Without reading the other two books which I'm saving and having read Ashley Mallets biog, the impression I have at the minute is that he didn't have a backspinner of any type in 1930. The slider isn't mentioned at all. From the descriptions in the Taking Wickets it sounds as though he's discovered the technique for the flippers but hasn't taken them to the full 22yards.
