James Sperry
James "Jim" Sperry (19 March 1910 – 21 April 1997) was an English cricketer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Player Profile: James Sperry )〕 He was a tail-end left-handed batsman and a left-arm fast-medium in-swing bowler who played first-class cricket for Leicestershire from 1937 to 1952. He was born in Thornton, Leicestershire and died there as well.
==Pre-war cricket==
Sperry was a miner at Bagworth colliery who was 27 before he appeared in major cricket. He made his first-class debut for Leicestershire in a single match in 1937 when he made little impression, failing to take a wicket and not being required to bat. In 1938, with the decline and imminent retirement of George Geary, who had been the mainstay of the bowling attack since before the First World War, Leicestershire gave Sperry an extended trial in the second half of the season and he responded with 27 wickets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 First-class Bowling in each Season by James Sperry )〕
The 1939 season was a very poor one for Leicestershire, who finished at the bottom of the County Championship, but ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' noted "notable advancement" by Sperry who, it said, often endured long spells of work". In all matches, he was the county's the biggest wicket-taker, with 78 wickets at an average of 23.88.〔 Leicestershire won only one match all season, and Sperry was at the heart of it: in the match against Hampshire, he took seven-second innings wickets for 19 runs, to give match figures of 10 for 71 – the innings figures would remain the best of his career. After the game, Sperry was presented with the ball, inscribed by the Leicestershire County Club committee; he was also awarded his county cap in the 1939 season.〔
