Harold Butler (cricketer)
Harold Butler was an English fastmedium bowler, who was the best bowler for Nottinghamshire during the period on either side of World War II. This period was one of major decline for the county, which fell from over fifty years near the top of the table to one of the lowerranked counties, largely because the pitches at Trent Bridge were placid in dry weather and recovered quickly after rain, so that the spin bowlers, upon whom most English counties relied in the 1940s, were practically helpless there. Cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, stated Butler was a burly swing bowler... had every reason to feel let down by England.
Harold James Butler was born in March 1913 in Clifton, Nottinghamshire.
