About Bob Appleyard

  • Robert Appleyard (27 June 1924 – 17 March 2015) was a Yorkshire and England first-class cricketer.
  • He was one of the best English bowlers of the 1950s, a decade which saw England develop its strongest bowling attack of the twentieth century.
  • Able to bowl fast-medium swingers or seamers and off-spinners with almost exactly the same action, Appleyard's career was almost destroyed by injury and illness after his first full season in 1951.
  • In his limited Test career, he took a wicket every fifty-one balls, and in first-class cricket his 708 wickets cost only 15.48 runs each.
