Review: … second is a slight, 20-page booklet by Dr. Dave Allen entitled Mike Barnard – Good at Games. Mike Barnard was a specialist batsman who played for Hampshire for fifteen years. He ended up with a First Class average of barely 22 with just six centuries to show from more than 270 matches. In the early part of his career, his winters were taken up at Portsmouth Football Club, which was on the decline after their glories in the immediate post-war seasons but was still a power in the land. Barnard’s is an interesting story well told and the booklet is available free of charge – please email us at info@cricketweb.net if you would like a note of the author’s address.
