Gentlemen And Players
£16.00
Gentlemen v Players was a first-class cricket match first played in 1806 which was subsequently an annual fixture at Lords between teams consisting of amateurs (the Gentlemen) & of professionals (the Players). The amateur was not merely someone who played the sport in his spare time but a particular type of first-class cricketer. The key difference between the amateur & the professional was much more than one of remuneration whereby the one received expenses for playing & the other was paid a wage. It was shaped by English class structure through the perception that the amateur had a higher station in life & was therefore a class apart from the professional. The great Yorkshire player Len Hutton was asked to go amateur if he wanted to captain Engl&. This book focuses on the final ten years of amateurism & the Gentlemen v Players fixture starting with Charles Williams own presence in the (amateur) Oxbridge teams that included future England captains such as Peter May Colin Cowdrey & MJK Smith & concluding with the abolition of amateurism in 1962 when all first-class players became professional. The amateur innings was duly declared closed. Charles Williams the author of a richly acclaimed biography of Donald Bradman was himself a first-class cricketer for Oxford University & Essex
- & an amateur. His vivid social history-cum-memoir looks at the attempt in post-war Britain to recreate a Golden Age one whose expiry exactly coincided with the beginnings of top-class one-day cricket & a cricket revolution.
