Wisden Cricketer's Almanack 1993, 130th edition

Carr was the first of Wisden's guest reviewers of books.

Here's an extract:

I was a schoolboy when Nottinghamshire played Yorkshire at Headingley in 1932. My brother-in-law prophesised rain so we caught an early train back to Sherburn-in-Elmet. It didn't rain and Hedley Verity took ten wickets for ten runs; this blighted my youth.

Hedley Verity took 10 wickets for 10 runs on 12th July 1932 in the third and final day of the match at Headingley between Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. Carr was 20 years old and had spent the previous school year working as a teaching assistant before going to Dudley Training College in September 1932.
