Vigoro - Mr. Miles and Mr. Bosanquet in action

Masters of Racket and Ball. Eustace Miles: Rackets, a high-speed court game played within four walls using a hard ball, requires extraordinary reflexes, stamina, and tactical precision. Miles thrived in this environment. His anticipation and court positioning were widely admired, and he became one of the dominant amateur players of his generation, claiming multiple British and World Championships. Bernard Bosanquet: In the golden age of Edwardian cricket, few figures left a deeper mark on the game than Bernard Bosanquet. He developed a delivery that appeared to be a conventional leg-break but spun in the opposite direction. Initially dubbed the Bosey, it soon became known as the googly. His finest hour came during the 1903-04 Ashes tour in Australia, when he claimed eight wickets in a single innings at Sydney, playing a decisive role in England's victory
