Harold James Rhodes (born 22 July 1936) is an English former international cricketer who played two Test matches for England in 1959.
He made his first-class debut for Derbyshire in the 1953 season when he played a single match against Oxford University, but began appearing regularly in the second eleven.
He began opening the county bowling with Les Jackson in the 1959 season after the retirement of Cliff Gladwin.
Although facing strong competition from bowlers such as Brian Statham and Fred Trueman, Rhodes might have expected to play many more Tests.
But doubts about the legality of his bowling action emerged, and in the 1960 season, playing for Derbyshire against the South Africans, he was "called" for throwing – bowling the ball with a bent arm that straightens in the delivery – by the umpire and former Test batsman, Paul Gibb.
Rhodes was then subjected to a long and detailed examination of his action by MCC committees; he was eventually cleared in 1968 when it was declared that he had a "hyper-extended arm".
He served as part-time coach of the German national team between 1996 and 2001, including at the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada.
