Derwent Raoul Garrard (6 October 1897 – 14 June 1977) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Auckland from 1918 to 1942 and represented New Zealand in the days before New Zealand played Test cricket. ==Early life and career== Raoul Garrard was the elder son of Charles Garrard, a first-class cricketer and schoolteacher, and the brother of Wilson Garrard, who also played cricket for New Zealand. Raoul was a successful schoolboy cricketer in the Heathcote Williams Shield.〔''Auckland Star'', 15 February 1919, p. 18.〕 A leg-spinner who put "plenty of turn on the ball"〔''Free Lance'' (Wellington), 6 March 1919, p. 10.〕 and a useful lower-order batsman, Garrard made his first-class debut in 1917-18. In his third match, in 1918-19, he opened the bowling and took 6 for 143 and 5 for 84 in a high-scoring match against Wellington that Auckland won.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Wellington v Auckland 1918-19 )〕 In 1921-22 he was the leading bowler in the Plunket Shield, with 23 wickets in three matches at an average of 10.34.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Plunket Shield bowling averages 1921-22 )〕 He took 3 for 35 and 4 for 24 against Otago, 1 for 30 and 8 for 51 against Canterbury and 4 for 46 and 3 for 52 against Wellington. Auckland won all three matches, and the championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Plunket Shield 1921-22 )〕 He was selected to play for New Zealand in all three matches against MCC in 1922-23, but apart from top-scoring with 47 in the first innings of the first match he had little success with bat or ball.〔Don Neely & Richard Payne, ''Men in White: The History of New Zealand International Cricket, 1894–1985'', Moa, Auckland, 1986, pp. 61-64.〕 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「Raoul Garrard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
