About Roly Jenkins
- Roly Jenkins (sometimes spelt Roley) (24 November 1918 – 22 July 1995) was an English cricketer, almost exclusively for Worcestershire as a leg spinner in the period immediately after World War II.
- Along with Doug Wright and Eric Hollies, Jenkins was a star of the last generation of English leg-spinners before a more defensive mindset, followed by the advent of one-day cricket, all but killed off home grown wrist spinners. Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "true to the leg-spinner's image, Roly Jenkins was one of the game's great characters and entertainers whose performances ebbed and flowed with how the mood took him.
- in an era when wrist-spinners flourished, Roly was one of the bigger spinners of the ball, if not always the most accurate".
