Larwood, Harold (1904-1995), was an English cricket player who played for Nottinghamshire and England. He was the central figure in the bodyline controversy during the Marylebone Cricket Club tour of Australia in 1932 and 1933. Some people thought that Larwood played unfairly, because he bowled fast and straight at each batsman. The batsman was forced to play the ball or risk being hit by it, and was likely to be out to a catch. Larwood played in 21 Test matches. Larwood was born on Nov. 14, 1904, in Nuncargate, Nottinghamshire. He died on July 22, 1995.
