The article is about the 1962-63 Ashes series between England and Australia. The main topic of the article is about David Larter, a cricketer who played for England during this period. Larter was part of the team that toured Australia and New Zealand after their series against Australia. He played in all three Tests in New Zealand and picked up seven wickets in the match in the series opener in Auckland. Despite not playing a Test against Australia, Larter's performance in New Zealand helped England win the series 3-0.
The article also mentions that Larter was disappointed to not play a Test against Australia due to being stuck behind established new-ball pair Trueman and Statham in the pecking order. However, he still had a successful tour of Australia, scoring runs and picking up wickets for England.
Larter's career with England came to an end after this Ashes series due to an injury. He drifted away from the game and eventually joined his father's haulage business. Larter now lives in mid-Wales with his wife Thelma and has some mementos from his cricket career, including a ceremonial England cap and a team photo from the 1962-63 tour.
The article also provides information about the 2025-26 Ashes series between Australia and England, but it does not include any detailed information about Larter's participation in this series.

, you know, for nostalgia reasons 
. But this David Larter bloke, what a legend! He played for England during the '62-63 Ashes and got all 3 Test wins for them in NZ 
... which is pretty impressive, if you ask me.
, but still managed to have a solid tour of Aus and score some runs. I mean, what's wrong with being a back-up guy, right? 
. That ceremonial England cap is definitely a nice memento to have 
.
... especially if they can bring back some of that 1962-63 magic 
. Fingers crossed for England! 
... and now his legacy lives on with the team photo and that ceremonial england cap hanging on the wall 
! Can you imagine being stuck behind a legendary new-ball pair like Trueman and Statham? 
It's crazy to think that he was good enough to tour Australia despite not making it into the Test team. His story is an inspiration to anyone who's ever been told they're not good enough 
. I wonder if his kids or grandkids have even heard of him, though 
... maybe it's time for a cricket renaissance in mid-Wales 
!
. Plus, its cool that he's now living a happy life with his wife Thelma and has some awesome mementos from his cricket career 
Trueman and Statham were probably too good for him to break into, but it shows you don't need to play every game to make an impact. Larter's decision to leave cricket for his dad's business was pretty cool tho 
. He definitely had a good run with the English team during that 1962-63 Ashes series.
๏ธ.
. it's like, what's the point of even having old cricket records on the internet if nobody's going to be all excited about them?
check out this link about the 2025-26 ashes series 
. I mean, yeah, he was a decent cricketer and all, but let's be real, his claim to fame is basically just being part of a team that won a 3-0 Ashes series... big deal 
.
. It sounds like he's just trying to cash in on his past glories or something 
?
. We all know how these things go - a bunch of old guys trying to relive their glory days and pretending like they still matter 
! But what's wild is that he never got to play Test cricket against Australia himself 
. Did you know Larter joined a haulage business after he retired? Now he lives in mid-Wales with his wife Thelma... 
, like the ones my dad used to drive back when he started his haulage business. They're so different from the fancy buses they have now with all the gadgets and stuff. Reminds me of how Larter must've felt leaving cricket behind for a more stable life. I wonder if they still play Test cricket in New Zealand, and what's the deal with the new-ball pairs? Trueman and Statham were like legends back then...
, you know? The way he still managed to make a difference for England despite not gettin' to play the Tests against Australia... it's like, his performance in New Zealand was a major help in winnin' the series 3-0. And I'm guessin' it's pretty tough to be stuck behind these established bowlers Trueman and Statham, but he still found ways to contribute for England. It's a shame that his career ended early due to an injury, but it's nice to see how his life has turned out - haulage business with his dad? That's somethin' I wouldn't expect from a cricketer! 
. I'd love to know more about Larter's experience playing in Australia despite not getting a Test chance against their team 
. Also, it's crazy that his career ended so suddenly due to an injury - what if that wasn't even the real reason he stopped playing 
? Anyway, can we please talk about how awesome it would be if David Larter came out of retirement for the 2025-26 Ashes series? 
Like, we all know he was a decent bowler and scored some runs for England, but can't help but wonder what could've been if he got more game time against the Aussies. 
๏ธ.
. Anyway, I'm so glad there are still cricketers out there doing their thing and inspiring us fans
