Arthur Mold


 

Arthur Mold (born May 29, 1863, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire; died April 27, 1921, Middleton Cheney) was one of the deadliest fast bowlers of his day, but also the most controversial. Despite his very short (four paces) run, Mold could generate great speed and often make the ball break back viciously even on hard, firm, ground. On drying or crumbling wickets, Mold was almost unplayable, and for both his native Northamptonshire (then not a first-class county) and Lancashire, Mold was a prolific wicket-taker.
