About Ted Bowley
Lived 1890 – 1974 (aged 84). Ted Bowley was a New Zealand cricketer.
Edward Henry Bowley (6 June 1890 – 9 July 1974) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Sussex County Cricket Club and the England cricket team.
A forceful opening batsman, Bowley played just one season of regular first-class cricket before the First World War and was 30 when he resumed his cricket career in 1920. For the next 14 seasons he was a reliable run-getter, and for three seasons from 1927 to 1929, he was among the heaviest scorers in England. At 39, he was called up for two Test matches against South Africa in 1929, and the following winter he toured New Zealand and Australia with Harold Gilligan's Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) team, playing in three of the four Test matches against New Zealand. He scored 109 at Auckland.
