Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Robert Barrington "Barry" Scott (9 October 1916 – 6 April 1984) was an Australian cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Victoria between 1935 and 1940 and for New South Wales in 1940-41.[1][2]
Cricket career
A tall, powerfully built right-arm fast bowler and hard-hitting left-handed lower-order batsman,[3][4] Scott's best season was 1938-39, when he took 23 wickets at an average of 22.39, including figures of 7 for 33 and 5 for 46 when Victoria beat New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield match in Sydney.[5] At the end of the 1939-40 season he was selected to open the bowling for The Rest against New South Wales.[6] He was considered one of Australia's most promising young fast bowlers immediately before World War II.[7][3]
He had a vigorous run-up and peculiar bowling action. The Cricketer's Australian correspondent noted in early 1939: "He has a whirlwind arm action; just before delivery his left elbow points skyward while the right hand begins its sweep from the region of the left armpit, the general effect being heightened by a lock of black hair which flops, Hitler fashion, across his brow."[8]
Life outside cricket
Scott was educated at Wesley College and at Melbourne University, where he studied Arts and Law.[9][10] He married Yvonne Evans in Melbourne in May 1940.[11]
He served in the Army in World War II as a private.[12] After the war he became a prominent advertising executive in Melbourne.[3] In the early 1950s he was an assistant trade commissioner in New York.[10]
