Kannayiram was educated at Madras Christian College.〔(Some Outstanding Alumni of the College ) Retrieved 3 December 2014.〕 A middle-order batsman and opening bowler, he captained the Madras University cricket team in the Rohinton Baria Trophy in 1948-49 and 1949-50〔(Matches played by Madras University )〕 and represented Indian Universities in first-class matches against the Commonwealth XI in 1949-50 and MCC in 1951-52. In 1948-49, in his first match for Madras, he took his best figures, 6 for 43, against Bombay in a quarter-final of the Ranji Trophy. He was the seventh bowler tried, and took the last six wickets of the innings, dismissing Bombay for 433 after they had been 377 for 4.〔(Madras v Bombay 1948-49 )〕 In 1951-52 he took 6 for 59 against Mysore〔(Madras v Mysore 1951-52 )〕 and a few days later made his highest score, 56 not out, playing for South Zone against the touring MCC.〔(South Zone v MCC 1951-52 )〕 He replaced Gopalaswamy Kasturirangan in the side to tour the West Indies after Kasturirangan and four others withdrew from the originally selected side.〔Sujit Mukherjee, ''Playing for India'', Orient Longman, New Delhi, 1988, p. 60.〕 He played only three of the first-class matches, scoring 44 runs and taking two wickets.〔"India in West Indies, 1953", ''Wisden'' 1954, pp. 820-34. He is referred to as "M. Kannaiyaram".〕 After the tour he played seven more matches for Madras over the next four seasons. When the Madurai District Cricket Association was formed in 1958, Kannayiram was appointed as its first secretary.〔(History of MDCA ) Retrieved 3 December 2014.〕 The trophy for the fourth division "A" section of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association is named the "N. Kannayiram Shield" in his honour. ==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「N. Kannayiram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
