Dadabhoy Rustomji Havewala (sometimes spelt Havewalla) (27 November 1908 – 21 July 1982) was an Indian cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1934 to 1941. Havewala became famous in India before he played first-class cricket. In the final of the Times of India Shield in Bombay in December 1933, he scored 515 (with 32 sixes and 55 fours)〔''Wisden'' 1983, p. 1245.〕 as well as taking 11 wickets.〔(Bombay Baroda & Central India Railways v St Xavier's College, Mumbai 1933-34 )〕 It was the highest score in Indian cricket until 2013, when Prithvi Shaw made 546.〔(Prithvi Shaw's 546 lights up Harris Shield )〕 He made his first first-class century in 1935-36, playing for Bombay against Western India.〔(Bombay v Western India 1935-36 )〕 Earlier in the season he had scored 71 against the touring Australian side, prompting Charlie Macartney to write, "I have seldom seen finer hitting than that by Havewalla."〔''Wisden'' 1983, p. 1246.〕 He made another century in 1937-38 for Maharaja of Patiala's XI against the strong touring English team Lord Tennyson's XI〔(Maharaja of Patiala's XI Lord Tennyson's XI 1937-38 )〕 and was selected to play for India in the last two matches India played against Lord Tennyson's XI. He made 44 in the first match, India's second-top score in an innings victory.〔(India v Lord Tennyson's XI 1937-38 )〕 In later seasons his batting form declined and he played as a pace bowler. ==References== 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「Dadabhoy Havewala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
