Mike Mitchell (cricketer)
Richard Arthur Henry ("Mike") Mitchell (born 22 January 1843 at Enderby Hall, Leicester; died 19 April 1905 at Mayford House, Woking, Surrey), widely known as "Mike" Mitchell,〔 was an English schoolmaster and amateur cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1861 to 1883 and supervised the Eton cricket team for more than thirty years.
==Life==
Mitchell was educated at Eton and played for the school cricket team from 1858 to 1861, being captain in the latter year. From Eton he went to Balliol College, Oxford to read modern history.〔 As a cricketer he won a Blue in all four years at the university, and was the Oxford captain for all but his first year.〔 While he was in his third year at Balliol, his father suffered financial ruin, and Mitchell had the unexpected task of finding a livelihood. He switched courses from history to classics and secured a second-class honours degree which enabled him to gain appointment as a master at Eton in 1866, remaining there until compelled by ill-health to retire in 1901.〔"Mr. R. A. H. Mitchell", ''The Times'', 20 April 1905, p. 8〕 Between 1866 and 1897 he was the principal adviser and coach of the school's cricket team. He was a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Committee from 1902 until his death three years later.〔(CricketArchive ).〕 A later Eton master, G. W. Lyttleton, who as a schoolboy had played cricket under Mitchell's supervision, considered him a philistine housemaster: "unless you were a dab at some game you cut no ice".〔Hart-Davis, p. 170〕 Among Mitchell's Etonian protégés was George Harris, who as Lord Harris became one of the most influential of cricket administrators.〔Birley, (unnumbered page )〕
Mitchell married Mary Henrietta Ley, the second daughter of Henry Ley, Clerk of the House of Commons.〔("Mitchell, Richard Arthur Henry" ), Who Was Who, Oxford University Press, April 2014, retrieved 13 May 2014 〕 Mitchell was the father of the courtier and cricketer Sir Frank Mitchell.〔("Mitchell, Sir Frank Herbert" ), Who Was Who, Oxford University Press, April 2014, retrieved 13 May 2014 〕
