Ewart Astill
William Ewart Astill (1 March 1888, Ratby, Leicestershire, England – 10 February 1948, Stoneygate, Leicester, England) was, along with George Geary, the mainstay of the Leicestershire team from 1922 to about 1935. He played in nine Test matches but was never picked for a home Test or for the Ashes tour. However, for the best part of three decades he was a vital member of a generally struggling Leicestershire team. With no amateur able to play frequently for the county, Astill became the first officially appointed professional captain of any county for over fifty years in 1935. The county enjoyed a useful season, but at forty-seven years of age, Astill was only a stop gap before an amateur of the required standard and availability could be found.〔Gentlemen v Players Vol.II M.Marshall〕 He was a nephew of Leicestershire fast bowler Thomas Jayes.
== Pre-1914 career ==
Astill began his career at the age of eighteen in 1906. He played only one match that season, but his medium-paced right-hand bowling on the treacherous pitches of the following season was so difficult that he took in county cricket 74 wickets for 16.58. The following year, Astill was Leicestershire's chief bowler with 84 wickets. His thirteen for 61 against Derbyshire on a treacherous pitch was a result he was never able to beat for twenty-five years after that. He again did well in 1909, but struggled in 1910 and 1911 and was dropped from his team.
In the wet summer of 1912, Astill regained his place but was expensive considering the favourable conditions,〔Wisden 1913 Leicestershire Section〕 and on the firmer wickets of 1913 he could not retain his place. In 1914, he played only five matches.
