	Hedley Verity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hedley Verity (born 18 May 1905 in Headingley, Leeds, died 31 July 1943 in Caserta, Italy) was an England cricketer.
		Verity did not play first-class cricket until the age of 25, largely because of the imposing presence in the Yorkshire side of Wilfred Rhodes, despite the fact that Rhodes was by that time well into his fifties.
		Verity made an immediate impact in first-class cricket, topping the English bowling averages in his very first season, as he was to do again in his final year, 1939.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Hedley Verity
		Verity never allowed the opinion that Bradman was less than a master on damaged pitches, refusing to stress the evidence of his own triumph at Lord's in 1934 (Bradman c and b Verity 36; c Ames b Verity 13) and referring to Bradman's two innings of 59 and 43 in 1938 against Yorkshire at Sheffield.
		As an all-round fielder, Verity was no more than sound, but to his own bowling, or at backward point, he sometimes touched brilliance; and there sticks in the memory the catch that he made at Lord's in 1938, when McCabe cut one from Farnes crack from the bat's middle.
		A casual observer might have mistaken Verity for Sutcliffe a little out of form, for he seemed to have caught something of that master's style and gesture, and, like Sutcliffe, he could be clean bowled in a manner that somehow exonerated the batsman from all guilt.

	[minstrels] Verity -- Drummond Allison
		[Verity Bio] A wonderfully gifted left-arm spin bowler, Hedley Verity was born in the shadow of Headingley in 1905 and died from his wounds in a prisoner-of-war hospital camp in Caserta, Italy, during the Second World War at the age of 38.
		It seems strange to think that Verity was originally turned down by Yorkshire at trials in 1926, but he was eventually given a chance by the county in 1930 and, of course, became a fixture until the start of the war.
		Verity was never going to get close - Hitler saw to that - but he did turn out for Yorkshire 278 times and in that time he produced some remarkable bowling analyses.

		Verity improved his bowling figures from 1 for 24 at the end of second day’s play to 7 for 61 as Australia was bowled out for 284 and forced to follow on.
		Verity’s first class debut came very late at an age of 25 years in 1930 when Bradman was making his first tour of England.
		In the 18 Ashes tests that were played during Verity’s test career span, Bradman did not play in the first test at Sydney of the Body-line series and Verity did not play in the 5th test at The Oval in 1938 in which Bradman too could not bat as he was absent hurt.

	Cricinfo - The last gallant steps of Hedley Verity
		In Verity's pocket on that coach was the military training manual that had been with him for more than a year, since, in fact, a talk with D. Jardine, one of his firmest friends, had convinced him of the need for preparation.
		Verity's company led the attack on the German strong point on July 19, 1943, and at his home at Bridlington after the war when he had been returned to England from a P.O.W. camp in Austria, Rennoldson told me of it: `We were up against it and we went right into it.
		Abe Waddington, who had bowled for Yorkshire in the decade before Verity's, was with them on the rush by car to Caserta, and it was his Yorkshire tie, with the white rose on blue, that was left on the stone so white under the Italian sun.

	Verity's match
		But Verity will always be remembered for his Lord's performance that fetched him 15 wickets for 104 — all but one of them amazingly on the final day when Australia lost 18 wickets in all.
		All that was to change for the bowler at Lord's, though once again Bradman failed with scores of 36 and 13, Verity claiming his wicket in both innings.
		Verity, bowling round the wicket, had figures of 22.3-8-43-8, including six in the final hour and England had squared the series.

	Spinners who always did Yorkshire a good turn
		Hedley verity Hedley Verity, one of the long line of great Yorkshire left-arm spinners, was one of the sporting world's most high-profile casualties of the Second World War.
		As a bowler of close to medium-pace, Verity was the successor to the great Wilfred Rhodes, whose shoes he filled with remarkable aplomb.
		Although he did not break into the team until he was 25, Verity took 188 wickets at 13.13 in his first full season and developed into one of the finest bowlers of the 1930s.

	Monty and the legends
		Or how the 21st century professional would like long sea voyages, no communication with home for six months at a time except by post and a rigid class structure that gave the amateurs their own dressing room, a different gate and the belief that they should be addressed as "sir" by the common herd.
		Peel, Rhodes, Verity, Wardle, Edmonds, Tufnell and Giles had much in common not least that after long, hot, dusty days around the world they won Tests and found glory briefly from an art form that has hardly changed since the first Test in 1877.
		If Panesar joins that group in the next couple of months it will probably mean England have won a series in India for the first time since David Gower led his side to a 2-1 victory in 1984-5 after a trip marked by violence, disruption and thousands of deaths.
