6th July
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that England fast bowler Mark Wood’s 5-34 against Australia at the Leeds Ashes Test on Thursday demonstrated real Beard Power.
Wood was bowling at more than 90mph in short spells and ended with five Australian wickets.
While the speed of his bowling is usually the reason attributed for Wood’s success campaigners say that his Beard Power in key.
Wood has mastered lining up the follicles to give maximum air current traction to the speed of his deliveries.
The combination of beard and ball meant that Mark Wood bowled the fastest spell of bowling in Test history in England with a top speed of 96mph and average speed of over 90mph
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, when batters face Mark Wood they first of all see his beard and then a red cricket ball coming at them at more than 90mph. The combination can be match winning
