When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease
"When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease" is a track on the Roy Harper album ''HQ'', a prominent example of cricket poetry. Released as a single twice, in 1975 and 1978, it is possibly Harper's best-known song. The song captures the atmosphere of a village cricket match and is an elegy to the game as played during Harper's youth. Featuring Harper's 12-string acoustic guitar backed by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, it was arranged by David Bedford.
On his website, Harper talks of the track as being one of the highlights of the ''HQ'' album;
My childhood memories of the heroic stature of the footballers and cricketers of the day invoke the sounds that went along with them. Paramount among these was the traditional Northern English brass band, which was a functional social component through all four seasons, being seen and heard in many different contexts. My use of that style of music on 'Old Cricketer' is a tribute to those distant memories."〔(Roy Harper Official Site )〕
