Lucius Henry Gwynn (5 May 1873 in County Donegal, Ireland – 23 December 1902 in Davos-Platz, Switzerland〔(Cricket Archive profile )〕) was an Irish rugby union player and cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman.〔 ==Playing career== Primarily noted for his bowling prowess during early outings with the Dublin University XI, Gwynn took 44 wickets at an average of 8.14 in Trinity's annus mirabilis of 1893, a season which witnessed victories over Leicestershire, Oxford University, Warwickshire (dismissed for a paltry total of 15 runs) and a draw against Essex.〔''Ireland's 100 Cricket Greats'' by Gerard Siggins, James Fitzgerald.〕 Gwynn, who recorded the highest first class average (56.87) amongst those batsmen who completed ten innings or more during the English season of 1895,〔(First-class batting averages in England in 1895 at Cricket Archive )〕 enjoyed another remarkably productive season in 1896, plundering over a thousand runs in Trinity flannels, a superlative effort complemented by a haul of 93 wickets at 9.37.〔 Gwynn's irrepressible form reputedly earned him an invitation to represent England against Australia in the second Ashes Test at Old Trafford in July 1896. However, concurrent university examinations rendered Gwynn unable to participate.〔(History of Dublin University Cricket Club )〕 Instead, English cricket was introduced to the wizardry of K.S. Ranjitsinhji, who took Gwynn's place.〔 He made his debut for Ireland against I Zingari in July 1892 and went onto play for Ireland 13 times, his last game coming in May 1902 against the MCC.〔(CricketEurope Stats Zone profile )〕 Two of his matches for Ireland had first-class status.〔(First-class matches played by Lucius Gwynn at Cricket Archive )〕 He also played first-class cricket in two Gentlemen v Players matches, representing the gentlemen, and four matches for Dublin University in 1895,〔 for whom he made his top score of 153 not out〔(First-class batting for each team by Lucius Gwynn at Cricket Archive )〕 against Leicestershire.〔(First-class batting record against each opponent by Lucius Gwynn at Cricket Archive )〕 In all, he amassed 3,195 runs and 311 wickets for Dublin University,〔 in addition to 499 runs and 14 wickets for Ireland.〔 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「Lucius Gwynn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
