Inscription description
Australia VS. England / 1932 -1933 Ashes Series; floor plaque 1: “Down the mine I dreamed of cricket. I bowled imaginary balls in the dark / I sent the stumps spinning and heard them rattling in the tunnels. / No mishap was going to stop me from bowling in the real game, / especially this one”. – Harold Larwood; plaque 2 : Harold Larwood M.B.E, / Born: Nuncargate 1904 / Died: Sydney, Australia 1995 / Nottinghamshire and England Fast Bowler / Unveiled on 3rd June 2002 / by Councillor Glenis Thierry / Chairman of Ashfield District Council / Sculptor: Neale Andrew A.R.B.S; plaque 3: “We’re not a bad side…..and if we don’t beat you / we’ll knock your bloody blocks off”. Bill Voce; plaque 4: “Undoubtedly body-line was a reaction against the dominance of the bat / over the ball…But it was the wrong remedy. Killing the patient / is not the way to cure his disease” – Sir Donald Bradman
