Arthur Westland Rees (9 September 1866 – 1 January 1921) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Auckland and Hawke's Bay between 1889 and 1897.[1] In his first two first-class matches he took 25 wickets.

Life and career

Rees's father was William Lee Rees, who was a cousin of W. G. Grace and other members of the Grace and Gilbert families.[1] Arthur Rees was born in Hokitika and educated at Auckland Grammar School before going to Caius College, Cambridge. He returned to New Zealand in 1889 and was admitted as a barrister and solicitor in 1890.[2] He established a law practice in Gisborne in 1893.[2]

A left-arm slow bowler, Rees took 32 wickets for 226 in the three matches of Auckland's southern tour in 1889–90.[3] He began with 6 for 27 and 8 for 36 against Otago, bowling unchanged on his first-class debut,[4] and a few days later he took 7 for 35 and 4 for 63 against Canterbury.[5] He was the leading bowler in New Zealand that season, with 38 wickets at an average of 10.94.[6]

Rees married Mabel Margaret Crawford in Gisborne in May 1893.[7] He died at his home in Gisborne early on New Year's Day 1921 after a short illness. His wife, a son and three daughters survived him.[2]
