William Eric Hollies was an English cricketer, who is mainly remembered for taking the wicket of Donald Bradman for a duck in Bradmans final Test match innings, in which only four was needed for a Test average of 100. Hollies played all his firstclass cricket career for Warwickshire, taking 2,323 wickets at less thanapiece.
Hollies was born in Old Hill, Staffordshire. A leg spin bowler, Hollies made his English county debut for Warwickshire in 1932 and debuted for England in 1935, after showing his skill on the generally easy Edgbaston wickets. Hollies did not spin the ball as much as most legspinners but he gained in accuracy as a result, and he frequently bowled amazingly long spells for his county, most notably 73 overs in one innings against Worcestershire in 1949. He varied his stock legbreak with a topspinner and googly that were difficult to detect and gained him many wickets, most famously the one of Bradman in 1948.
