Colin Cowdrey
Michael Colin Cowdrey, Baron Cowdrey of Tonbridge, (24 December 19324 December 2000) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Oxford University (1952–1954), Kent County Cricket Club (1950–1976) and England (1954–1975). Universally known as Colin Cowdrey, he "delighted crowds throughout the world with his style and elegance", and was the first cricketer to play 100 Test matches, celebrating the occasion with 104 against Australia in 1968. In all he played 114 Tests, making 7,624 runs at an average of 44.06, overtaking Wally Hammond as the most prolific Test batsman, and taking 120 catches as a fielder, breaking another Hammond record. Cowdrey made 22 Test centuries (an England record until 2013) and was the first batsman to make centuries against the six other Test playing countries of his era; Australia, South Africa, the West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan, making hundreds against them all both home and away. He toured Australia six times in 1954–55, 1958–59, 1962–63, 1965–66, 1970–71 and 1974–75, equalling Colin Blythe's record, and in his last Test fans hung out a banner 'M.C.G. FANS THANK COLIN – 6 TOURS'.
David Jowett
He made his debut for Dorset in minor counties cricket against Cornwall in August 1952 (though his minor counties debut proper had come in 1948 when he played twice for Gloucestershire Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship). After studying at Sherborne School, Jowett went up to St John's College, Oxford. It was there that he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University in May 1952 against Yorkshire at Oxford. His first wicket in first-class cricket was Len Hutton. He played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1952–1955, making 46 appearances. He scored 566 runs for Oxford University in first-class cricket at an average of 12.57, with a highest score of 57 not out, one of two occasions he passed fifty. As an off break bowler, he took 118 wickets for the university, which came at a bowling average of 32.20. He took five wickets or more in an innings three times, with best figures of 7/132 coming against Surrey in 1954 at Guildford. Besides playing first-class cricket for Oxford University, Jowett also three matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club, and one match for the Free Foresters. Jowett was never on the winning side in any of his fifty first-class matches. His minor counties career with Dorset continued until 1960, with Jowett making 64 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship for the county.
