Profile Summary
A lively seam bowler, more so on helpful wickets, Geoff Arnold, nick-named 'Horse' because of his initials GG, played 34 Tests and 14 ODIs for England. He often used his tall height to gain bounce from a length.
However, he lacked the quality of a John Snow or a Chris Old and was rendered ineffective on less helpful wickets. He was dropped from the England set-up after a poor Ashes series in 1975.
Arnold though thrived on the domestic circuit, capturing over 1100 wickets to go with 7 half-centuries with the bat lower down the order. After his playing career, Arnold served as a bowling coach for England.
