Albert Edward Geddes (22 August 1871 – 12 August 1935) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played nine first-class matches for Otago between 1899 and 1904.[1]

Life and career

Born in Melbourne, Geddes played cricket and Australian rules football in Victoria and Western Australia before moving to Dunedin in 1898. A left-handed batsman and left-arm spin bowler, he was also a respected captain in club cricket and for Otago.[2]

Geddes' highest first-class score was 77 when he captained Otago to an innings victory over Hawke's Bay in 1901-02 and added 171 for the fourth wicket with James Baker.[3] In Otago's narrow victory over Canterbury in January 1900, he was the highest scorer on either side with 41 not out in the second innings; he and Alec Downes took the score from 62 for 7 to 131 for 8, "completely altering the aspect of affairs".[4]

His best first-class bowling figures were 3 for 5 and 2 for 12 on his first-class debut against Hawke's Bay in December 1899.[5] He also took 6 for 14 for Otago against Southland in December 1898.[6] In a senior Dunedin club match in February 1905 he took nine wickets in each innings for match figures of 18 for 79.[7]

Geddes was also a rugby union player.[8] He served as president of the Southland Rugby Football Union in the 1920s.[9]

Geddes married Hettie Critchley in Dunedin in July 1903.[10] He had a jewellery shop in Port Chalmers until 1907,[11] when he moved to Winton in Southland and opened a jewellery shop there.[12] He died suddenly at his home in Dunedin in August 1935, survived by his wife and their two sons.[2][13]
