At his quickest he could bowl in excess of 90mph, pace generated Harold Larwood the help of powerful shoulder and back muscles built up working in a coal mine from a young age. It Harold Larwood not just his pace which opponents facing him feared, but also his consistent accuracy and the ability to get the ball to cut sharply back in to the batsman. He would retain a keen interest in English cricket, occasionally commenting on visiting English test sides. A reminder of the hard times many families lived in during this period was illustrated by the younger Larwood having to play at this new level in plimsolls as the family could not afford to buy him new cricket boots. After initially turning out for the second eleven Harold Larwood made his county debut inmarking the occasion with the wicket of the experienced test player Vallance Jupp. It was a taste of things to come, but Larwood had to remain patient for a time, his next game for Harold Larwood first eleven not until Harold Larwood following year against Yorkshire. Yet it was in the season when his career Harold Larwood started to hit the heights. Although he Harold Larwood 5 wickets in a warm-up fixture Larwood missed out on selection for the first test. However he did not have to Harold Larwood too long to make his international debut after being selected for the second test and although Harold Larwood out on the third and fourth matches of the series, he played a significant role in the fifth and deciding test which saw England retain the Ashes. Larwood was to return with over first class wickets in a season 8 times with being the first of those occasions. In Larwood would for the first time tour the country to where he would ultimately emigrate. Accounts from the period say Larwood bowled at a ferocious pace, taking 18 wickets in a series England wonthough the heat and conditions in Australia seemed to take a toll on the fast bowler's effectiveness toward the end of the tour. Larwood had established himself as a county and international cricketer of some repute. He distinguished himself for his country in further test series against South Africa and West Indies before the Australians returned to England in It Harold Larwood a frustrating series for Harold Larwood who suffered illness and missed the second test, before being dropped Harold Larwood the fourth match. The series was the first meeting between legendary Australian batsman Donald Bradman and Larwood and unfortunately for the Englishman Bradman won this initial duel convincingly. Larwood and other bowlers had bowled in this manner in prior test series, though in short Harold Larwood. However in the series in Australia in the competitive English captain Jardine took it to a new level of intensity. Donald Bradman was viewed as having a weakness to the short delivery in to his body. Yet in an era where players had little protection for their body and head the mounting hits being taken by the Australian batsmen from the onslaught of short pitched deliveries aimed toward the body was causing rising anger, with much of it aimed at Larwood. This all but boiled over when a Larwood delivery struck the Australian captain Bill Woodfull just above the heart and the following day batsman Bill Oldfield was hit in the temple, fracturing his skull. Oldfield staggering away from the crease before falling to his knees is one of the most striking images of the series. Amid all the controversy England did what Harold Larwood went to Australia to Harold Larwood by winning the series Larwood played in all five tests and was the leading wicket taker in the series with 33 wickets at an average of He was 29 years old during this tour and probably at his peak, but it was to take its toll as he was made a scapegoat for much of the controversy and discomfort surrounding the tactics employed. He would never play for England again. He consistently took wickets for his county including an impressive haul of in the season. Up until the outbreak of the second world war Larwood coached cricket in Blackpool, before working as a market gardener. After the war Larwood bought a sweet shop which he ran until his emigration to Australia with his family in He took 78 wickets at an average of Across his 14 year first class career Larwood amassed wickets at the cost of just He was also an accomplished batsman scoring over 7, Harold Larwood, including 3 centuries.

A thin, short but strong young man, who lived in a small, predominently coal mining, village in Nottinghamshire started working life as a miner as his father and Harold Larwood had done. He had one passion in life: cricket; and he thought about it all the time, first as a pit-boy aged 14, and then as a 17 year-old on the nightshift chipping away at the coal seam with a pick.

    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.

    OBITUARIES Mr. F.E.Mcelhone Died on 21St July, 1981, Aged 94. Thus

    OBITUARIES Mr. F.E.McElhone died on 21st July, 1981, aged 94. Thus passed the oldest former University player at the time of his death and the last survivor of a University 1st Grade Premiership side. Eric McElhone first played for University in 1905-06 and, during a career which spanned 8 seasons and earned him 2053 runs in 1st Grade, he was a member of the Premiership sides of 1909-10 and 1911-12. His all too brief first class career brought 369 runs for NSW at an average of 41. Eric McElhone was an upright, free-flowing batsman who scored elegantly on the off side with a fine flourish. As a cover point, he had few peers at a time when the University side was a brilliant fielding unit. A handsome pedigree assisted his cricket development immeasurably. His father, Frank, had been one of the founding members of the Waverley Club. One uncle, W.P.McElhone, was chairman of the Australian Cricket Board, and another. Dr. H.V.Hordern, captured 12 wickets with his leg breaks on his Test debut against England in 1911. After years of much success with University, where his trojan deeds in the annual Melbourne Intervarsity matches were legend, McElhone hit up an eye-catching 148 against Middle Harbour at the S.C.G. in 1910 and was chosen in the powerful N.S.W. side. He thus achieved double State honours, having also played baseball for N.S.W. In his second 1st Class match, his 101 against Victoria was made with the grace and ease of a veteran.

  • Sport Psychology: a Students's Handbook

    Sport Psychology: a Students's Handbook

    SPORT PSYCHOLOGY This book offers a student-friendly introduction to the discipline of sport psy- chology. All the key psychological issues in sport are explored and illustrated with sporting examples. Throughout, difficult questions are raised: are athletes born or made? Does participating in sport affect personality? What impact do cultural beliefs have on personal sporting development? These complex issues are weighed up to provide a detailed overview of the topic. Matt Jarvis has substan- tially revised and expanded his original coverage of the subject from his highly successful book Sport Psychology (published by Routledge in 1999). Here he pro- vides a succinct but comprehensive account of major theory and research in sport psychology, whilst maintaining the readable style and student-centred approach which made the previous book so successful. Key issues covered include: • personality and sport • attitudes to sport • aggression in sport • the social factors affecting performance • arousal and anxiety • motivation and skill acquisition. There is an emphasis not merely on learning about sport psychology, but also on developing critical and creative thinking. In addition, the book includes chapters on conducting research and writing essays in sport psychology, as well as reflective exercises throughout the text. Written by a successful author who has experience of teaching at sixth form and undergraduate level, this book will be useful to undergraduates in sport science and leisure management, those studying for the BAQTS and PGCE in physical education, and those studying A-level psychology or sports studies. Matt Jarvis teaches psychology at Totton College and is Visiting Lecturer at Southampton University.
