Brilliant biographyBy Martin P. KellyOne of the best biographies I have ever read. it would interest cricket-lovers and those who don't have any interest in the game at all1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One of the best cricket books ever. No less than what Larwood deservesBy Avnish AnandThis book won the William Hill Sports Book of Year in 2009 and is one of the worthiest winners of the award.The Bodyline cricket series is remembered as the only aberration to the greatness and near immortality of Donald Bradman ostensibly brought about by unfair means of bodyline bowling. The culpable men - Douglas Jardine and Harold Larwood.Unfortunately for Harold Larwood, Bodyline is all most cricket fans associate him with and remember him for. Well not anymore. All thanks to his fellow Nottingham man, Duncan Hamilton.In this meticulously researched and beautifully crafted book, Hamilton gives us a biography that a cricketer of Larwood's stature truly deserves. Not only does he detail the pacer's life before and after the cricket series, he also builds a convincing portrayal of what Bodyline truly was - a gladiatorial contest between a great batsman and a great fast bowler where the honours went to the latter. In doing so he debunks the commonly held belief that Jardine, Larwood and company used unfair means to stop the Don. The hero-villain depiction was also created because of what happened after the series - Bradman went on to become the greatest batman in the game while the English cricket mandarins did a quick about turn and banished Jardine and Larwood from the game, finding them guilty of tarnishing the game.The passing years cemented this belief and the genuinely great quick bowling exploits of Larwood were lost and forgotten. Luckily, Larwood's feats were recognized and applauded by most of the Aussies who played in the historic series. And that remains the greatest proof that Larwood was one of the greatest who delivered a performance for the ages.The book traces Larwood's journey from being a young Nottinghamshire miner to becoming the fastest and most feared bowler in the world, whose career and honour are ruined by injury, politics and an ungrateful cricket establishment, before he finds redemption and peace in Australia and amongst Aussies.The book is full of wonderful anecdotes which make for fascinating reading. Duncan Hamilton is at times a little too sympathetic to Harold, but we can allow him a little leeway given that he is restoring the glory of a cricketer who got more than his fair share of bad luck.He played a cerebral role in finding a chink in Bradman's armour and creating a weapon to exploit it. This helps correct his historic portrayal as a dim lad who was Jardine's lackey. The two shared a great relationship till the very end. Larwood had the highest regard for his captain and never blamed him for his miseries.The two have never been given their due for being so far ahead of their time and doing something which has become an industry in itself today - detailed video analysis to study opponents and prepare for games.One of the strengths of this book is Larwood's detailed character sketch which paints Larwood as a proud and honourable man who always gave his best for king, captain and country in the most difficult circumstances. He was a principled man who refused to take the chance to resurrect his cricket career at the cost of his honour.The study of Larwood's post bodyline trauma is touching. He is completely overcome with a deep sense of extreme injustice and unable to come to terms with it. He shuns the world of cricket and is afraid of facing his past colleagues.His redemption is equally heart warming. He finds a new life in Australia and slowly reconnects with cricket and cricketers. The respect and admiration that he receives from his fellow cricketers does most of the healing.Larwood was the worthiest adversary Bradman had and he was arguably the greatest fast bowler of his generation. In purely cricketing terms, he got the better of Bradman. He stuck to his principals in spite of his hardships and will never get the recognition he deserved. Bradman got fame and used it to make money. Duncan Hamilton has done his bit to make the long departed Larwood feel less aggrieved about life. He has done so by writing for Harold Larwood one of the greatest cricketing biographies if not the greatest cricket book of all time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Could use a little information...By J. HoughtonI bought this as an Audible book because I will listen to just about anything read by Alex Jennings ("The History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters" by Julian Barnes is nothing short of brilliant) -- but it assumes a level of knowledge and understanding of the game of cricket that as an American I simply do not possess. I daresay there are Brits who are in the same boat. Winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, this is the first ever biography of Harold Larwood. Larwood, one of the most talented, accurate and intimidating fast bowlers of all time is mainly remembered for his role in the infamous Bodyline series of 1932-3 which brought Anglo-Australian diplomatic relations to the brink of collapse.Larwood was made the scapegoat--and despite the fact he was simply following his captain's instructions, he never played cricket for England again. Devastated by this betrayal, he eventually immigrated to Australia, where he was accepted by the country that had once despised him.Acclaimed author Duncan Hamilton has gained unprecedented access to the late sportsman's family and archives to tell the story of a true working-class hero and cricketing legend. This is a brilliant book, encompassing themes way beyond the narrow confines of sport - Times. A magnificently written, intensely moving story of that rarest of breeds - a great England fast bowler...If you want to know why the Ashes matter, you could do worse than lose yourself for a few days in the story of this great and humble man - Michael Atherton, The Times. This is cricket biography of the highest stamp, fit to compare in recent memory with Gideon Haigh's excavation of the life of Jack Iverson, David Foot's dramatic revisionism on Wally Hammond and Leo McKinstry's remarkably even-handed portrait of Geoff Boycott. Five stars.' Wisden Cricketer. Vivid portrayal of his subject ... an excellent cricket biography, one of the best of recent times. Thoroughly recommended' All Out Cricket. One of the most dramatic sporting stories of all time' Sport magazine.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
