Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricketer George Henry Cooper (15 February 1907 – 2 January 2000) was an Australian cricketer. He played in two first-class matches for Queensland in 1930.[1]
Cricket career
Cooper was a leg-break bowler, also described as a "dashing left-hand batsman... and very good in the field", who played for Warwick in Queensland Country cricket. He was sent to represent Warwick during a Country Week cricket carnival in 1930 which earned him selection in the Queensland State side.[2] When he departed Warwick to play in his first match the staff of the railway station office assembled to see him off with the assistant general manager presenting him with a cricket bat.[3] He was selected for his batting and not his bowling, however he injured his knee while fielding which prevented him from batting.[4] He was selected for Queensland a second time in late 1930.[5]
As of 1934 he had moved to Bundaberg and played some seasons for the Millaquin team in the local competition.[2] In 1936 he married and found work in Brisbane moving to the city with a local paper reporting he would be a good recruit for a district team,[6] and as of 1937 he was playing for Northern Suburbs.[7] In 1942 he played in a special cricket match organized to entertain Troops stationed in Brisbane.[8]
Military service
During World War II, Cooper served in the Australian Army between September 1942 and November 1945, reaching the rank of corporal. His final posting on discharge was the 2/123rd Brigade Workshops.[9]
