Sidney Hugh Martin (11 January 1909 – 13 February 1988) was a South African cricketer who played 267 first-class games in both South African and English cricket. He was the uncle of South Africa Test cricketer Hugh Tayfield. Martin made his first-class debut in the Currie Cup for Natal against Eastern Province in March 1926, taking two second-innings wickets including that of Arthur Ochse.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Eastern Province v Natal in 1925/26 )〕 He played two more games (both also against Natal) the following season, taking six wickets in the first match and scoring 64 not out in the first innings of the second game.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Natal v Eastern Province in 1926/27 )〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Natal v Eastern Province in 1926/27 )〕 In 1929 Martin made his debut in England, playing for MCC against Oxford University at Lord's,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Marylebone Cricket Club v Oxford University in 1929 )〕 and although he returned to Natal during the English winters,〔 Obituary. ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' 1990.〕 he played no further cricket outside England until after the Second World War. He appeared quite regularly for MCC in 1929 and 1930; his best bowling return for them was the 7–43 he claimed in the first innings against the Royal Navy in July 1929,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Navy v Marylebone Cricket Club in 1929 )〕 while his highest score was the 97 he made against the Army in August 1930.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Marylebone Cricket Club v Army in 1930 )〕 In 1931 Martin made a rather low-key Worcestershire debut, taking two wickets and scoring 4 against the New Zealanders.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v New Zealanders in 1931 )〕 He began his County Championship career the following season, and remained a stalwart of the side until the outbreak of war. He just failed to score his thousand first-class runs for the season in 1932, but reached the landmark every year from 1933 to 1939, while in both 1937 and 1939 he achieved the double.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=First-class Batting and Fielding in Each Season by Sidney Martin )〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=First-class Bowling in Each Season by Sidney Martin )〕 His most productive year with the bat was 1935, in which he hit five centuries, including his career best: a first-innings 191 * versus Northamptonshire; at one stage Worcestershire had been 26/4.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Northamptonshire in 1935 )〕 As a bowler, he three times took eight wickets in an innings, the best of these returns (and the best of his career) being the 8–24 he claimed against Sussex in August 1939; his match figures were 13–88.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Sussex in 1939 )〕 The war then intervened, and indeed he never played first-class cricket in England again. His next appearance was back with Natal, playing against Transvaal in a match starting on Boxing Day 1945; Martin scored 67 but took only one wicket.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Transvaal v Natal in 1945/46 )〕 He played a full Currie Cup campaign with Natal in 1946/47, and in November 1946 took 5–32 against Griqualand West.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Griqualand West v Natal in 1946/47 )〕 From 1947/48 until the end of his career in 1949/50, Martin represented Rhodesia, now having moved to live there.〔 For them, his best performance was the 6–49 he took against a touring MCC side at Salisbury in February 1949.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= 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「Sidney Martin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
