.[39] Selektsionerlarni Angliya raketkachilarining buyuk avstraliyalik bowlingchilarga qarshi takroriy noqulayligi qo'zg'atdi Rey Linduol va Keyt Miller, lekin Jon Arlott gumon qilinishicha, "jamoat tuyg'usini, tezkor bokerga bo'lgan milliy istakni, hattoki tajribasizni ham - tezkor bo'lgan har qanday kishini aks ettirish" uchun ong osti istagi bor edi.[40]

1950 yil Yorkshire jamoasida o'zini tanitishga intilayotgan Trueman uchun umidsiz mavsum edi. Klub qo'mitasi, ammo Uaytxedga qarab, qisqa muddatli foydalanish siyosatini davom ettirdi va keyin bir muddat bekor qilindi. Trueman "kiyinish xonasidagi norozilik" muhitida muvaffaqiyatga erishishga urinishning qo'shimcha muammosiga duch keldi, bu o'yinchilar va qo'mitalar o'rtasidagi odatiy "ular va biz" holatlaridan ko'proq narsani tashkil etdi.[41] Truemanning aytishicha, jamoaning o'zi "kliklarga bo'lingan", xususan "janoblar o'yinchilari" va Xutton singari bir yoki ikkita yuqori darajadagi mutaxassislar, bir tomondan ijtimoiy ambitsiyalarga ega bo'lgan; va o'zi kabi yosh mutaxassislar, boshqa tomondan, Klout, Illingvort va Louson. Vaziyatni ba'zi professionallar o'rtasidagi yomon tuyg'u yanada kuchaytirdi, xususan Uordl jamoada bo'lish qiyin odam edi.[42] Garchi tezkor bo'lsa-da, Trueman tez-tez dovdirab, ba'zan esa qimmatga tushar edi. Bunday "negativlar" juda muhim va murosasiz muhitda bo'lgan.[38] Truemanning debet tomonida, ba'zi hamkasblari uni "og'zi baland va befarq ko'rinishda" deb qabul qilishdi.[38]

Trueman bu paytda yetarlicha ko'ngli qolgan, hatto Yorkshirning an'anaviy raqiblariga qo'shilish haqida o'ylashi mumkin edi Lankashir.[38] Ammo mavsum oxirida u yana Bouus va Mitchellni tinglagan qishki to'rlarga qaytib bordi, mashq qildi, o'zini yaxshi tutdi va kelajakka bo'lgan qat'iyat bilan intildi.[43] Trueman "munosib o'quvchi" edi va Bouz u haqida shunday degan edi: "U bu ish uchun uchta katta boylikka ega edi: tez boulingga bo'lgan muhabbat, kuchli jismoniy va silliq karvonlar harakati".[39]

Yorkshir okrug chempionatida uchinchi o'rinni egalladi, qo'shma g'oliblar Lankashir va Surreydan yigirma ochko ortda qolmoqda.[44] Ko'pincha, Yorkshir 1950 yilda o'n beshta o'yinchi orasidan tanlab olgan bo'lsa-da, ba'zilari vaqti-vaqti bilan maydonga tushishgan. Yardli Xatton va Louson boshchiligidagi jamoani boshqargan, ammo Xattonning sinov qo'ng'iroqlari bilan Xollidey uchun ko'proq imkoniyatlar bo'lgan Geoffrey Keighley. Lester, Uotson, Uilson va Billi Sutliffe boshqa kaltakbozlar, Brennan esa darvozabon edi. Asosiy bowlers Wardle, Coxon va Eddi Leadbeater. Brian Close uning ishini qilar edi milliy xizmat va faqat bitta ko'rinish berishi mumkin edi, Ellis Robinson ketgan va Ron Aspinolning jarohati tufayli karerasi buzilgan edi. Shunday qilib, Trueman va Uaytxed, 13 uchrashuvda maydonga tushishdi, to'rtinchi bouling uchun bahslashishdi, ammo bittadan o'yinchi biri edi Bob Appleyard, 1951 yilda kim katta ta'sir ko'rsatishi mumkin.

Trueman rivojlanishining keyingi bosqichi uning tezligini ishga solish va to'pni to'liq nazorat qilish edi. Bouz va Mitchell 1950-51 yillarda ishlagan va "uning bouling yaxshilanganligi darhol sezilib turardi".[45] 1949 va 1950 yillarda u har ikkala mavsumda ham 31 marotaba vikipediya olgan bo'lsa, 1951 yilda u 90 marta oldi, shu jumladan oltita marotaba beshta viktni. Uning mavsumdagi eng yaxshi tahlili sakkizta, 53 marta qarshi bo'lgan Nottingemshir da Trent ko'prigi u birinchisini qo'lga olganida xetrik to'pni dahshatli ta'sir bilan silkitib, Yorkshir 9 ta piket bilan g'alaba qozondi. Uning xet-trik qurbonlari bo'lgan Reg Simpson, Alan Armitaj va Piter Xarvi.[46]

Truemanning kareradagi barcha to'rtta xet-triklari Yorkshirda amalga oshirilgan va bu u bilan okrugdagi rekorddir Jorj Makoley.[24] Xet-trik uchrashuvi Trueman o'sha mavsumda Nottingemshirdagi battingni ikkinchi marta yo'q qilgan edi. Bir oy oldin Bramal Leynda u 26 ga uchtasini va 68 ga sakkiztani olib, Yorkshirga inning va 33 ta yugurishda g'alaba qozonishiga imkon berdi. Ga binoan Wisden, Trueman "juda tez sur'atlarda bowladi va tez-tez to'pni uchirib yubordi".[24]

Trueman Yorkshirning birinchi jamoasida o'z o'rnini mustahkam egallashi uchun Bramall Leynda o'n bir g'ildirak tashishini kutgan bo'lishi mumkin edi, ammo uning zudlik bilan mukofoti dam olinib, qarshi o'ynagan Ikkinchi XI bilan o'n ikkinchi odam vazifasini bajarishi kerak edi. Linkolnshir da Klithorpes sport maydonchasi.[34] Yorkshirga nisbatan adolatli bo'lish uchun, keyingi birinchi va ikkinchi XI uchrashuvlar uchun jamoalar tanlangan edi, chunki u sakkiztasini 68 ga olmadi.[38] U umidsizlikni tezda yutib yubordi va Trent ko'prigida 53 yoshda bo'lgan sakkiztasini uning biograflaridan biri xulosa qildi Don Mozi "Trueman davrining boshlanishi" sifatida.[38]

Ichki muammolar va kelishmovchiliklarga qaramay, Yorkshir ikkinchi o'rinni egalladi Warwickshire okrug chempionatida.[47] Muammoli o'yinchilarning biri Aleks Kokson ajablanarli tarzda 1950 yilgi mavsumdan so'ng iste'foga chiqdi va Angliyada o'ynagan yuqori toifadagi bouler bo'lishiga qaramay, "uning yuzi to'g'ri kelmadi" degan gaplar keng tarqaldi.[48] Brayan Kluz o'zining milliy xizmatini tugatishi bilan atigi ikkita uchrashuv o'tkazdi; va Rey Illingvort o'zining debyutini o'tkazdi, ammo faqat bitta uchrashuvda maydonga tushdi. Jonni Uaytxed bor-yo'g'i etti marta o'ynaganida, Yorkshir asosan 13 nafar futbolchidan iborat tarkibga ishongan, shu qatorda 26 chempionat o'yinlarida maydonga tushgan Trueman. Qolgan o'n ikki doimiy - Yardli (kapitan), Xatton, Louson, Lester, Uotson, Uilson, Xeldeydi, Satkliff, Brennan, Uordl, Leadbeater va Appleyard. 1951 yil 13-avgust, dushanba kuni Trueman va Bob Appleyard o'zlarining mukofotlari bilan taqdirlandilar County caps jamoa sardori Norman Yardli tomonidan.[49]

RAFdagi milliy xizmat: 1951 yildan 1953 yilgacha

1948 yilda Yorkshire bilan birinchi ishtirokidan beri Trueman Maltby Main-da qishki ish joyida ishlagan (u haqidagi shahar afsonalaridan farqli o'laroq, u hech qachon konchi bo'lmagan).[50] Yorkshir uni uni uchun ishlashga undagan edi Milliy ko'mir kengashi shuning uchun u zaxiralangan kasbda bo'lishi va shu sababli milliy xizmatdan qochishi kerak edi.[51] 1950-51 yil qishida u ishini sirdan chiqarishni va biron bir bosqichda chaqiruv uchun javobgar bo'lishini bilib oldi. U 1951 yilgi mavsumdan so'ng ko'ngilli bo'lishga qaror qildi va shu bilan birga, Yorkshir shtatining yangi qo'mitasi qaroriga binoan, chaqirilgan har qanday cheklangan futbolchilarga haftasiga 5 funtdan maosh to'lanadi, bu o'sha paytda yaxshi ish haqi edi.[50]

Trueman o'zining milliy xizmatini o'z zimmasiga oldi Qirollik havo kuchlari da RAF Xemsvel yilda Linkolnshir. O'sha bosqichda, ko'ra Wisden, "RAF Yorkshire County Cricket Club-ga qaraganda kamroq ierarxik edi va u Yorkshire qo'mitasi bilan solishtirganda xizmat muddatining injiqliklari bilan kurashgan".[38] U keyingi ikki mavsumda u 1953 yilgi mavsum oxirida safdan chiqarilgunga qadar bo'lgan. Shu vaqt ichida u Angliya termasida o'zining birinchi debyut uchrashuvini o'tkazdi Hindiston 1952 yilda va 1953 yilda qatnashgan Kul ketma-ket qarshi Avstraliya.

Stantsiya qo'mondoni bo'lganidan baxtiyor edi Guruh kapitani Kriket ishqibozi bo'lgan va unga sinov va vaqti-vaqti bilan okrug o'yinlariga ketishga ruxsat berishga tayyor bo'lgan Jim Uorfild. Bundan tashqari, Uorfild Truemanni jihozlar va o'yin maydonchalariga qarash bilan sport bo'limida ishlashga qaror qildi.[52] Shunga qaramay, odatdagi qoidalarning bu yumshashi savollarni tug'dirdi Jamiyat palatasi boshqa bir chaqiriluvchining onasi mahalliyga shikoyat qilganidan keyin Deputat uning o'g'li milliy ishtirok etish uchun ta'tildan bosh tortganligi haqida banjo chempionat o'ynash. Trueman u tilga olingan birinchi odam o'zi ekanligini ta'kidladi Xansard kriket aloqasida.[53] Uning RAFdagi shaxsi AC2 F. S. Trueman edi 2549485. Keyinchalik AC1 darajasiga ko'tarildi.[45]

Milliy xizmat Truemanni 1952 yilda atigi to'qqizinchi toifadagi o'yinlarga cheklab qo'ygan, ammo ulardan to'rttasi sinovlar edi. U 5-iyun, payshanba kuni Angliya termasidagi debyut uchrashuviga qarshi birinchi sinovda qatnashdi Hindiston da Xingli. Len Xatton Seriyadan oldin Angliya sardori etib tayinlangan edi, bu lavozimni 20-asrda egallagan birinchi professional va uy seriyasida birinchi bo'lib ishlagan. Uchrashuv, ayniqsa havaskorlar tashkiloti o'rtasida ziddiyatli kechdi, ammo Xutton "yosh Truemanning ko'z yosh bilan boulingini yoqtirmagan zaif hind tomoniga qarshi oson tashabbusga ega edi".[54] Trueman unga boulingni ochgan Angliya Alek Bedser, to'rt kun ichida bo'lib o'tgan bahsda 7 ta vikt bilan g'alaba qozondi. Hindiston 293 ni qo'lga kiritgan birinchi inningnda 89 dan uchtasini olganidan so'ng, Trueman ikkinchi zarbada shov-shuvli sehrni yaratdi va faqat 14 ta to'p bilan o'ralgandan so'ng, Hindiston to'rttaga aylantirildi, Trueman viketlardan uchtasini oldi. U to'rttasini 27 bilan yakunladi, chunki Hindiston 165 ochkoni qo'lga kiritdi. Angliya birinchi zarbada 334, ikkinchisi esa 128 ni tashkil etdi va uchtasi g'alabani ta'minladi. Angliya ikkinchi sinovda g'olib bo'ldi Rabbimniki 8 ta piket bilan. Trueman yana Bedser bilan boulingni ochib, to'rttasini 72 ga, to'rttasini 110 ga oldi. Uchinchi testda Old Trafford, Angliya inning va 207 yugurishda g'alaba qozondi, Trueman sakkiztasini 31 ga, 9ni bitta oldi. Ovaldagi to'rtinchi va oxirgi sinov yomg'ir ostida vayron bo'ldi va Angliya oltitasi uchun 326 ball to'plaganidan so'ng, Hindiston atigi 98 yoshga to'ldi. Trueman 48 bilan beshtaga, Bedser bilan beshtaga 41 ga deyarli o'ynash mumkin emas edi. Shunday qilib Truemanning debyut seriyasidagi piketlar soni 29 ga teng edi.[38] U mavsum davomida "olish tendentsiyasida" muammoga duch keldi tikish ", bu" muntazam bouling bilan tez-tez mashq qilishning etishmasligi "deb tashxis qo'yilgan.[45]

1952-yilgi okrug chempionatida Yorkshir kuchli kurashni amalga oshirdi, ammo oxir-oqibat ikkinchi o'rinni egalladi Styuart Surrij 1958 yilgacha ketma-ket ettita unvonning ajoyib seriyasini boshlagan ajoyib Surrey jamoasi.[55] Trueman beshta chempionat o'yinlari bilan cheklangan, ammo Yorkshir Brayan Kluzni milliy xizmatidan qaytarib olgan. Yardli yana kapitan, boshqa yordamchilar esa Xatton, Louson, Lester, Xeldeydi, Uilson, Uotson, Satkliff, Brennan, Uordl, Leadbeater va tezkor o'rta bowler edi. Bill Xoldsvort kim Truemanning faol ishtirokchisi edi. Xoldvort faqat 1952 va 1953 yillarda 24 ta o'yin o'tkazgan; lekin Trueman 1954 yilda to'la vaqtli harakatga qaytganidan keyin hech qachon.

1952 yilda, asosan, Hindistonga qarshi sinov kriketidagi yaxshi o'yinlari natijasida Trueman ovoz berdi Yilning yosh kriketchisi kriket yozuvchilar klubi tomonidan. Keyingi bahorda u biri sifatida nomlandi Yilning kriketchilari 1952 yilgacha Wisden Cricketers 'Almanack uning 1953 yilgi nashrida (qolgan to'rttasi edi) Garold Gimblett, Tom Graveney, Devid Sheppard va Styuart Surrij ). Wisden Truemanning bag'ishlovida u "5 fut 10½ dyuym va 13st 9lbs og'irlikda" va "ikkinchi bo'lishga va'da beradi. Xarold Larvud "Tikish" bilan bog'liq muammoni eslatib, Wisden "Truemanning yuqori darajadagi test battsmenlariga qarshi zarur bo'lishi mumkin bo'lgan uzun sehrlarni chalish uchun jismoniy rivojlanish bosqichiga etganligi shubhali". Yorkshir, Truemanga "hamma so'ragan narsalarini bajara olishidan oldin" yana ikki fasl kerak bo'ladi deb o'ylagan bo'lsa-da, Angliya, albatta, "so'nggi yillarda boulingning eng yaxshi istiqboliga" egalik qiladi va Wisden Truemanning atributlarini Larvud bilan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri taqqoslash bilan ushbu izohga ergashdi.[45]

1999 yilda yozish, Derek Birley Kariyerasidagi ushbu muhim daqiqada Trueman haqida "u hali ham o'z hunarini o'rganayotganini va aksincha o'zini qanday tutishini" aytgan.[54] Birley Truemanni "urushdan keyingi hodisaning dastlabki kriket namunasi, uning iste'dodi - qahramonga qarshi qahramonligi uchun sabr-toqatli va intizomsiz yoshlar" deb bilgan.[54] Birli, Trueman oxir-oqibat o'zining "ibtidoiy hazil tuyg'usi, dahshatli xotira va to'g'ridan-to'g'ri qarashlari" tufayli "nihoyatda ommabop jamoat arbobi" ga aylanganini tan oldi, bularning barchasi uni bir tomondan ommaviy axborot vositalarining sevimlisiga aylantirdi, ammo boshqa tomondan, xuddi shu fazilatlar uni "okrug kriketlari sxemasida unchalik mashhur bo'lmagan" qildi, u erda "maydon tashqarisidagi kabi qo'rqib ketdi" Qadimgi mariner ".[54]

Trueman o'ynadi futbol uchun Linkoln Siti uning milliy xizmati paytida. U 1952-53 yilgi mavsumda RAF Xemsvell tarkibida o'ynagan va Linkoln Siti menejeri tomonidan ko'rilgan Bill Anderson, uni Linkoln zaxirasida o'ynashga taklif qilgan. Trueman hujumchi yoki qanotda o'ynaydigan hujumchi edi. 1952 yilgi "Sinovlar" seriyasidagi o'yinlaridan so'ng uning ommaviyligini hisobga olgan holda, jamoatchilik uning futboliga katta qiziqish bildirgan va Linkoln o'ynagan paytda uning tashrifi ancha oshgan. Oxir oqibat, Bill Anderson unga professional shartlarni taklif qildi, ammo Trueman kriketga e'tibor berishga qaror qildi va agar u futbol jarohati olgan bo'lsa, uning sinovi va okrugidagi faoliyati uchun xavf tug'dirishini bildi, u rad etdi.[56]

1953 yilgi mavsumning eng asosiy voqeasi Trueman va Angliya kriketining boshqa barcha izdoshlari uchun Avstraliyadan ketma-ket g'alaba qozonish bo'lib, Angliyaga Angliyadan beri birinchi marta kulni yutib olishga imkon berdi. tana chizig'i 1932–33 yillarda seriya. Trueman qur'a tashlangan dastlabki to'rtta sinovni o'tkazib yubordi va oxirgi bo'lib Ovalda Angliya 8ta vikt bilan g'alaba qozongan Ovalda o'ynadi, qisman uning to'rtta muhim viktini olganligi tufayli. "Noto'g'ri, ha; albatta, yovvoyi; ammo olov va dinamitga to'la", deb yozgan edi Jek Finglton.[38]

Yorkshir, aksincha, yomon mavsumni o'tkazdi, ammo uni qisman sinov qo'ng'iroqlari, jarohatlar va Truemanning milliy xizmati ta'siridan oqlash mumkin edi. Ular okrug chempionatida o'n ikkinchi o'ringa tushib qolishdi, bu o'shanda ularning eng past mavqei edi.[57] Ilgari sanoqli o'yinlarda maydonga tushgan Rey Illingvort 1953 yilda Yorkshirning chempionlik jamoasida doimo qatnashgan va boshqa yosh istiqbollarga erishilgan Mayk Kovan, Dag Padgett, Bryan Stott va Ken Teylor. Aks holda, asosiy tayanchlar avvalgidek edi: Yardli, Xatton, Louson, Lester, Xeldeydi, Uotson, Uilson, Satkliff, Brennan va Uardl. Close faqat ikkita uchrashuvda, Trueman esa o'nta uchrashuvda maydonga tushgan. Bill Xoldsvort 14 ta uchrashuvda qatnashgan va Bill Ford, so'nggi mavsumda maktab o'qituvchisi bo'lishga qaror qilguniga qadar 22 ta uchrashuvda qatnashgan.

Vakolat bilan to'qnashuvlar: 1954 yildan 1956 yilgacha

Truemanning chet elga birinchi safari G'arbiy Hindiston, keyingi qish (1953-54) RAF tomonidan safdan chiqarilgandan so'ng sodir bo'ldi. U birinchi darajadagi sakkizta uchrashuvda, shu jumladan beshta sinovdan uchtasida qatnashdi va 45-da beshta eng yaxshi kuch sarflagan holda 33.66 da 27ta viktorina oldi. Bu munozarali tur bo'lib, uning natijalari Truemanning keyingi faoliyati davomida xalqaro faoliyatiga salbiy ta'sir ko'rsatdi. bir necha yil. MChJ boshida professional sardor ostida jamoani chet elga jo'natishdan "xavotirga tushgan" edi, ammo Xattonga hozirgina kulni yutgan huquqini inkor eta olmadi.[58] Angliyada asosiy bouller bo'lgan juda kuchli jamoa bor edi Trevor Beyli, Jim Laker, Toni Lok, Johnny Wardle, Brian Statham va Trueman. Boshqa tomondan, jamoada kuchli menejment bilan bir qatorda kuchli belgilar bor edi.[58]

Xatton Vest-Indiya futbolchilari bilan birodarlikni to'xtatdi va bu Truemanning doniga qarshi chiqdi, chunki u birodarlik qilishdan ko'ra yaxshiroq narsani yoqtirmaydigan ochko'z belgi edi.[58] Trueman bilan do'stlashdi Frank Vorrel va boshqa g'arbiy hindistonlik futbolchilar u bilan Angliya ligasi kriketida uchrashganida va Xattonning siyosatiga qattiq e'tiroz bildirgan, chunki u bu ishda yolg'iz emasligini va ayniqsa Xutton bunga hech qanday sabab yo'qligini aytgan. Trueman MCC iyerarxiyasidan (ya'ni Allen, Braun va boshqalar) Xuttonga talabni berishga ko'rsatma berganlikda gumon qildi. O'z navbatida, u kim bilan do'st bo'lishi kerakligini kimningdir aytishiga yo'l qo'ymaydi.[59] G'arbiy Hindiston yozuvchisi C. L. R. Jeyms 1953-54 yillardagi ingliz jamoasini "faol ravishda yoqtirmaslik" ga izoh berdi. Uning so'zlariga ko'ra, bu "shunchaki jismoniy shaxslarning sportga xos bo'lmagan xatti-harakatlari tufayli emas", ammo bu erda jamoa birinchi navbatda "Buyuk Britaniyaning va shu bilan mahalliy oqlarning obro'sini o'rnatish uchun" borligini ko'rsatadigan "dalillar" mavjud.[60]

Trueman uning jangovar uslubini yoqtirmaydigan G'arbiy Hindiston olomonini tezda chetlashtirdi, ayniqsa u ko'rsatmalarga rioya qilganida va u to'p bilan urgan kaltakdoshlarga achinmadi.[58] G'arbiy hindistonlik muxlislar unga "" janob Bumper odam "laqabini berishdi va kimdir uni yozgan kalipso ga asoslangan u haqida dengiz shanty Mast dengizchi.[38] U maydon tashqarisidagi vaziyatlarda ham yomon ahvolga tushib qoldi, shu jumladan, u va Toni Lok buni amalga oshirishda ayblashdi Denis Kompton u ingliz kriketining "oltin bolasi" sifatida, hech qanday tahqirdan tashqarida edi.[61] Bu jamoa tarkibida edi Barbados eng ko'p takrorlangan "Trueman hikoyalari" ning biri kelib chiqishi aytilgan, garchi u deyarli apokrifal bo'lsa ham. Kechki ovqatda Trueman mahalliy bir martabali odamga, hindistonlik oliy komissarga: "Pass t'salt, Gunga Din" ga buyruq bergani aytiladi.[62] Ekskursiya yakunlangach, Trueman o'zining g'azabiga ko'ra o'zini tutishi uchun bonusni taqib qo'ydi. Hech qanday sabab ko'rsatilmadi va u muvaffaqiyatsiz biron sababga erishishga harakat qildi, ammo Xutton ham, MCM ham bu haqda batafsil ma'lumot bermadi. Trueman hech qachon Xattonni kechirmadi va ikkalasi yana Angliya uchun birga o'ynashmadi.[63]

Trueman birinchi sinovda o'ynagan Sabina bog'i Ammo 107 ga ikki, 32 ga teng bo'lmagan ko'rsatkichlar bilan u qimmat bo'lib chiqdi va G'arbiy Hindiston 140 ta yurish bilan g'alaba qozondi. U ikkinchi va uchinchi sinovlarda ham jamoadan chetlatildi, ammo to'rtinchisi uni chaqirib oldi Qirolichaning bog'i Oval chizilgan; Trueman yana kurash olib bordi va G'arbiy Hindistondagi sakkizta 681ni to'plaganligi sababli, birinchi inningnda 131 ga qaytdi. Everton haftaligi 206, Frank Vorrel 167 va Klayd Uolkott 124. Trueman Sabina Parkdagi so'nggi sinov uchun saqlab qolindi, Angliya to'qqizta viktorin bilan g'alaba qozondi va ketma-ket ikkitasini ketma-ket oshirdi. U Beyli bilan boulingni ochdi va ikkitasini 39 ga, 88 ga uchta raqamini qaytardi, Beyli esa G'arbiy Hindiston faqat 139 ga teng bo'lmagan birinchi o'yinda 34 ga teng o'yinda yettitasini ishlab chiqardi.

1953-54 yilgi turdan keyin Angliyaga qaytib, 1954 yilda Trueman 1951 yildan beri birinchi marta to'liq mavsumda ishtirok eta oldi. Jim Kilburn 23 yoshida Trueman "tezkor bouling uchun odamning jismoniy qiyofasini egallagan", deb yozgan edi, bu jasoratga qarshi kurashish va kaltakchilarning texnikasini shubha ostiga qo'ygan.[64] U 33 uchrashuvda maydonga tushdi va birinchi marta bir mavsumda 100 ta vikeddan oshdi. Uning ko'rsatkichi soat 15.55 da 134 edi. Sakkiztadan eng yaxshi natija 28 ga etdi. Yorkshir 1954 yilda County chempionatida g'alaba qozonishi kerak edi, ammo dastlabki etti uchrashuvning oltitasida g'alaba qozongan, ammo avgust oyida nam ob-havo yomon urilib, Surreyni ortda qoldirgan.[65] Trueman va o'rtacha templi Appleyard samarali kombinatsiyani yaratdilar, Uordlning aylanishi bilan qo'llab-quvvatlandilar va Yorkshirning bouling tomoni kuchli edi. Jamoaning qolgan qismiga asosan Xatton, Louson, Yardli, Lester, Uotson, Vik Uilson, Klouz, Illingvort va darvozabonlar kirdi. Roy But.

Arlott Truemanning boulingni yaxshilash uchun sarflagan mashaqqatlarini eslatib o'tdi, avval "ish paytida eng so'nggi tengsizlikni yumshatish" va so'ngra aniqlikka erishish.[66] Trueman o'zining tarjimai holida Yorkshirshirning 1950-yillarning o'rtalarida va o'rtalarida jamoadagi bo'linishlar doimiy ravishda pastga tushib, muammolarda Yardli va Xattonni ayblaganini aytdi. 1954 yildagi vaziyatni qayta ko'rib chiqing, u Yardlining Uordl va Appleyardning munosabati bilan shug'ullana olmasligini alohida eslatib o'tdi.[67]

1954 yilda Yorkshire uchun juda yaxshi sport formasiga qaramay, Truemanga qarshi o'tkazilgan biron bir sinov uchrashuvida joy yo'q edi Pokiston Keyingi qishda u Avstraliya va Yangi Zelandiya safari uchun tanlanmagan. 1954 yil sentyabr oyida u birinchi rafiqasi Enid Chapman bilan unashtirildi va 1955 yil mart oyida ular turmush qurishdi. U qish oylarida mebel sotuvchisi bo'lib ishladi.[68]

1955 yilda Trueman "tortish" deb nomlangan muammoga duch keldi, chunki u to'pni qo'yib yuborganda orqa oyog'i bouling burmasi ortida qolmagani uchun ikki marta to'psiz qoldi (ya'ni etkazib berishni tugatmasdan oldin orqa oyog'ini chiziq bo'ylab tortib olgan) ). Buni bartaraf etish uchun u yugurishni olti metrga qisqartirdi va hech qanday tezlikni yo'qotmadi.[69] Yorkshir County okrugi chempionati uchun ikki ot poygasida qatnashgan, ammo yana bir marta yomon sehr tufayli bu safar iyun oyida tushgan va Surrey ketma-ket to'rtinchi unvonni qo'lga kiritganligi sababli ikkinchi o'rin bilan kifoyalanishi kerak edi.[70] Appleyard kasalligi tufayli Trueman va Uordl Close-ning yordami bilan boulingning asosiy vaznini bo'lishishdi. Arlott ta'kidlaganidek, Yorkshirda Trueman uchun tezkor bouling bo'yicha sherik yo'qligi sababli "jiddiy zaiflik" mavjud edi. Kovan bo'lganida vaziyat yengillashtirildi, ammo uning chiqishlari milliy xizmat tomonidan cheklandi va keyinchalik 1955-56 yillarda Pokistonning MCC safari paytida belidan jarohat oldi.[71] O'zgarishlarning ba'zi belgilari bor edi, eng muhimi, kelishi bilan Jimmi Binks 1960-yillar jamoasi Dag Padgett va Ken Teylorning chiqishlari bilan vikipedchi sifatida shakllana boshladilar. Appleyard, Hutton va Lester avvalgiga qaraganda kamroq harakat qilishdi. Aks holda, Trueman bilan asosiy yordamchilar Close, Illingworth, Lowson, Billi Sutliffe, Wardle, Watson, Vik Wilson va Yardley edi.

1955 yilda Angliya mag'lubiyatga uchraganida, Trueman Lorddagi ikkinchi sinov uchun Angliya jamoasiga qaytishga majbur bo'ldi Janubiy Afrika 71 yugurish bo'yicha. Stetam bilan boulingni ochib, u 73 ga ikkitasini oldi, bu esa qimmatga tushdi, 39 ga teng bo'lmagan, Angliya uchun Statham ikkitasiga 49, yorqin yettiga 39 hisobida g'alaba qozondi. Bu Truemanning 1955 yildagi yagona sinovi edi. Frenk Tayson Old Trafforddagi uchinchi sinov uchun esga olindi. 1955–56 yillarda sinov safari bo'lmagan, shuning uchun Trueman Angliya safida o'ynash uchun keyingi imkoniyatini butun yil kutishi kerak edi.

Avstraliyaliklar 1956 yilda Angliyaga tashrif buyurgan va, Piter May Xuttondan keyin Angliya sardori bo'lib ishlagan Trueman ikkita sinov uchun chaqirib olindi. Ikkinchisida Lord 185's musobaqasida Avstraliya g'alaba qozonganida, Statham bilan boulingni ochdi va 54 ga ikkitasini, 90 tasiga beshtasini oldi. Ikkinchi inning paytida u sinov kriketida o'zining 50-chikishini oldi. Keyt Miller orqada qolib ketdi, ammo Miller so'nggi kulib qo'ydi, chunki uning o'nta zarbasi Avstraliyada g'alaba qozondi. Trueman Xinglingdagi uchinchi sinov uchun o'z o'rnini saqlab qolish uchun etarlicha ishladi, u erda Angliya inning va 42 ta pog'onada g'alaba qozondi. Bu spinnerning viketi edi va avstraliyalik viketlarning 18 tasi Laker va Lokga tushdi. Trueman Beyli bilan birga boulingni ochdi va birini 19 ga, bittasini 21 ga oldi va rad etdi Kolin Makdonald ikkala taymda ham. Brian Statham returned for the now legendary fourth Test at Old Trafford, taking Trueman's place and opening the bowling with Bailey, but no pace bowlers were needed here for this was "Laker's Match", the Surrey off-spinner taking an unparalleled 19 wickets in the match.

Trueman made 31 first-class appearances in 1956 but had difficulty with a persistent strain in his left side, exacerbated by occasional siyatik, and he reverted to his long run after more problems with drag at the start of the season.[69] Yorkshire's team underwent change before the season began with the retirements of Hutton and Yardley. Yardley was succeeded as captain by Billy Sutcliffe, with whom Trueman had a good relationship.[72] Rain badly affected the County Championship and Yorkshire managed only eight wins in their 28 matches to finish seventh.[73] With Trueman largely ineffective due to his injury, the bowling was carried by Appleyard, Wardle and the emerging Ray Illingworth.[69] Binks, Illingworth and Vic Wilson played in all of Yorkshire's 28 championship matches in 1956. The other essential players, besides Trueman when fit, were Appleyard, Close, Lowson, Padgett, Sutcliffe, Taylor, Wardle and Watson.

Trueman was not included in the 1956–57 tour of South Africa, in which England relied for pace on Bailey, Statham, Tyson and Piter yuklovchi. To keep his name in the frame, Trueman accepted an invitation to make a short tour of India with C. G. Howard's XI, which played two matches between 30 December and 8 January. Howard's team included Alec Bedser, Tom Graveney, Bill Edrich, Reg Simpson, Willie Watson and the Australians Bryus Dooland va Kolin Makkul. The two matches, played in Calcutta and Bombay, were to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Bengalning kriket uyushmasi, Trueman taking eight wickets and achieving top score in one innings when he struck a rapid 46 not out.[74]

The great Test bowler: 1957 to 1964

In 1952, after Trueman's early success against India, Len Hutton had commented that he needed another five years to mature as a bowler; and it was in 1957 that Trueman returned to the fore and finally became an established England player.[75] He overcame his side strain and recovered his form, taking 27 wickets in his first four matches. New regulations about time-wasting caused him to reconsider his run up which he limited to eighteen yards.[76]

Trueman was selected for the first Test against West Indies and kept his place for the entire series.[76] He was England's leading wicket-taker with 22 at 20.68. His great partnership with Statham began in earnest and for six years the pair were a formidable presence in international cricket, Statham noted for his accuracy and persistence, Trueman for his rhythm and dynamics.[77] Trueman's selection in this series can be put into some perspective by the fact that his great rival Frank Tyson achieved 100 wickets in a season for the first time, yet Trueman was now clearly considered England's best option to partner Statham.[76] As Arlott recounts, the third Test at Trent Bridge featured "one of the finest sustained bowling performances of Trueman's life".[78] In a high-scoring match which was eventually drawn, Trueman and Statham took 15 wickets between them from a combined 135 overs, which is a considerable total for two pace bowlers. In the context of the match, they were both outstanding and their joint performance was acclaimed as the first major success in a partnership that the selectors now regarded as long-term.[78] England did not have an overseas tour in the winter of 1957–58.

Trueman played in 32 first-class matches in 1957, taking 135 wickets. He had an outstanding time in his favoured leg slip position, holding 36 catches. There were more problems in the Yorkshire dressing room, principally a petition started by certain players for the club committee to sack Billy Sutcliffe from the captaincy. Trueman refused to sign it but, in August, Sutcliffe decided to resign. Despite this, Yorkshire still managed to finish third, though a long way behind champions Surrey.[76] Yorkshire's main players in 1957 were Appleyard, Binks, Close, Illingworth, Lowson, Padgett, Sutcliffe, Taylor, Trueman, Wardle, Watson and Vic Wilson.

Ronni Burnet was Yorkshire's new captain in 1958. Not an accomplished player, though he had previously captained the club's Second XI, he was a good man-manager and a firm disciplinarian who could get the best out of what was to be a new team in which Trueman was, apart from Brian Close and Vic Wilson, the most experienced player. Burnet made his mark in 1958 with the sacking of Wardle for disciplinary reasons.[79] The other "trouble-maker", Appleyard, lost his ability as a result of his illnesses and Yorkshire dropped him for good mid-season. Although the team could only finish 11th in the County Championship, having lost 24 full days to the weather, it was a much happier dressing room than it had been since 1946. Regular team members now included Binks, Brayan Bolus, Burnet, Close, Cowan, Trueman, Illingworth, Lowson, Padgett, Devid Piklz, Fil Sharp, Stott, Taylor, Trueman, Don Uilson and Vic Wilson which meant that the great Yorkshire team of the 1960s was really beginning to take shape.[80]

Trueman played in all five Tests against New Zealand in 1958, taking 15 wickets in the series at an average of 17.06. This was a wet summer and most of the bowling in the series was done by spinners, but he still managed five for 31 in the first Test at Edgbaston.[81] He pulled off a remarkable anticipatory catch in the Lord's Test when he stepped forward from his short leg position to catch the ball off a defensive stroke with his hand on the batsman's boot.[81] In the final Test at the Oval, he made the highest score of his whole Test career with 39* in twenty minutes, including three sixes off Aleks Moir.[81]

Despite sending what was, on paper, a very strong team on the 1958–59 tour of Avstraliya, England lost the Ashes to Richi Benaud 's Australians, who won the series 4–0 with the third Test drawn. Tom Graveney recalled that "it was a miserable tour (and England) were never a team".[82] Graveney agreed with Trueman that the biggest problem was the tour manager, jigarrang, who "did a very bad job".[82] Graveney confirmed that Brown had been rude to several team members and "was a very stuck-up individual, at least when he was sober".[82] Brown tried to make trouble for Trueman from the outset of the tour but Trueman had learned a lot from his West Indian experience five years earlier and made a formal complaint about Brown to the team captain, Piter May. Although May was a public school-educated amateur like Brown, he supported Trueman and reprimanded Brown, telling him to "act in a manner more befitting someone with managerial responsibility".[83] For his part, Trueman described Brown as "a snob, bad-mannered, ignorant and a bigot".[84]

Trueman was one of several players who suffered injury or illness on the tour and missed the first Test because of a back problem. He was fit in time for the second Test but was not selected. He took part in the last three Tests, taking nine wickets with a best analysis of four for 90. At the Sidney kriket maydonchasi, he established an excellent rapport with the Australian spectators. The fourth Test at the Adelaida Oval was the only one in which Statham, Trueman and Tyson played together for England.[85] On the New Zealand leg of the tour, he played in all five first-class matches, including two Tests, and took 20 wickets.

For the first time in Trueman's career, Yorkshire won the County Championship outright in 1959. He made a major contribution to that success as he took 140 wickets. Arlott wrote of Trueman's deep commitment to the Yorkshire cause in 1959, the title win being the achievement of a career ambition. Trueman owed personal loyalty to Burnet and had developed affinity with his younger colleagues.[86] The club's main players in 1959 were Binks, Bolus, Burnet, Close, Illingworth, Padgett, seamer Bob Platt, Sharpe, Stott, Taylor, Trueman and the Wilsons.

England played India in the 1959 Test series and Trueman, whose selection problems were by now behind him, played in all five Tests. He bowled the most overs and took the most wickets, 24 at 16.70. The series was a poor contest, England winning all five Tests as India had a very weak team at the time.[87] The outcome of the series was evident in the first Test, which England won by an innings and 59 runs. Wisden records how England captain Piter May used his three pace bowlers Trueman, Statham and Alan Moss "in short relays to keep them fresh".[88] The tactics gave India "no respite" and Trueman, the main destroyer, "always looked likely to tear through the whole side".[88]

When MCC toured the West Indies in 1959–60, England had a largely rebuilt team and were not expected to do well but several batsmen scored Test centuries and England won the series 1–0 with four matches drawn. In direct contrast to his previous visit to the Caribbean, this tour was Trueman's happiest and most successful, largely because he had an excellent relationship with the manager Valter Robins and did not have to put up with the likes of Allen and Brown.[89]

In 1960, Vic Wilson having succeeded the retired Burnet as captain, Yorkshire won the Championship again but Kilburn wrote that they did so "without laying any pretensions to being an outstanding side".[90] Trueman's bowling by then contributed the team's main strength. He played in all five Tests that summer against South Africa yet still captured 150 wickets for Yorkshire, sometimes serving as a fast-medium bowler off a shortened run. His outstanding performance was taking seven in both innings against Surrey at the Oval.[90] Trueman's value to the team was illustrated by them, in Kilburn's words, "having to wait for wickets when he was not in action".[91] He made 32 first-class appearances and took 175 wickets, the highest season tally of his entire career, at the outstanding average of 13.98. Yorkshire's team in 1960 was mostly drawn from Binks, Jek Birkenshou, Bolus, Close, Cowan, Illingworth, Padgett, Mel Rayan, Sharpe, Stott, Taylor, Trueman and the Wilsons.

The 1960 Test series against South Africa was the first time Trueman and Statham bowled together throughout and Arlott wrote that they "virtually won that Test rubber". England won the first three Tests and, in these, Trueman and Statham shared 39 wickets. Their final tallies were Statham 27 and Trueman 25.[92] In its summary of the series, Wisden said that the South African batsmen did not come up to expectations because they could not handle Statham and Trueman.[93]

Trueman played in the first four Tests against Australia in 1961 and, although he effectively won the third Test for England, they failed to regain the Ashes. Wisden said that the third Test, played at Headingley, should be remembered as "Trueman's Match" because "two devastating spells by him caused Australia to collapse". He took eleven wickets in the match for 88 runs, his best performance in Test cricket to date, and England won by eight wickets with two days to spare. Yorkshire finished second in the County Championship behind Xempshir, who won the title for the first time. Playfair said the Yorkshire team were looking distinctly jaded in the closing matches. Trueman and Illingworth were the outstanding bowlers for Yorkshire, both taking over 120 wickets in county matches.[94]

In 1962, Yorkshire regained the County Championship title, but had to defeat Glamorgan on the final day of the season to secure the necessary points. Vic Wilson retired at the end of the season. The main players were Binks, Bolus, Close, Illingworth, Padgett, Ryan, Sharpe, Stott, Taylor, Trueman, Don Wilson and Vic Wilson. In another outstanding season of pace and swing, Trueman took 153 first-class wickets in 33 first-class appearances. He also scored 840 runs, which was the best season tally of his whole career but, because of inconsistency, he remained well short of the standard required if he was to be termed an all-rounder, though that is not something he ever pursued given his workload as a specialist bowler. In a five-Test series that year, England made short work of a Pakistan team that was weak in attack. As in 1961, Trueman played in the first four Tests but not the fifth Test at the Oval. He took 22 wickets in the series, his best match being the second Test at Lord's in which he took nine, the highlight being six for 31 in the first innings to bowl Pakistan out for only 100.[95]

Trueman and Statham had taken 216 and 229 Test wickets respectively after the 1962 season so, when they toured Australia and New Zealand in 1962–63, both were poised to overtake the world record of 236 set by Alec Bedser, who was England's assistant-manager on the tour. Australian captain Richie Benaud was also in contention with 219 but, as expected, it was Statham who broke the record and he extended it to 242 wickets. Statham did not play in New Zealand and Trueman was then able to overtake him, extending the record to 250. The series was drawn, one win apiece, so Australia retained the Ashes. Trueman took three for 83 and five for 62 in England's victory at the Melburn kriket maydonchasi qachon sardor Ted Dexter used him in short bursts, setting defensive fields until he could return.

Although England were well beaten by Frank Vorrel 's outstanding West Indies team in 1963, Trueman had an outstanding series. After West Indies won the first Test at Old Trafford by ten wickets, many thought they would cruise to a series win but Trueman inspired an England fightback. The second Test at Lord's was a classic match in which all four results were possible until the last couple of balls but it ended in a draw. Trueman took eleven wickets in the match with six for 100 and five for 52. Richie Benaud, who had just joined BBC TV, said that Trueman "showed wonderful control of swing and length" in a "magnificent" performance.[96] In the third Test at Edgbaston, Trueman went one better by routing West Indies for England to win by 217 runs. He took five for 75 and seven for 44. In the second innings, he took the last six West Indian wickets in only 24 balls at a cost of four runs.[97][98] It was all to no avail, though, as West Indies won both the last two Tests to take the series by three Tests to one.

Yorkshire retained the County Championship title in 1963. Toni Nikolson reinforced Yorkshire's faster bowling and provided Trueman with an able accomplice. In addition, Yorkshire's batting was considerably enhanced by the emergence of Geoff Boykot va Jon Xempshir. Trueman took 76 wickets in the Championship, 34 in Tests and 129 in all matches. By this time firmly in the category of senior cricketers, Trueman was well aware of his position and its implied privileges but realised that both his energies and his resolve had to be nurtured.[99] He captured five wickets in each innings when Yorkshire defeated West Indies at Aklam bog'i, eight for 45 against Gloucestershire at Bradford and, for England, had a match return of 12 for 119 at Edgbaston.[100] U ikkita gol urdi asrlar, the first of his career, one against Northemptonshir which Kilburn described as "timely in the context of the match" and the other at the Skarboro festivali where he hit six sixes and 11 fours in 67 minutes.[100]

Trueman was selected for the first three Tests against Australia in 1964, was omitted from the fourth and then recalled for the fifth in which he became the first bowler to capture 300 Test wickets. England again failed to recover the Ashes in a generally disappointing 1964 series which is only memorable for Trueman's unprecedented feat. On 15 August 1964, he reached the milestone when he had Nil Xok tomonidan ushlangan Kolin Kovri at slip in the fifth Test at the Oval. Hawke, a good friend of Trueman off the field, was the first to congratulate him. The occasion produced one of Trueman's few concessions to fatigue when he was asked if he thought his record would ever be broken and he quipped: "Aye, but whoever does it will be bloody tired".[23] As Warr pointed out: "This comment reveals the essence of the man. A touch of belligerence, a hint of humility, a pinch of roughness and an over-riding sense of humour".[23] Meanwhile, Yorkshire lost the County Championship title which was won for the first time by a very strong Vorsestershire team which starred Tom Graveney va taniqli Bazil D'Oliveira, Norman Gifford and fast bowlers Len Koldvell va Jek Flavell. Trueman's overall achievements in 1964 did not meet his own high standards and his tally of exactly 100 wickets was well down on his totals in recent seasons.

Final flourishes: 1965 to 1972

A graph showing Trueman's Test career bowling statistics and how they varied over time.

Trueman's Test career ended in 1965 after he had played in the first two of a three-match series against New Zealand. In Kilburn's view, Trueman's "decline" was "not from skilful and purposeful and beautiful bowling but from devastating fast bowling" and it may have been accelerated by the change in 1964 to the no-ball law which, he contends, impacted the rhythm of fast bowlers with long run-ups culminating in a long delivery stride.[101] Trueman continued to play first-class cricket for Yorkshire till the end of the 1968 season when his retirement was by his own decision.[101] He bowed out of Test cricket with a then world record of 307 wickets at an average of 21.54.

Although he was the first bowler to take 300 Test wickets, he had undergone numerous clashes and problems with the England cricketing hierarchy and was not involved in the tours of Australia (1954–55); South Africa (1956–57) and (1964–65); India and Pakistan (1961–62); or India (1963–64). From the beginning to the end of his international career, England played 118 Tests and he missed 51 of them. He recalled in his memoirs: "Irrespective of the fact I was at the top of my game for Yorkshire and frequently topped the county bowling averages, I was often overlooked for England. To my mind the reason for this was personal. Quite simply, some of the selection committee did not like my forthright attitude, which they misinterpreted as being "bolshy". Rather than pick the best eleven players for the job, the selection committee would often choose someone because he was, in their eyes, a gentleman and a decent chap. Such attributes often took precedence over someone's ability to play international cricket".[102] He also wrote: "For this reason I was selected for far fewer Tests than I believe I should have been. To my mind, if I'd had the opportunity to play in those Tests, I'm sure I would have topped 400 wickets. But that was not to be, even though I was regularly taking 100-plus wickets a season for Yorkshire".[102]

Trueman made 33 first-class appearances in 1966 and was able to focus on his county career, helping the team to win the first of three consecutive County Championships to 1968. He says he "grew old gracefully (in cricketing terms)".[103] He took 111 wickets, the twelfth and final time that he achieved 100 in a season. He made 31 first-class appearances in 1967 but greatly reduced his workload as a bowler, operating mainly in short spells. He had recognised that he could no longer maintain fast pace for the same time as he had done formerly, though he did comment on encountering "any number of sluggish wickets that summer".[104]

In 1968, with Brian Close injured for a long period, Trueman was Yorkshire's acting captain in several matches and ensured that the team completed their hat-trick of titles. An event that gave Trueman considerable satisfaction was to lead Yorkshire to victory, by an innings and 69 runs, against a Test-strength Australian team at Bramall Lane. Trueman showed great tactical awareness throughout the match with a timely declaration of Yorkshire's innings and then ensuring that Australia faced slow bowlers only during periods of poor light. He himself took key wickets and Yorkshire, always in control, "surged confidently to their victory".[105] He followed his policy of the previous season by bowling in short spells.

Following Yorkshire's victory over the Australians, Trueman decided to take stock of his career and decided that it was a good time to retire, so that he could "bow out while still at the top". As it happened, Brian Statham had announced that he would retire at the end of the season and Trueman decided to delay his own announcement after seeing the emotion of Statham's last match at Old Trafford. Trueman admitted that he would be unable to cope with a similar display of emotion by Yorkshire followers and postponed his announcement until well after the season had ended. He then quietly delivered a polite letter to the Yorkshire committee and so happily "avoided a big farewell"[106]

Although he had officially retired, Trueman made one final first-class appearance in 1969 when he agreed to appear at the Scarborough Festival and play for the Xalqaro kavalerlar gastrolga qarshi Barbados team. He surprisingly reappeared in 1972 when he joined Derbishir and played in six limited overs matches.

Summary of career statistics

For the details of this, see Playfair in 1969 and 1970. Trueman's autobiography has an extensive career stats appendix starting on page 381.

In 603 first-class matches, Trueman scored 9,231 ishlaydi shu jumladan uchta asrlar, with a highest score of 104 and held 439 ushlaydi. He took 2,304 viketlar shu jumladan to'rtta xet-trik, at an average of 18.27 with a best analysis of eight for 28. In 67 Test appearances, he scored 981 runs with a highest score of 39* and held 64 catches. He took a then world record 307 Test wickets with a best analysis of eight for 31. His tally of 1,745 wickets for Yorkshire is bettered only by Uilfred Rods, Jorj Xirst, Shofild Xay va Jorj Makoley. He achieved 100 wickets in a season on 12 occasions, with a best return of 175 wickets in 1960. He holds the record for most consecutive first-class matches played (67) in which he took a wicket. Trueman played in only 18 limited overs matches and took 28 wickets.

Approach to cricket

In his own words, Fred Trueman "didn't play cricket for social reasons like some of the fancy amateurs". It was his living and he "played to win".[107] Conversely, he would try and do something each day to make the crowd laugh and "he breathed life and humour into any cricket match".[24] He took his bowling very seriously indeed but he liked to entertain when he was batting or fielding. On the occasions when he captained his team, especially in 1968 when Brian Close was injured for a long time, he proved to be "a shrewd and intelligent exponent of the craft (of captaincy)".[24]

Ga binoan Devid Frit, it was his "sense of fun and mischief" that prompted Trueman to make a habit of visiting the opposition dressing room and this was always "more than a social call". Sometimes he did genuinely want to see a "good mate" in the other team, such as Tony Lock or Brian Statham, but more often than not it was "a declaration of war, an acutely personal challenge, clothed in rollicking humour and self-caricature".[108]

Trueman always maintained his hostility towards the perceived arrogance and "snobbishness" of some in the cricketing establishment, especially the likes of Allen (or "Sir", as he wished to be called).[109] Trueman hated what he called "fancy caps" or "jazz 'ats", which specifically meant those of MCC and the universities, and was alleged to say on seeing the wearer of such a cap that he would "pin him to t'bloody sightscreen".[110][111] On one occasion, a Cambridge University batsman, having just been dismissed, acknowledged him with the condescending compliment: "That was a very good ball, Mr Trueman". Trueman replied: "Aye, wasted on thee".[77] In a similar vein, his view of the Janoblar va o'yinchilar fixture was that it was a "ludicrous business" that was "thankfully abolished" after the 1962 season.[112]

Bowling

John Warr, with whom Trueman shared his first-class debut, wrote that from the beginning of his career, Trueman's run-up was "curving and long but nicely modulated".[23] David Frith continued with Trueman reaching the wicket, where he turned his body side-on and cocked back his ball-carrying right arm, as the leading left arm was hoisted, before "an awesome cartwheel" sent him into a followthrough which "resembled a Dengiz g'azabi finishing its mission along the runway of an aircraft carrier".[113] Warr said Trueman's final stride had a "pronounced drag" which caused him some difficulties when the front-foot rule was introduced. His bowling arm was kept high through the delivery stride, to generate extra bounce and pace off the pitch, and the movement of the ball was "predominantly away from the bat" (i.e., the out-swinger).[23] Trueman himself maintained that his ability to bowl outswingers consistently was "another new ingredient I brought to the county game".[107] Sifatida Moris Leyland said to him: "Keep bowling those outswingers, Fred, and you'll be all right. That's the one that gets the great batsmen out!"[107] Trueman acknowledged that other great fast bowlers who could bowl the outswinger well were Rey Linduol va Wes Hall; but Brian Statham and Frank Tyson could not.[112]

In Jim Kilburn's view, "(Trueman's) place among the truly great bowlers of cricket history is beyond question".[101] He had a "resilience of spirit (that was) as marked as the physical power that gave him such remarkable freedom from injury over the years".[114] His name on the team-sheet was "an advertisement for any match".[115] Trueman's method was a long, accelerating run-up ending in a wide delivery stride with a "cartwheel" swing of the arms and a balanced follow-through.[101] Technically, he was "highly accomplished" as he had much more than mere speed at his command, for he learned in-swing, out-swing and variation of pace and length.[115] Kilburn's final analysis of Trueman's contribution to Yorkshire cricket is: "In an XI representing all the county history he would be selected".[114]

In his early days, Trueman had very fast pace but tended to be wayward and was liable to be punished accordingly.[24] His natural hostility in that period earned him his famous nickname of "Fiery Fred".[23] As time went by, much of the belligerence and raw pace faded being replaced by a growing mastery of the bowling arts.[24] Strength, determination and stamina were always among Trueman's greatest attributes and with maturity came a control of both seam and swing.[24] In Warr's view, Trueman learned that it was unwise to always follow a boundary with a bouncer and instead he cultivated the yorker as "a potent weapon".[23] Trueman was one of the most charismatic cricketers of the post-war period and this charisma has been summarised by Mick Pope and Paul Dyson in "the rolling up of the flapping shirt sleeve on the walk back to his mark; the tossing back of the wayward locks of black hair before the smooth accelerated run to the wicket culminating with a high cartwheel action and drag of the back foot through the crease", the conclusion being that "Trueman is one of English cricket's icons".[24]

Trueman's career lasted twenty seasons, an extremely long span for a fast bowler, and Arlott noted of him that he maintained his form and ability "much longer than the peak period (i.e., a decade) of even the best of the kind (and) he was, when the fire burned, as fine a fast bowler as any".[24] When explaining his success as a fast bowler, Trueman always maintained that he was "blessed by two things from birth": the "Trueman tenacity" and the "perfect physique for a fast bowler". He said that the essentials for that perfect physique were having strong, thick legs – "always the first essentials" – with big shoulders and hips.[116]

Wisden described Fred Trueman as "probably the greatest fast bowler England has produced".[38] Trueman would have considered this to be an understatement as he believed himself to be "t'finest fast bowler that ever drew breath" and there were many who agreed with him.[110]

Batting and fielding

Although he always saw himself as a specialist bowler, Trueman was an outstanding fielder and a useful late order batsman. He preferred to field close in, his favourite position being leg slip, and he was a fine and safe catcher.[24] Warr says Trueman was a "brilliant ambidextrous thrower" and he "made life very easy for his captain to place him advantageously in the field".[23] Though he had some talent as a batsman, Trueman never aspired to becoming a genuine all-rounder. He lacked the necessary consistency as he batted primarily to entertain but he had a good defensive technique with a range of attacking strokes which he would employ boldly.[24] His batting consistency did improve in later years and he scored three first-class centuries.

Maxsus test sinovlari

Trueman was an expert summariser for the BBC's Maxsus test sinovlari radio cricket commentaries from 1974 to 1999, forming close friendships with commentators John Arlott and Brayan Jonston. He was well known for his direct style of commentary and frequently used a catch phrase, "I don't know what's going off out there", to express his dismay that current England players lacked his knowledge of tactics.[117] Trueman was noted for his dislike of many aspects of the modern game, especially one-day cricket and the frequency with which current fast bowlers sustained injury. He was criticised by some for being unduly negative about current players and for glorifying cricket "in my day".[117] He once remarked, amusingly without any sense of irony: "We didn't have metaphors in my day. We didn't beat about the bush".[118]

Trueman was nevertheless respected for his unsurpassed knowledge of the mechanics of fast bowling, and many feel he should have been used as a bowling coach for England's under-achieving teams of the 1980s and 1990s, a point once emphasised by his fellow-summariser Trevor Bailey on Maxsus test sinovlari.[119] A good example of Trueman's coaching ability had occurred in 1975 when he was approached by the Australian fast bowler Dennis Lill yordam uchun. Lillee was having trouble with both his run-up and bowling action, problems that Trueman had already observed and mentioned on the radio. Trueman gave Lillee the technical advice that provided the solution and Lillee was soon able to recover his form, though this was at the expense of England. Trueman received criticism from many people in the England camp for helping an Australian player, especially after Lillee publicly acknowledged his debt to Trueman. Bailey, on the other hand, completely rejected this criticism and said that the "prima donnas" of English cricket should also have the sense to consult experts like Trueman.[119]

Television, journalism and other media work

In the 1970s Trueman presented the Yorkshire Television ITV dastur Indoor League, which was broadcast at 5.15 pm on a Thursday evening, after the children's programmes.[120] This show had a notably Shimoliy, working class focus, and featured pab kabi o'yinlar dart, bar bilyard, surish hapenny, skittles va armrestling. Trueman anchored the programme with a pint of achchiq va uning quvur to hand, and signed off each week with his catchphrase, "Ah'll sithee" (Yorkshir lahjasi for "I'll be seeing you").[121]

He made guest appearances in a number of popular British television programmes of the 1970s. He played himself in an episode of Clover-da ikkita (series 2, episode 6), where he appeared alongside Sid Jeyms va Viktor Spinetti.[122] Another notable appearance was in the Dadam armiyasi epizod "Sinov " (series 4, episode 10), which centred on a cricket match. Trueman's character bowled one ball and then retired with a shoulder injury.[123]

U mavzu edi Bu sizning hayotingiz on 5 December 1979.[124] U bir ustun yozdi Yakshanba odamlar newspaper for 43 years to provide coverage of cricket and regbi ligasi.[125] Soon after his retirement from cricket, he tried his hand at being a stand-up comedian but found after-dinner speaking to be a more congenial and lucrative occupation.[126]
