Abraham "Abe" Waddington, sometimes known as Abram Waddington (4 February 1893 – 28 October 1959), was a professional cricketer for Yorkshire, who played in two Test matches for England against Australia in 1920–21. Between 1919 and 1927 Waddington made 255 appearances for Yorkshire, and in all first-class cricket played in 266 first-class matches. In these games, he took a total of 852 wickets with his left arm fast-medium bowling.

Waddington first played for Yorkshire after the First World War, when the team had been weakened by injuries and retirements. He made an immediate impression in his first season, 1919, taking 100 wickets; after a similarly successful season in 1920 he was selected for the 1920–21 Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) tour of Australia. On the tour Waddington appeared in two of the five Tests. However, the England team were outclassed; used in an unfamiliar tactical role, Waddington took just one wicket in his two Tests, and never played for England again. At home, his reputation as a hostile, uncompromising opponent was cemented by incidents in 1924, but a succession of injuries reduced his effectiveness before his retirement from first-class cricket in 1927. He continued to play at a lower level and worked for the family business, maintaining his connection with Yorkshire cricket. Waddington was successful in other sports, notably golf and football.

[edit] Early life

Abraham Waddington[notes 1] was born in Clayton, Bradford on 4 February 1893, the eldest of three brothers.[2] His family owned a fat refining business managed by his father. Once he left school, Waddington joined the family firm as a lorry driver, occasionally working in the factory. He had begun playing cricket for Crossley Hall in the West Bradford League at the age of 11; as a teenager he played in the Bradford League for Lidget Green, and later, Laisterdyke, gaining a local reputation aas a fast-medium bowler. He helped Laisterdyke win the League championship in 1913,[2] before moving to Wakefield for the 1914 season, where he took 98 wickets at an average of 12.00.[3] As a result he was selected to play in a Yorkshire Second XI match in August 1914, alongside future First XI teammates Herbert Sutcliffe and Cec Tyson. Waddington was unsuccessful in this match, conceding 54 runs in nine overs without taking a wicket.[4][5] The outbreak of the First World War prevented him making any further appearances for the county.[2]

When war was declared, Waddington volunteered for Lord Kitchener's New Army, joining the Bradford Pals battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment.[3][6] He first served overseas as part of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force from 30 December 1915.[7] On 1 July 1916, during the first day of the Battle of the Somme, Waddington was wounded by shrapnel at Serre, and took shelter in a crater in no man's land with other wounded soldiers.[3][6] One of these was the Yorkshire cricketer Major Booth, who was critically wounded. Waddington comforted Booth and the cricketer died in his arms, an experience which haunted Waddington for the rest of his life.[6] After recovering, Waddington transferred to the Royal Flying Corps.[3][7]

[edit] County debut

Yorkshire's bowling attack was severely depleted when cricket resumed in 1919. Of the team's previously successful bowlers, Booth had been killed in the war, Alonzo Drake died from illness in 1919, Schofield Haigh had retired and George Hirst was past his best. Although Wilfred Rhodes was able to ease the shortfall by resuming his career as a frontline bowler, Yorkshire needed to recruit new bowlers, particularly pacemen.[6][8]

Yorkshire cricketers Roy Kilner and Arthur Dolphin were also wounded at the Somme. In 1919, they recommended Waddington to the Yorkshire committee, probably after seeing him take part in cricket matches in the army.[6] Having returned to play for Laisterdyke in the Bradford League,[3] Waddington was called into the Yorkshire side half-way through the 1919 season for the County Championship match against Derbyshire. On his first-class debut, he took four wickets for 26 runs in 26 overs, and after missing the next match, he followed up with nine wickets against Essex in his second game, taking his first five wicket haul in the second innings of that match.[3][5] Regularly taking three or more wickets in an innings, his performances peaked when he took twelve wickets in the match against Gloucestershire. Although Waddington was less effective towards the end of the season, he finished with 100 wickets at an average of 18.74, with eight five-wicket returns.[9] Waddington was only the sixth bowler in first-class cricket history to reach 100 wickets in his debut year; his bowling played a large part in Yorkshire's winning the 1919 County Championship.[3][10]

In 1920 Waddington continued the productive start to his career. Although Yorkshire fell to fourth in the Championship,[11] and had no effective opening bowlers to support him, Waddington took 141 wickets in the season at an average of 16.79, taking five or more wickets in an innings 13 times.[9] In his first four matches he took 28 wickets, but his most productive spells came in late June and throughout July. Against Leicestershire, he took seven for 25 and ended the match with 12 wickets; against Northamptonshire, he took 11 wickets in the first game and bowled throughout both innings of the second to take 13 wickets for 48 runs, including seven for 18 in the first innings and a hat-trick.[notes 2][5][12] Waddington's season concluded with selection for the Players against the Gentlemen in the Scarborough Festival, and although he took just one wicket in the match[13] he was one of four players from Yorkshire chosen to tour Australia that winter with the MCC.[14]

[edit] Test selection

The 1920–21 tour to Australia was unsuccessful for the tourists. In the Test matches, England were overwhelmed by Australia, losing all five games.[15] Wisden Cricketers' Almanack stated that the "chief cause of failure was the bowling".[15] The MCC had been reluctant to tour so soon after the war, and critics had predicted the bowling would be weak in Australian playing conditions.[15]

At the beginning of November, before the first-class matches began, Waddington was operated on for abscesses, and missed over a month of cricket.[5][16] He played only one first-class match before the first Test, but took wickets in several minor matches.[5] Selected for the first Test, he took the first wicket to fall in the game, that of Charlie Macartney, but failed to take another wicket in the match while conceding 88 runs, hampered by a leg injury in the later stages.[17][18] He did not play another Test until the fourth, where he bowled five overs for 31 runs.[5] Waddington ended the tour with seven wickets at an average of 46.71; his single one Test wicket was at a cost of 119 runs.[5][9]

The tour was a frustrating experience for Waddington. In all matches, he headed the bowling averages, but was unhappy that most of his appearances came in the non-first-class country matches, many against opponents fielding more than eleven players to make a more even fight. Throughout the tour, the press criticised MCC captain Johnny Douglas for the way he used bowlers. Although Yorkshire used Waddington in short bursts with the objective of taking wickets, Douglas used him to bowl long spells with the prime objective of defensive, run-saving bowling, a task to which Waddington was unsuited.[19] After the tour, Waddington did not play for England again and was never seriously considered for a recall.[19]

In 1921, Waddington took 105 wickets at an average of 18.94, not reaching ten wickets in any of the matches he played.[9] He took time to find his form, taking few wickets in the first games. At the beginning of July, he took 28 wickets in four matches, but in the last part of the season, he had little success.[5] However, the introduction of pace bowler George Macaulay into the team gave Waddington more support in leading the attack than he had previously enjoyed.[19] Yorkshire were third in the Championship in 1921; in the following season they won the first of four successive titles.[11] Waddington made another slow start to the 1922 season, bowling 46 overs in the first three matches and taking just six wickets. In contrast, in the next two matches he took seven for 31 against Derbyshire, collecting 11 wickets in the game, and eight for 34 against Northamptonshire, the best figures of his career. After a lean few games, Waddington took 34 wickets in four matches, including 11 against Kent. Later in the season, he took seven wickets for six runs in a Sussex total of 20, ten wickets in the second game against Kent, and eight for 35 against Hampshire. His season ended with festival games at Eastbourne, where he represented the North against the South and played for a team of ex-Royal Air Force servicemen.[5] In all first-class games in 1922, Waddington took 133 wickets at an average of 16.08, improving on his 1921 average and aggregate.[9]

[edit] Injury and controversy

After eight matches of the 1923, Waddington had taken just 12 wickets. His performances improved with six wickets against Cambridge University and ten wickets in the match against Northamptonshire.[5] By the middle of July, he had taken 65 wickets at an average of 17.92.[5][9] However, he injured his shoulder while fielding against Leicestershire,[20] which kept him out of cricket for the rest of the season, apart from an abortive comeback against Lancashire in which he bowled six wicketless overs.[3][5] Although Waddington resumed playing in 1924, the injury affected the remainder of his career and his bowling was never as effective as it had been.[3][21]

On his return in 1924, Waddington bowled only 36 overs in his first five matches, taking one wicket.[5] However, he was used more in Yorkshire's defeat against Middlesex at Lord's Cricket Ground where he bowled 42 overs to take three for 116. Several Yorkshire players were absent, playing representative matches, but the game had consequences later in the season.[22][23] In the return match at Bramall Lane, Sheffield in July, the Yorkshire players seemed determined to have revenge on Middlesex for the Lord's defeat, but could only secure a draw. Critics thought that the Yorkshire bowlers appealed excessively to the umpires, while the Middlesex players were barracked by the crowd. Journalist Alfred Pullin described the match as "a sorry exhibition of ill feeling and bad manners."[23] The umpires reported Waddington to the Cricket committee of the MCC for inciting the crowd through his appeals and gestures of displeasure when batsmen were not given out. Although Waddington claimed to be innocent, the MCC supported the umpires, finding Waddington guilty of dissent.[23][24] Yorkshire president Lord Hawke persuaded Waddington to write a letter of apology to the MCC secretary.[23] After the game, Middlesex threatened to cancel their future matches against Yorkshire; rumours circulated that the Yorkshire captain Geoffrey Wilson had offered to resign and that Waddington would be dropped. However, after intervention by former Yorkshire player Rockley Wilson, Middlesex withdrew the threat, and the Yorkshire–Middlesex match at Leeds the following season raised a record amount for Roy Kilner's benefit.[21] Geoffrey Wilson resigned at the end of the season,[25] and Waddington continued in the team. Nevertheless, the circumstances of this match probably cost Macaulay a place in the England Test team,[26] and stories continued to spread. Bill Bowes later recalled that Waddington was accused of having deliberately tripped and injured a Middlesex player, J. W. Hearne, around this period, although he did not specify if it was the 1924 Sheffield match.[27] Waddington ended the season with 69 wickets at an average of 21.55, but passed five wickets in only three innings and appeared less effective than before his injury.[9][28]

[edit] Decline

Waddington took more than 100 wickets in a season for the final time in 1925. Although his form was mixed, he achieved some good performances.[29] He took ten wickets in the match against Glamorgan, and took five wickets in an innings on four occasions. In total, he took 109 wickets at an average of 20.24.[5][9] Over the next two seasons, Waddington's bowling declined. In 1926 he took 78 wickets at an average of 23.30, and after coaching in India in the winter of 1926–27, he took 45 wickets at 32.02 in his final season of 1927. On many occasions, he was expensive, and he took five wickets on just three occasions over the two seasons.[9][30] However, in his last season, he scored his only first-class century, 114 against Worcestershire.[21] His final first-class appearance was for the North against the South at the Folkestone Festival, where he bowled 16 overs without taking a wicket.[31] At the end of the season, Waddington was offered a new contract despite his decline in bowling and continuing problems from his injured shoulder but declined, ending his county cricket career.[21] In all first-class matches, Waddington took 852 wickets at an average of 19.75 and scored 2,527 runs at an average of 12.89 with four fifties as well as the century.[1]

[edit] Style and personality

Waddington bowled with control, maintaining a good length while his action made the ball swing away from the batsman. For variation, he bowled an off cutter and when he bowled, the ball seemed to increase its speed after bouncing.[12][32] He often bowled around the wicket. His run-up began from the on side of the wicket, and he ran behind the umpire. He then bowled from the corner of the bowling crease, creating a sharp angle for the batsman to face, sometimes using short pitched bowling with a ring of leg side fielders.[33] Waddington modelled his bowling on that of George Hirst, who also acted as a coach and mentor to him in his early career.[34] His bowling action was noted for its excellence and perfection.[3] Neville Cardus, a journalist and cricket writer, described it as "gloriously rhythmical",[35] and "so lovely that one simply cannot deny he is a good bowler."[33]

Waddington resented the class divisions in English cricket, his feelings fuelled by experiences of officers in the war and possibly his tour to Australia in 1920–21. He questioned the decisions of umpires and sledged opposing batsmen, both of which were unusual at the time.[19] His Times obituary noted that some disagreements came because Waddington played to win and was an enthusiastic appealer, although he was unlikely to win many appeals for leg before wicket because of the angle at which he bowled.[34] Cardus noted that he was "ever raising hopes that real greatness will come from him, only to disappoint again and again".[33] Although Waddington scored a first-class century in his final season, he did not live up to his batting potential despite a good batting style; Herbert Sutcliffe believed he could have been a leading batsman, but did not possess the patience to build an innings.[19] Anthony Woodhouse, a cricket historian, describes him as a "wild and irresponsible ... quick-tempered individual".[3] However, cricket writer Jim Kilburn wrote that "at his best, he was a magnificently hostile bowler with one of the most beautiful actions ever seen in cricket, and his pace and break-back were a problem for the greatest of batsmen".[36]

[edit] Later life

Once Waddington had retired from Yorkshire, he fully took over the family business. He played league cricket for Bradford in 1928 and for Accrington in 1929 and 1930. He remained close to members of the Yorkshire team and was a pallbearer at Kilner's funeral in 1928. In 1954–55, Yorkshire player and England captain Len Hutton invited Waddington to accompany the members of the MCC team to Australia who visited the grave of Hedley Verity, the Yorkshire bowler who was killed in the Second World War.[21][37] According to John Kaye, a journalist and friend of Verity, "It was one of the most touching moments of my life. Abe Waddington draped a Yorkshire tie around the gravestone and said: 'Well bowled, mi' old cobber.'"[37]

Waddington had success in other sports, especially as an amateur football goalkeeper. He was with Bradford City in the 1920–21 football season, but did not play a match for them. For the 1921–22 season, he played for Halifax Town, making seven appearances in the Football League.[2][3][38] He was a good enough golfer to represent Yorkshire, to partner Henry Cotton and to play in the qualifying rounds of the Open Championship in 1935 and 1939.[2][3][39][40] However, one Bradford golf club banned him after he poured a glass of beer over the captain, whom Waddington believed had used inappropriate language in front of a woman. A motorcycling enthusiast, he regularly attended the Isle of Man TT, although his love of fast cars brought him trouble from the police at times.[2][3]

After a long illness, Waddington died in a Scarborough nursing home on 28 October 1959 aged 65. He was cremated in Bradford.[36][41]
