John Hugh "Jack" Phillipps CBE (born Auckland, 1 January 1898, died Wellington, New Zealand, 8 June 1977) was a New Zealand cricket administrator. He managed the New Zealand cricket team's tours of England in 1949 and 1958, and the MCC's tour of New Zealand in 1960-61.〔''Wisden'' 1978, p. 1080.〕 He served as a rifleman with the New Zealand forces in the First World War,〔(Auckland Museum website )〕 and in the Transport Corps in the Second World War as a lieutenant colonel, and was awarded the OBE in the 1946 New Year Honours.〔Julia Millen, ''Salute to Service: A History of the Royal New Zealand Corps of Transport and Its Predecessors'', Victoria University Press, Wellington, 1997, p. 423.〕 Of his management of the 1949 team, ''Wisden'' commented: "No more efficient or courteous manager of a touring side can be imagined than Mr J.H. Phillipps."〔Reg Hayter, "New Zealanders in England, 1949", ''Wisden'' 1950, p. 211.〕 He also played in the two-day match against Durham but did not bat or bowl.〔(Durham v New Zealanders 1949 )〕 A benefit match for him was played in Wellington in December 1956, between Wellington and "J.H. Phillipps' XI", a team of players from the 1949 touring team. It was regarded as a first-class match at the time but was later downgraded by the New Zealand authorities,〔(Wellington v J.H. Phillipps' XI 1956-57 )〕 perhaps because many of the Phillipps XI had by that time retired from first-class cricket.〔("Martin Donnelly – Summer sun on a winter's day" ) by Trevor Chesterfield on Cricinfo. Retrieved 10 July 2013.〕 He was promoted to CBE in the 1960 New Year Honours.〔(Supplement to the London Gazette, 1 January 1960, p. 42 ) Retrieved 10 July 2013.〕 On 5 July 1960 he was one of 63 administrators and former players from overseas countries to be invited to become honorary life members of the MCC.〔"M.C.C. Honour Overseas Cricketers", ''Wisden'' 1961, p. 553.〕 After the ill-will caused during the MCC's tour of New Zealand in 1958-59, an MCC tour of New Zealand by a young side of Test aspirants was organised for the 1960-61 season, captained by the diplomatic Dennis Silk and managed by Phillipps.〔(D.J. Cameron, "Obituary: Colin Cowdrey", ''New Zealand Herald'', 9 December 2000. ) Retrieved 12 July 2013.〕 His brief ''Wisden'' obituary described him as "a man universally loved and respected".〔''Wisden'' 1978, p. 1080.〕 ==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「Jack Phillipps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
