Was one of the best bowlers of the inter-war period and for a time the most important force behind Yorkshire's dominance of the County Championship. For England, his extreme weakness as a batsman, and, more important, injuries, restricted the number of Tests he played, yet his Test record in an era of flat pitches and prolific run-scoring remains exceptional. Indeed, his Test average during the 1930s is the lowest of any major England or Australia bowler. He played a number of times for Yorkshire in 1929, but really established himself in 1930 when, despite not being a regular choice early on, he took 100 wickets for the first time. Bowes was selected for the infamous "bodyline" tour of 1932/33 but played in only one Test, in which he bowled Bradman first ball at the MCG but took no other wicket.
