Edwin St Hill
Edwin Lloyd St Hill (9 March 1904 – 21 May 1957) was a Trinidadian cricketer who played two Test matches for the West Indies in 1930. His brothers, Wilton and Cyl, also played for Trinidad; in addition, the former played Test matches for the West Indies. St Hill first played local cricket in Trinidad with some success and graduated to the Trinidad team. He played regularly for the next five years but was not selected for any representative West Indian teams. His increased success in 1929 attracted the attention of the West Indies selectors, and he played two Test matches against England in 1930. Although not particularly successful, he bowled steadily and was chosen to tour Australia with the West Indies in 1930–31. He was fairly effective in first-class games but the form of the other fast bowlers in the team meant that he was not chosen for any of the Test matches.
By the time the tour was over, St Hill had signed a contract to play professional cricket in the Lancashire League in England for Lowerhouse Cricket Club. Playing as an all-rounder, he performed relatively well with bat and ball for three seasons from 1931 to 1933. He then played as a professional in several leagues, including the Huddersfield and Bradford leagues. During the Second World War, he joined the British Army and took part in the Dunkirk evacuation before returning to England; he resumed his league career and played many wartime charity games. He died in Manchester, aged 53.
==Early life and career==
St Hill was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1904, and according to the writer C. L. R. James, his family were lower middle-class.〔James, p. 87.〕 His brothers, Wilton and Cyl played cricket for Trinidad; in addition, the former played Test matches for the West Indies.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/52951.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/53097.html )〕 St Hill first played in the Bonanza Cup, Trinidad's main cricket competition, for a club called Durban Cricket Club in 1922; critics judged him to be promising, but he had little success. The following year, he moved to play for Shannon. Cricket in Trinidad at the time was divided along racial lines.〔 Shannon was a club associated with black lower middle-class players such as teachers or clerks.〔James, p. 50.〕 The team contained many strong bowlers, and St Hill opened the bowling.〔James, p. 54.〕
St Hill's success with Shannon was noticed by the regional selectors, and in 1924 he progressed to the Trinidad team;〔 he made his first-class debut against British Guiana in the Inter-Colonial Tournament on 14 February 1924. He opened the bowling with his Shannon team-mate, Learie Constantine, and took six wickets in the match.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/11/11045.html )〕 He played in the next game, the final of the tournament against Barbados, and took a further five wickets in the game, but his team lost. Over the following five years, he played regularly for Trinidad, and bowled with success for Shannon.〔 He took four for 99 in an innings against British Guiana but otherwise did not take more than three wickets in an innings until the 1929–30 season, and after scoring 35 in his second game, he did not pass 20 runs in an innings. Apart from two games for Trinidad against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) touring team in 1926, all his games came for Trinidad in the Intercolonial Tournament.〔 He was overlooked for the representative West Indies team to play the MCC in 1926, several bowlers being ahead of him in terms of selection. Neither was he selected for any of the trial games held to assist in choosing a team in 1928;〔 that year, a West Indies team, including his brother Wilton, toured England and played its first Test matches. Instead, St Hill, between June and August 1928, took part in a tour of the United States by a "West Indian XI", playing mainly against teams of expatriate West Indians.〔 He was very successful, taking over 100 wickets at a low cost.〔
