George Simpson-Hayward, the last representative of Lob Bowling passed away on 2 October 1936.

He played 5 Tests for England in the 1909/10 season and took 23 wickets. This was the historic tour where a team won a Test match for under arm bowling — which had been near impossible since Test cricket started.
It was seeing him that Clary Grimmett used to practice his various breaks in over arm bowling—which led to the birth of the modern flipper.
From 1895 to 1914, he scored 5556 runs in first-class matches with an average of 18 (including three 100s) and captured 503 wickets. He also played for Worcestersheire, then playing in the Minor Counties.
He was also the captain for a while at the County Championships.

Simpson-Hayward toured India in 1902/03 with of the Oxford University Authentics Team.
During the tour, the team played 19 matches, in which he scored a total of 870 runs in 16 matches at an average of 34 (2 hundreds and 3 fifties), captured 102 wickets at an average of 11, apart from 19 catches.
A double century against Peshawar, a century against the United Provinces, a hat-trick against Aligarh Muslim University and Behar Wanderers and 8 for 19 in the first innings against Oudh, a memorable milestone.
He played two matches at the Eden. There were only three first-class matches in the entire tour in which he scored 93 runs (a highest of 45) and took 10 wickets.
The matches were against Bombay (the game that saw Junglee Greg's double century), the Parsis and Gentleman of India (almost private Test).
