Jason Lewry (born 2 April 1971) is an English former cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm fast-medium bowler.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jason Lewry )〕 Born in Worthing, he played for Sussex from the beginning of his career in 1994 until his retirement in 2009, a career spanning 16 years, in spite of numerous injuries. == Career == Lewry began his first-class career at Sussex in 1994, and spent his whole career with Sussex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jason Lewry )〕 He had been successful for Goring Cricket Club in 1993, and had also played for the Duchess of Norfolk's XI against the MCC at Arundel Castle.〔 In 1996, he played for a "Rest of England" side in 1996,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Home of CricketArchive )〕 and was a possibility for the 1996 England A tour, until he suffered an injury—later diagnosed as a stress fracture in his back. Lewry did not bowl for 22 months, and missed the entire 1997 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CRICKET: It )〕 Lewry returned to cricket in 1998, and in a match against Gloucestershire, he took a hat-trick with deliveries in two innings.〔 He took the wicket of Mike Smith to end Gloucestershire's first innings, and then with the first two balls of their second innings, he took the wickets of Nick Trainor and Dominic Hewson, to complete his hat-trick. He took 60 Championship wickets in the season,〔 and in 1998/99 was selected for an England A tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe. Lewry played two matches, against Zimbabwe Cricket Union President's XI,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Home of CricketArchive )〕 and Zimbabwe A,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Home of CricketArchive )〕 but was forced to return to England early, due to a troublesome shoulder that required surgery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry faces injury misery )〕 On the tour, Lewry had also suffered knee problems and food poisoning.〔 He never played for England teams again, and when fellow left-armer Ryan Sidebottom was chosen ahead of him for the England team in 2001, this signalled the end of his international career.〔 In 1999, Lewry discussed the possibility of a move with Nottinghamshire and Hampshire, but ultimately stayed at Sussex.〔 In 2001, Lewry took seven wickets in 14 balls in a County Championship match against Hampshire. It was the best County Championship bowling since 1971, when Pat Pocock took 7 wickets in 11 balls,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry on song for Sussex )〕 and in the process, Lewry became the first Sussex player for 20 years to take a hat-trick at Hove, and achieved his career-best match figures of 13–79.〔 Lewry was given a Benefit Year by Sussex in 2002,〔 and in 2003, Lewry took 8/106 in the County Championship title-deciding match, as Sussex won their first title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry has no regrets after 16 happy years )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry's pace inspires Sussex as antidote to huge hangover )〕 He played every Championship game in 2003, taking 42 wickets.〔 In 2004, Lewry was the third wicket as Dimitri Mascarenhas took the first hat-trick in Twenty20 cricket.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Magic Twenty20 moments )〕 He took 40 wickets in 2005, but missed the last six matches due to a groin injury.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry back to full fitness )〕 He returned to the side for the 2006 season,〔 and was part of the side that won the Championship that season, and also in 2007.〔 From 2004, Lewry played fewer List A matches, playing only seven times between 2004 and 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewry offered one-year deal by Sussex )〕 Lewry was the leading wicket-taker in the 2008 County Championship,〔 taking 41 wickets.〔 For the 2009 season, he signed a contract only to play Championship matches, saying "I have only played seven games since 2004 so I have effectively retired from one-day cricket anyway" and "I want to play on and prolong my career. I certainly wouldn’t go anywhere else – I’m Sussex through and through."〔 After the 2009 season, in which he took 10 wickets,〔 Lewry announced his retirement from first-class cricket;〔 He had hinted at retirement many times since 2005,〔 so much so that his hints at retirement "have become something of a joke in Sussex".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cricket: Lewry gives Sussex advantage )〕 Lewry actually retired this time. He went to play for Goring Cricket Club, the team that he had left in 1994 to join Sussex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Comment: Lewry was one of the best )〕 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「Jason Lewry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
