The South African national cricket team toured England during the 1907 cricket season, playing three Tests and twenty four first-class matches. South Africa's quartet of bowlers, Reggie Schwarz, Aubrey Faulkner, Bert Vogler and Gordon White were praised for the quality of their googly bowling,[1] and two of the four—Schwarz and Vogler—were recognised as Wisden Cricketers of the Year the following year.
