My Song Shall Be Cricket

Branded a 'rebel' for touring in apartheid South Africa with a West Indian XI, Franklyn Stephenson overcame domestic bans to become one of the world's finest all-rounders. Recognised as the first fast bowler to develop a cunning slower ball, the beaming Barbadian was the last to do the Double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in an English summer.

Marcat drept „rebel” pentru turnee in Africa de Sud de apartheid cu un vest-indian XI, Franklyn Stephenson a depasit interdictiile interne pentru a deveni unul dintre cei mai buni jucatori din lume. Recunoscut ca primul bowler rapid care a dezvoltat o minge vicleana mai lenta, Barbadianul care a stralucit a fost ultimul care a facut dublul de 1.000 de curse si 100 de ghiseuri intr-o vara engleza.
