About Roger Harman

  • Roger Harman (born 28 December 1941 in Hersham) is a former English first-class cricketer.
  • He played with Surrey from 1961 until 1968 and also represented the International Cavaliers during this time. He played in four first-class matches in 1961 and in five the following year.
  • In 1963 he played in 13 fixtures, and took a hat-trick against Kent at Blackheath.
  • With Tony Lock having left Surrey, 1964 was Harman's first full season, and he took 136 wickets at 21.01.
  • His innings figures included 8/12 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge and 8/32 against Kent.
  • Towards the end of the season his spin partner was the seventeen-year-old off-spinner Pat Pocock. However he found the high expectations aroused by his success imposed enormous pressure on him, and from that point his performances declined.
  • He managed 63 wickets the following year, 50 in 1966 and only 18 in 1967, by which time he was no longer a first team regular. In 1968 he managed 48 wickets, largely thanks to a spinner-friendly pitch at Ilkeston, where he took 6 for 97 and 8 for 16 (including a hat-trick) against Derbyshire.
  • But four further appearances produced only two more wickets and he was not retained on Surrey's staff at the end of the season.
