Evelyn Maitland "Lyn" Wellings (6 April 1909—10 September 1992) was an Egyptian-born English cricketer and journalist, who played for Oxford University and Surrey.[1]

Wellings became a trenchant cricket correspondent later in his career, writing for the Daily Mirror and the London Evening News, the latter between 1938 and 1973.[2] Ian Wooldridge once said that Wellings "dipped his pen in vitriol", with Wellings attacking one-day cricket, overseas players, the isolation of South Africa and later anything to do with the Test and County Cricket Board.[2]
