Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Arthur Douglas "Sandy" Baxter (20 January 1910 – 28 January 1986) was a Scottish first-class cricketer who played with Lancashire, Middlesex and Scotland, as well as with various amateur teams in the 1930s.[1]
He was educated at the preparatory school King's Mead School, at Seaford, Sussex, and in July 1930 he bowled Don Bradman in a non-first-class match for Scotland against Australia and to celebrate the school was given a half-day holiday to celebrate, though Bradman had scored 140 before he was out.[2] He was later educated at Loretto School in Scotland.[3]
Baxter was a highly enthusiastic cricket player for amateur teams, a fast bowler of in-swingers, a negligible tail-end batsman and a poor fielder.[3] Despite being only an irregular first-class player, he took five wickets in an innings 16 times and four times went on to take 10 or more wickets in a match; in 1935 when he played seven first-class games, the most he ever achieved in a single season, he headed the English bowling averages for players bowling in 10 or more innings, with 42 wickets at 13.08.[4] He toured Australia and New Zealand with the MCC in 1935–36. In a game for Lancashire against the touring West Indian side at Old Trafford in 1933, he took 5 for 10 runs in a 6 over spell.
Baxter became secretary and director of the paper manufacturing company Spicers Ltd.[1]
