Cricket Witness No 6 - His Captain's Hand on His Shoulder Smote

154 Acknowledgement As with my previous contribution to the ‘Cricket Witness’ series, Class Peace; an Analysis of Social Status and English Cricket, 1846-1962 , I am heavily indebted to the high level of expertise, diligence and heartening support of the series editor, Andrew Hignell, during the production of His Captain’s Hand , as well as John Winnifrith who acted as proof-reader. Thanks also to Malcolm Lorimer for assistance with illustrations, and to City Press for producing such a splendid volume.
