Harold Wyatt Monaghan (7 October 1886 – 15 October 1958) was a New Zealand first-class cricketer and a clergyman in the Anglican Church. ==Cricket career== Monaghan made his first-class debut for Wellington in 1905-06, when in two matches he took 14 wickets at an average of 9.71,〔(Harold Monaghan bowling by season )〕 including 5 for 42 and 4 for 53 in his second match against Auckland, when he opened the bowling with Ernest Upham.〔(Wellington v Auckland 1905-06 )〕 He took 7 for 95 when Wellington played Melbourne Cricket Club later in the season, and was selected to play for New Zealand later in the same tour, but took only one wicket, that of Warwick Armstrong. Both matches were non-first-class.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/7/Melbourne_Cricket_Club_in_New_Zealand_1905-06.html )〕 His 1906-07 season consisted of two matches for Wellington against the touring MCC. In the first match he took 7 for 50 in the first innings.〔(Wellington v MCC 1906-07 )〕 He continued to play for Wellington until 1910-11. He moved to Canterbury for the 1913-14 season, forming an opening-bowling partnership with George Wilson that enabled Canterbury to win all four of their Plunket Shield matches. Monaghan took 14 wickets at 17.92 in the Shield.〔(Plunket Shield bowling 1913-14 )〕 In the match against Auckland he scored 46 and 39, taking part in two batting partnerships with Wilson of 83 (for the tenth wicket) and 59 (for the ninth), as well as taking 2 for 46 and 3 for 73.〔(Canterbury v Auckland 1913-14 )〕 The former New Zealand captain Thomas Cobcroft thought that, apart from the Australian Tom McKibbin, Monaghan was the most difficult bowler he ever faced: "just as you had made your stroke to drive him, his ball would swing and drop suddenly. A great pity for New Zealand cricket that this promising bowler went out of the game so early."〔''New Zealand Truth'', 30 September 1922, p. 7.〕 Monaghan was 27 when he played his last first-class match. 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「Harold Monaghan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
