Ronald William 'Ron' Hooker (born 22 February 1935) is a former English cricketer. Hooker was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. A successful all-rounder, Hooker played for the first-class county Middlesex and later for the minor county Buckinghamshire, in a career which spanned from 1956 to 1975. He was born in Lower Clapton, London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Player profile: Ronald Hooker )〕 ==Middlesex== The years between 1959 and 1963, together with 1966, were his most productive seasons with the bat. In 1959 he scored 1,449 runs in first-class matches at an average of 30.18. That year, in 52 innings he reached 50 on 13 occasions, though he only went on to a century once. He only exceeded 1,000 runs in one other season, 1963, with 1,083. The previous season he had recorded his highest average, 34.78, but narrowly failed to reach a thousand runs.〔(First-class batting and fielding figures by season )〕 His most productive period as a bowler was from 1961 to 1966, when he took over 40 wickets every season. During this period, only twice did his average fall outside the narrow range 23.88 to 26.81: in 1966 he averaged 21.70 and in 1962 he had a relatively poor season and averaged 33.44. He took most wickets in 1965, with 90, and also had his best innings analysis of 7/18. Perhaps because he had to do much more bowling than usual that season, he had a very poor season with the bat.〔(First-class bowling figures by season )〕 The number of catches that he took indicates that he was a fine fielder. Between 1959 and 1965, only in 1964 did he take fewer than 26 catches in a season. In 1961 he held 38 in 26 matches and in 1963 37 in 30 matches. Arguably his catching was even better in the intervening season, when he held 34 in only 21 matches.〔 In the John Player League List A match against Surrey in 1969, his last season for Middlesex, he had the remarkable analysis of 8 overs, 4 maidens, 6 runs, 6 wickets. He took six of the first seven wickets to fall.〔(Scorecard of Middlesex v Surrey John Player League match )〕 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「Ron Hooker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
