The Honourable John Bonynge Coventry (9 January 1903 – 4 July 1969) was an English cricketer who played 75 times in first-class cricket for Worcestershire between 1919 and 1935, captaining the county for the latter part of the 1929 and the whole of the 1930 seasons, although he played in only July and August of the latter year. ==Early career== Born in Westminster, Coventry was educated at Eton and Oxford,〔 Obituary. ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' 1970.〕 although he did not gain a blue at university.〔 He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire in August 1919 against HK Foster's XI, taking the wickets of Sidney Freeman and Howard Battersea but being dismissed for nought in his only innings.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v HK Foster's XI in 1919 )〕 The following season Worcestershire rejoined the County Championship and Coventry played three matches, all in August, taking six wickets — the most he was to achieve in a single season〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=First-class Bowling in Each Season by John Coventry )〕 — including the wickets of both Percy Holmes and Herbert Sutcliffe in the same innings of the match against Yorkshire.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Yorkshire v Worcestershire in 1920 )〕 For the next two seasons Coventry played little first-class cricket — though in 1922 he made his highest score, 86 against Derbyshire〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Derbyshire in 1922 )〕 — but in 1923 he made 18 appearances, scoring 544 runs and making two more half-centuries.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=First-class Batting and Fielding in Each Season by John Coventry )〕 A poor 1924 followed, in which he managed just 220 runs in 11 innings,〔 and after a few matches in 1925 he dropped out of the side completely, a mere half-dozen games in 1927 being his only first-class contributions for the next three years. 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「John Coventry (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
