Joe Hill's portrait of Harold Pinter: On its evidence, said Pinter, he should have opened for England
“Cricket was very much part of my life from the day I was born,” Harold Pinter once said, only partly joking. “There was a general feeling about cricket. In the 1930s the whole of England loved cricket, I think – that was my impression as a child, anyway, when I was six months old.”
