(‘Dick’) Neat and efficient Warwickshire wicket-keeper who held the position of England’s gloveman from 1896 to 1909 and made useful runs down the order. In 35 Tests he came close to the wicket-keeper’s Test double, making 92 dismissals (70 catches, 22 stumpings) and scoring 903 runs at 20.52. LOCKWOOD, William Medium-fast bowler with a sharp off-cutter who had an interrupted career due to loss of form and family tragedy in the 1890s, but who regained his skill and captured 11 wickets for 76 against Australia at Old Trafford in 1902. In 12 Tests he took 43 wickets at 20.55. LOHMANN, George Brilliant, versatile Surrey medium-pace bowler and outstanding slip fielder, who toured Australia three times from 1886 to 1892, and South Africa in 1895-96 when he captured 35 wickets in three Tests at 5.80. In 18 Tests he took 112 wickets at the phenomenal average of 10.75. He died in South Africa of tuberculosis in 1901 at the age of 36. LUCAS, A.P.

MASON, Jack Amateur all-rounder and Kent captain whose record with both bat (average 12.90) and ball (average 74.50) was disappointing in his five Test matches. MEAD, Philip Left-hand Hampshire batsman, the fourth-highest run scorer in first-class cricket history, yet little used at Test level where his 17 games in 17 years (1911-28) yielded 1,185 runs at 49.37 with four centuries. MEAD, Walter Essex slow-medium and off-break bowler had a productive county career for nearly twenty years, but whose single Test in 1899 yielded just one wicket.

POUGHER, Dick Leicestershire all-rounder who took 5 for 0 with his medium-pace off-breaks for the MCC against Australia at Lord’s in 1896, and whose only Test at Cape Town in 1891-92 saw him gather three low-cost wickets. QUAIFE, William Tiny, defensive Warwickshire batsman and leg-break bowler who had a 34-year county career but appeared in just seven Test matches with an average of 19.00. RANJITSINHJI, K.S. Legendary, inventive Indian batsman who made a century in his first Test, at Old Trafford in 1896, and was the best batsman for England between W.G. Grace and Jack Hobbs. Averaged 44.95 in 15 Test matches with two centuries. Later became Jam Sahib of Nawanagar.
