Larwood. Tate the best cricketer in this battle, but Larwood such a great
character in one of cricket's greatest dramas.

Cricketer Of The Year
Tate

One of the holy trinity of medium-pacers, along with Barnes and Bedser, but without much question the most easy-going and engaging character of the three. He was an absolutely heroic performer for England, bowled his heart out on miserable concrete roads in Australia despite boots filled with blood from his mashed-up toes. He was a magnificent player with a outstanding record, particularly for a bowler who had to play against Bradman.
