Early Years
Bartlett was born in Balaghat, India and moved to England at the age of nine. He captained Dulwich College for three seasons. In 1933 - his last season for the school - he hit two double hundreds in successive weeks and set a Dulwich record of 228 against Mill Hill ( the record stood until 2006, when Arthur Mitchell hit 230* at a lower age group ). He won blues at Cambridge for three years and in 1936 captained them in the Varsity match. After a few matches with Surrey, he settled down as an amateur at Sussex.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Well, it’s early yet!”
—Robert Pirosh, U.S. screenwriter, George Seaton, George Oppenheimer, and Sam Wood. Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx)
“The years of imprisonment hardened me.... Perhaps if you have been given a moment to hold back and wait for the next blow, your emotions wouldn’t be blunted as they have been in my case. When it happens every day of your life, when that pain becomes a way of life, I no longer have the emotion of fear. ... there is no longer anything I can fear. There is nothing the government has not done to me. There isn’t any pain I haven’t known.”
—Winnie Mandela (b. 1936)
