Phil Mead


 

Phil Mead (in full Charles Phillip Mead) was a left-handed batsman for Hampshire and England between 1905 and 1936. His exceptionally straight bat and quick footwork (surprising for a man of heavy build as he was) made him one of the most difficult batsmen to dismiss throughout his career. His mastery over the best county spin bowlers even on the most treacherous pitches is remarkable, but he could also be very good agains the fastest bowling because he could get closer into line than just about any batsman in cricket history.
