Gordon Rorke - RIP

Gordon Rorke was one of the most significant people ever to have played the game of cricket: he was responsible for a change in a basic rule that had existed since the game began.

For over a hundred years, for a delivery to be legal, a bowler’s back foot had to be placed behind a line level with the stumps. Gordon’s unique bowling action of leaning back in his delivery stride and via his momentum, dragging forward on the toe of his back foot, meant that at the time of delivery his back foot might well be in front of the batting crease
