I don't remeber seeing him bowl in a test match. Greenidge and Richards batting I did see

We used to have office outings to the London test matches in the late 70s and through the 80s and I remember England being put to the sword by Greenidge and/or Richards a couple of times. Contribution for Haynes too as I remember.
