Joseph Hardstaff Jr (3 July 1911 – 1 January 1990)[1] was an English cricketer, who played in twenty three Test matches for England from 1935 to 1948. Hardstaff's father, Joe senior played for Nottinghamshire and England and his son, also named Joe, played first-class cricket as well.[2]
Cricket correspondent Colin Bateman remarked, "Hardstaff was one of the most artistic batsmen ever to set foot on a cricket field but he paid the high price of falling out with Gubby Allen".[1]
