Reginald Addington Ingle, known as "Reggie", (born at Bodmin, Cornwall, on 5 November 1903 and died at Bath, Somerset on 19 December 1992) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1923 to 1939 and captained the side from 1932 to 1937. Ingle also played cricket for Cambridge University, but failed to win a blue. A right-handed middle-order batsman, Ingle was a regular player for 10 years in the Somerset side from 1927 to 1937, an era in which the county team was dominated by amateur cricketers. A member of a legal family from Bath, Ingle himself practised as a solicitor in the city and for much of the 1930s, the Somerset side had three Bath solicitors in its ranks, with Bunty Longrigg, Ingle's successor as captain, appearing alongside Dickie Burrough. ==Early life and cricket career== Ingle went to Oundle School, heading the school batting averages in 1921. He made his first-class debut for Somerset in a rain-ruined match against Essex at Taunton in August 1923. He made 54 in his first innings, one of only two Somerset players to make more than seven in a total of 189, and put on 97 for the sixth wicket with Jack MacBryan, who made 101. Ingle was at Cambridge University for the 1923 to 1926 seasons, but made little impact on cricket there. He did not play at all in 1923, was tried five times in 1924 and then fleetingly again in both 1925 and 1926, but in 15 innings for Cambridge he made only 138 runs, and was not picked for the University matches against Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 First-class Batting and Fielding for Each Team by Reggie Ingle )〕 In each season, though, once the university term was over he returned to play fairly regularly for Somerset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 First-class Matches Played by Reggie Ingle )〕 Ingle's development as a batsman was slow and his batting average hovered around the mid teens for the whole of the mid 1920s. In 1926, he made his first century, an unbeaten 119 against Essex at Taunton in which he shared four 50-run partnerships over the course of four hours. But without that century, his batting average for the season, including a couple of games for Cambridge, would have been less than 12. The innings remained the highest of his career, although he hit nine other first-class centuries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Reggie Ingle )〕 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「Reggie Ingle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
