Biography
[edit]He was born in Finchley (Middlesex) in 1885 and educated at Rugby School.[1] He played cricket in the First XI at Rugby and made his first-class cricket debut for Kent in June 1904 against Nottinghamshire in the 1904 County Championship at Trent Bridge.[2][3]
Harrison played seven times for Kent in 1904 and 1905 and four times for Cambridge University in 1905 before making his Middlesex debut in the 1906 season.[1][2] He toured New Zealand in 1906/07 with an amateur MCC team,[1][4] playing in nine of the 11 first-class matches and a number of minor matches on the tour. He played in both matches against the New Zealand side, although these are not classed as Test matches.[5] He scored his maiden first-class century in the second match against Otago, 105 in 90 minutes.[6]
After gaining his cricket Blue in 1907, he played most frequently for Middlesex in 1908 and made 29 first-class appearances for the county in a career that ended in 1911. His highest score, 156 runs, came in his final first-class innings.[1]
Harrison died at Harrogate in Yorkshire in 1964 aged 78.[1]
