Matthew Henderson (2 August 1895 in Auckland – 17 June 1970 in Lower Hutt) was a cricketer who played for Wellington and New Zealand. Henderson was a left-arm fast-medium bowler and tail-end batsman who made his first-class debut for Wellington in 1921-22, taking 5 for 66 against Auckland in his second match.〔(Auckland v Wellington 1921-22 )〕 In the 1926-27 season he took 12 wickets in two matches at an average of 17.75,〔(Matt Henderson bowling by season )〕 including 6 for 70 against Auckland.〔(Auckland v Wellington 1926-27 )〕 He toured England with the 1927 team under Tom Lowry. No Tests were played on this tour. Henderson took 33 first-class wickets at 24.21, including 5 for 27 against the Civil Service〔(Civil Service v New Zealanders 1927 )〕 and 5 for 76 against Leicestershire,〔(Leicestershire v New Zealanders 1927 )〕 but his bowling, according to ''Wisden'', lacked direction.〔''Wisden'', 1928, page 451.〕 Henderson's only Test appearance was the first Test ever played by New Zealand, against the England team led by Harold Gilligan at Christchurch in January 1930, when he was 34. He dismissed Eddie Dawson with his first delivery〔(Wicket with first ball in Test cricket )〕 and later took the wicket of K. S. Duleepsinhji, the top scorer. But New Zealand lost in two days and he was replaced by his Wellington team-mate, the all-rounder Eddie McLeod. Henderson never played Test cricket again, and dropped out of first-class cricket in 1932 after three more games for Wellington. In a long career in Wellington club cricket he took 333 wickets at 21.90.〔''Wisden'', 1971, p. 1025.〕 ==References== 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「Matt Henderson (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
