Everything about Charlie Hallows totally explained
Charles Hallows (born
April 4,
1895 in
Little Lever, near
Bolton,
Lancashire, died
November 10,
1972 in
Bolton,
Lancashire) was a
cricketer who played for
Lancashire and
England.
A tall left-handed opening batsman, Hallows provided the attacking flair in the successful Lancashire side in the 1920s. In the
County Championship-winning years of 1927 and 1928, he was among the top half-dozen batsmen in England and his career average was more than 40 runs per innings. Yet he played only twice for England, once in 1921 and then again once in the inaugural
Tests against the
West Indies in 1928, scoring 42 runs in all and being dismissed only once.
In 1928, Hallows scored more than 1,000 runs
in the month of May, a feat previously achieved only by
W. G. Grace and
Walter Hammond and never since. He needed 232 runs to complete 1000 in his last innings in May. He made that score and was out the next ball. But within four years, he'd drifted out of the Lancashire team at the age of 37, taking up a series of professional appointments with league cricket clubs in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
He later became coach at
Worcestershire and then took up the same role at Lancashire, retiring at the age of 74 in 1969.
He was a
Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1928.
