Lives in Cricket No 26 - HV Hesketh-Prichard

ABOUT THE AUTHOR After the University of Keele, dabbling in technical authorship and lecturing in liberal studies, Simon Sweetman has spent his working life in tax, first for Her Majesty and then as an adviser, and indeed continues to do so. He also writes about tax, normally these days for Accountingweb. Since early 2007 he has been the editor of The Cricket Statistician . Born a Hampshire supporter, and being of a certain age, he remembers most fondly the 1961 Championship win and as a result sees no problem with Old Etonians captaining cricket teams, while not seeing them as capable of much else.
