Tris Bennett

Cecil Tristram "Tris" Bennett (10 August 1902 – 3 February 1978) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Middlesex, Surrey, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Cambridge University between 1922 and 1927 as a right-handed batsman. Regarded as a brilliant slip fielder, Bennett held 43 catches in his 50 first-class matches.

Bennett was educated at Harrow School, where he captained the first XI in his final year, 1921, and at Cambridge University, where he also captained the first XI in his final year, 1925. He toured the West Indies in 1925–26 with the MCC team, but played in only four of the 12 first-class matches.

Bennett wrote a memoir of his cricket career in the 1974 edition of Wisden, titled "When Three-Day Cricket Was Worthwhile".
