Bertie Clarke
Dr Carlos Bertram (Bertie) Clarke, OBE (7 April 1918 in Lakes Folly, Cats Castle, St Michael, Barbados – 14 October 1993 in Putney, London, England) was a West Indian cricketer who played in three Tests in 1939. During the war when three-day cricket was an impossibility due to the demands of labour for the military, Clarke was the leading bowler for the British Empire XI which played one-day matches across the country. He took 98 wickets for 11.48 runs apiece in 1941〔Whitaker, Haddon (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'', Seventy-Eighth Edition (1942), p. 142〕 and bettered this with 129 for 10.17 apiece in 1942.〔Whitaker, Haddon (editor); ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'', Seventy-Ninth Edition (1943), p. 156〕
A fine leg-spinner, he was for a time a guest of the Queen, after which, according to an admiring Leo Cooper, he returned “the same as ever and continued to weave his spells over a host of club cricketers”.〔Leo Cooper, introduction to ''Odd Men In'', p. viii.〕
After the war, Clarke played frequently though not regularly for Northamptonshire in 1946 and 1947, and much later for Essex in 1959 and 1960.
