What’s a non-ball?

Walsh bowled many a no-ball. It is Holding who bowled only a single no-ball in tests. Who remember..."The bowler is Holding, the batsman (is)Willey.

@Brerzerk

I do not believe that this is accurate.


I remember listening to West indies cricket commentary.

Holding first came off the short run inn an away series (I think Hindia).

Cozier remarked that to that point in time, Holding had 1 no-ball.

He bowled a few after he came of the short run.

Cozier was amazed that he bowled no-balls after coming off the short run.


Now I am typing from memory and feel free to correct me with facts and not guesss.

BTW: I tried checking old records of tests,

unfortunately these records do not show no-balls

or wides against the bowlers.

I clearly remember Cozier's conversations.

Back in those days, we had no live coverage, save radio.
