The row of two-up/two-down terraced housing and admiring glances from t'local lasses should be clues enough.  Even if his face was blurred, Fiery Fred is immediately recognisable by his action.  A true man amongst bowlers.
When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat.

Too easy for you W.G, I was hoping the younger ones wouldn't know who he was.

First bowler to take 300 wickets. In those days no one thought that was beatable and in few decades he is now 19th on that list. Makes you think, we might think 750-800 test wickets is legendary but in the future, what will be the benchmark?

OK

Who is this legendary right-arm swing bowler offering the benefit of his experience to the Pakistani team?

 I saw the 300th - Neil Hawke caught Cowdrey  bowled Trueman.

  Hawke actually shook Fred's hand on his way back to the pavillion !

It's always good to see things in person. Did you plan on seeing his 300th wicket or were your tickets just perfectly timed?

At least he showed sportsmanship. You don't see too much of it these days with players not walking when there's a thin edge. There's always that dissapointment of getting out but shaking his hand on what was a truly astonishing achievement shows chracter.
