Donald McKay Sandman (3 November 1889 – 29 January 1973) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1910 to 1927 and played several times for New Zealand in the days before New Zealand played Test cricket. ==Early career== A leg-beak and googly bowler, useful lower-order batsman and fine fieldsman at point,〔''Wanganui Chronicle'', 23 October 1913, p. 7.〕 Don Sandman took 63 wickets at an average of 9.80 for his Christchurch club, St Albans, in the 1909-10 season.〔(Enter Sandman ) Retrieved 12 December 2014.〕 He made his debut for Canterbury in February of that season against the touring Australians, taking three wickets. He was selected to play for New Zealand in the second "test" in March, and took 2 for 32 and 2 for 62.〔(New Zealand v Australia, Wellington 1909-10 )〕 In his first Plunket Shield match, in 1910-11, he took 5 for 55 in the second innings to help Canterbury win the Shield.〔(Auckland v Canterbury 1910-11 )〕 Auckland regained the Shield in 1911-12, but in 1912-13 Sandman made his highest score, 93, to help Canterbury take the title back.〔(Auckland v Canterbury 1912-13 )〕 He toured Australia with the New Zealanders in 1913-14, being preferred as the leg-spinner to Clarrie Grimmett of Wellington, who subsequently moved to Australia to try his luck there. Sandman took 20 wickets in the first two non-first-class matches against Northern New South Wales, and in the four state games he took 14 wickets at 32.64 and scored 182 runs at 30.33.〔Don Neely & Richard Payne, ''Men in White: The History of New Zealand International Cricket, 1894–1985'', Moa, Auckland, 1986, pp. 53-56.〕 He took four wickets in New Zealand's first "test" against the visiting Australians later that season, but was one of seven players omitted from the team for the second match.〔Neely & Payne, pp. 57-58.〕 He served overseas as a sergeant in the Canterbury Infantry Battalion in World War I.〔(Cenotaph Record: Donald McKay Sandman )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Sandman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
