Arthur Wellard
Arthur William Wellard (8 April 1902 in Southfleet, Kent – 31 December 1980 in Eastbourne, Sussex) was a cricketer who played for Somerset and England. A late starter in county cricket, having been told by his native county, Kent, that he would be better off taking up a career as a policeman, Wellard played on into his late 40s. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1936.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Player Profile:Arthur Wellard )〕
Wellard was a fast-bowling all-rounder who exemplified much of the happy-go-lucky cricket played by Somerset in the 1930s. Despite a first-class batting average of only 19.72, he was famous for the number of sixes he hit, with over 500 in his career, accounting for a quarter of his runs.〔 He was for many years the holder of the record number of sixes in a single season, with 72 in 1935. But Wellard as a fast bowler was good enough to be picked twice for England, against New Zealand in 1937 and against the Australians in 1938, and his 1,614 career wickets put him 63rd on the all-time bowling lists.
==Career==
Wellard's first-class debut came at the age of 25 for Somerset against the touring New Zealanders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First-Class Matches played by Arthur Wellard )〕 A further tourists match against the West Indians followed the following season,〔 but he was unable to appear in the County Championship until he was qualified in 1929.〔 He took 125 wickets in his maiden season in the tournament, finishing behind only Jack White in the club's tally for the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bowling for Somerset in County Championship 1929 )〕 He took ten wickets in a match for the first time during his fourth County Championship match for Somerset against the visiting Kent side, with figures of 6/108 & 4/28.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Somerset v Kent )〕 He took five-wicket hauls in four out of five innings at the beginning of June 1929, with five in the only innings against Derbyshire,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Derbyshire v Somerset )〕 six in the first innings against Leicestershire,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leicestershire v Somerset )〕 and another six in the first innings followed by five in the second innings when Gloucestershire visited Taunton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Somerset v Gloucestershire )〕
Wellard played county cricket with Boss Meyer, the founder of Millfield School. Meyer was a well known eccentric and allegedly in 1947, Wellard who was even older than Meyer, was bowling rather well, when Northamptonshire batsman Dennis Brookes played a false stroke through the slips which Meyer, too crippled by lumbago to bend down, failed to catch. Meyer reached into his back pocket and said, "Sorry Arthur, here's a quid."
