The 1965 English cricket season marked the end of Fred Trueman's international career, although he did not retire from first-class cricket until the end of the 1968 season. A remarkable personality as well as an outstanding fast bowler, Fred took 307 Test wickets @ 21.57 in just 67 Tests. His wickets per test ratio of 4.58 is very high considering that he had great bowlers like Brian Statham, Alec Bedser, Jim Laker, Tony Lock and Fred Titmus as regular team-mates.
