Arthur Percival Day (10 April 1885 at Blackheath, Kent – 22 January 1969 at Budleigh Salterton, Devon), was a cricketer who played for Kent during the period of the county's greatest success in the County Championship. ==Career== A right-handed middle-order batsman and a bowler who could bowl both fast-medium and leg breaks, Day scored 1,149 runs in his very first season of first-class cricket in 1905, but played only around half the county's matches in each of the next three seasons. In 1909, he again played a full season and, with just over 1,000 runs at an average of more than 44 runs per innings, he was an important part of a Championship winning side. He was rewarded by being named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in the 1910 edition of The Almanack. From 1910 to 1914, though, Day went back to appearing in only around half the county matches, though he was evidently well thought of, as he was picked in both 1912 and 1914 for the matches between the MCC touring teams and the "Rest of England". In 1911, he hit an unbeaten 100 in 55 minutes against Hampshire at Southampton. After the First World War he played very seldom, but in 1921 he hit his highest score, an unbeaten 184 against Sussex at Tonbridge, and averaged 111 runs per innings for the season. He retired after a couple of matches in 1925. His brothers Sammy and Sydney also played for Kent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Day (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
