Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Arnold Warren (2 April 1875 – 3 September 1951) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1897 and 1920 and played for England in 1905. He was the first bowler from Derbyshire to take 100 wickets in a season, a feat he performed three times.

Cricket career

He made his debut for Derbyshire against Lancashire in May 1897.[1] During his time at Derbyshire, he was partnered by Billy Bestwick in a dangerous fast-bowling partnership that never gained much reward because they had very small totals to bowl at.[1] Though rarely judged a better bowler than Bestwick, it was owing to his superiority as a batsman and fieldsman that Warren gained the pair's only England cap against Australia at Headingley in 1905.

He played in the Headingley (Leeds) Ashes Test of 1905.[1] A very tall, right-arm fast bowler who operated off a long, bounding approach, he took 5 for 57 in the first innings of a drawn match.[2] Although he dismissed the cream of Australia's batting, taking the prized wicket of Victor Trumper in both innings, he was not selected again.[1]

In 1910, when playing against Warwickshire at Blackwell Warren scored 123 in less than three hours in a ninth-wicket stand of 283 with John Chapman.[1] This remains a world record in all first-class cricket.[1]

Football career

Шаблон:Infobox football biography Warren played as an outside right in the Football League for Derby County and in the Southern League for Brentford in the early 1900s.[3][4][5] He also played non-league football for Heanor Town and Ripley Athletic.[3] Warren's Brentford career ended when he was jailed for six months for causing an affray in a local pub.[4]

First World War

Despite being 40 years old and not eligible to serve, Warren lied about his age and enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War.[1] He suffered upper body wounds from a shell blast in France in 1917 and was discharged in February 1919, three months after the armistice.[1] Warren reached the rank of lance bombardier.[1]

Personal life

Warren was born in Codnor, Derbyshire, the son of John Warren, a builder, and his wife Mary.[1] Warren died in his hometown at the age of 76.[1]
