As a child, Petrie's affinity for the game was as evident as the gentle breeze sweeping through the summer air at his local club. A prodigious talent, he was a right-arm fast-medium bowler who could also hold a bat with a right-hand approach, making him an early standout in youth circuits.

Throughout his career, Harry Petrie made his mark with spellbinding performances in the County Championship—a cricket purist's delight. His epic tug-of-war encounters with rival bowlers, often described as on-field duels, became the stuff of local cricketing folklore. The highlight was a scintillating head-to-head against Sussex’s in-form batsman, a rivalry which spurred both players to elevate their games to astonishing heights.

Petrie’s playing style echoes the great tacticians of cricketing history; calculated, yet capable of unleashing explosive spells. His bowling technique, characterised by a fluid delivery and a knack for extracting movement from the pitch, made him a constant thorn in the side of batsmen.
