Summary

Cricket player Bernard James Tindal Bosanquet. He toured Australia in 1903-04 with the MCC team and proved successful in the Test matches with a new type of delivery, a ball which appeared to be a leg-break but turned the other way. Australians called the ball the 'bosie' after the man who opened our eyes to it. We now tend to call the delivery a 'wrong-un'. Australians subsequently proved successful with the delivery [Hordern, Mailey, Grimmett, O'Reilly. Benaud and Warner for example] and the 'bosie' was once described as England's most costly export.
