About Errol Holmes
- Errol Reginald Thorold Holmes (21 August 1905 at Calcutta – 16 August 1960 in London), was a cricketer who played for Oxford University, Surrey and England. A dashing right-handed batsman, Holmes believed that cricket was to be enjoyed and was an important figure in restoring the reputation of English cricket after the Bodyline controversy of the early 1930s.
- He succeeded the Bodyline captain Douglas Jardine as captain of Surrey in 1934 and resolutely refused to use short-pitched bowling in county matches.
- He also captained the "goodwill" Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) non-Test tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1935–36.
