High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Harding Isaac "Sailor" Young (February 5, 1876, Leyton, Essex December 12, 1964, Rochford, Essex) was a cricketer who played for Essex and England. Young was a left-arm medium-pace bowler and a capable lower-order batsman. His bowling achieved considerable turn off the wicket, and was described in Wisden as having "a deceptive curl". Young's cricketing successes in minor matches led Essex to buy him out of the Royal Navy. He played a few games in 1898, but came to prominence early the following year, when he took eleven wickets for 74 runs against a powerful Australian touring side and gave Essex a surprising victory by 126 runs.
