Frederick ("Freddie") Somerset Gough Calthorpe (27 May 1892 – 19 November 1935), styled The Honourable from 1912, was an English cricketer. Born in London, Calthorpe ("pronounced with the first syllable rhyming with 'tall' and not with 'shall'")〔Rowland Ryder, ''Cricket Calling'', Faber & Faber, London, 1995, p. 113.〕 played for Sussex, Cambridge University, Warwickshire and England. He captained England in his only four Test matches: on the first ever Test tour of the West Indies in 1929-30, which was drawn 1–1. This tour was played simultaneously to another England Test tour to New Zealand, where England were captained by Harold Gilligan. His first-class career extended from 1911 to 1935. He captained Warwickshire from 1920 to 1929, and also led a strong MCC team on a tour of the West Indies in 1925-26. He died of cancer〔Ryder, p. 114.〕 in Worplesdon, Surrey. Calthorpe was a member of the Gough-Calthorpe family, the son of Somerset Frederick Gough-Calthorpe, the 8th Baron Calthorpe. He is distantly related to the cricket commentator Henry Blofeld, and more closely to the England captain H. D. G. Leveson Gower and the early cricket patron John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/henry-blofeld-nephew-of-an-england-captain-217019 )〕 ==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「Freddie Calthorpe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
