Michael Richard Gratwicke Earls-Davis (1921-2016) *95

Michael Richard Gratwicke Earls-Davis was an English cricketer who played for Cambridge University in 1947 and for Somerset in 1950. He was born at Hampstead, London. Educated at Sherbornee School, Earls-Davis went up to Cambridge University but, like many students of his time, then joined the armed forces during World War II. He was an officer in the Irish Guards and was wounded in action in 1944. He was thus 26 by the time he started his first-class cricket career as a lower-order left-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler at Cambridge in 1947. In his first game, against Worcestershire, he took five wickets in the match, including Don Kenyon twice. In the following match against Gloucestershire, he took four wickets for 87 in the county's first innings, and these proved to be the best bowling figures of his career. But he did not maintain this form and dropped out of the team before the University Match, and therefore did not win a Blue.
