Leonard Oakley (11 January 1916 – 1974) was an English cricketer who played eight first-class games for Worcestershire either side of the Second World War. Exclusively a bowler, in 14 innings he never scored more than 11. Oakley made his debut for Worcestershire against Middlesex at Worcester in late June 1935, taking the single wicket of Fred Price and scoring 6 and 0 from number ten. He played against Gloucestershire a few days later, taking one more wicket, and made two wicketless appearances in 1937, but those games comprised his entire remaining pre-war career. He returned to first-class action with a bang in June 1946, taking eight wickets against the Royal Air Force in what was to prove the RAF's last-ever first-class match. His first innings 2-18 and second-innings 6-64, which contributed largely towards his county's victory, were the only times he ever took more than two wickets in a first-class innings.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Worcestershire v Royal Air Force in 1946 )〕 However, two subsequent County Championship games brought Oakley only one wicket in total, and he played no more for two years. In June 1948, Oakley took 5-44 in each innings of a Second XI match against Glamorgan II,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Worcestershire Second XI v Glamorgan Second XI in 1948 )〕 and was recalled to the first team for the Championship match with Lancashire at Manchester a week later. However, he could manage only 1-71 from 17 overs, and he never played first-class cricket again. ==Notes== 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「Leonard Oakley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
