John Hampshire

Overseas, he was a successful captain of Tasmania in the period before the state was included in the Sheffield Shield.

[6] He was also appointed President of Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 2016, serving until his death a year later.

[8] Hampshire made his debut for his native Yorkshire at the age of 20 in 1961,[9][4] and had a twenty-year career with the club.

[4][7] On his debut against the West Indies at Lord's, he made a dashing 107 and he appeared set for a glittering Test career.

[1] The two had previously clashed, and in the last season of Boycott's captaincy, Hampshire had staged a 'go-slow' at Northampton – which cost Yorkshire a bonus point – as a protest against slow batting by his long-time rival.

He left Yorkshire in 1981 during one of the county's then almost perennial bouts of civil war, and during the winter played for a Leicestershire team as a guest in Zimbabwe.

[11] Hampshire was a powerful stroke maker in the middle order, especially strong off the front foot.
