dick westcott

richard john westcott -lrb- born 19 september 1927 in lisbon , portugal , died 16 january 2013 in hermanus , south africa -rrb- was a south african cricketer who played in five tests from 1954 to 1958 .
he was the first test cricketer to have been born in portugal .
moises henriques is the only other portuguese-born test cricketer , for australia .
dick westcott was an adventurous right-handed opening batsman and a capable but under-used right-arm medium pace bowler who played for western province throughout the 1950s .
he scored a century in his third match in 1950 -- 51 .
early in his career he was involved in a car crash which caused severe damage to his left arm , but he continued to play at a high standard .
in 1953 -- 54 , he scored 82 and 71 for western province against the new zealand touring side , and he was called into the south africa side for the third test match at newlands , cape town .
new zealand posted their then-highest score of 505 in this match and south africa were forced to follow on .
westcott made 62 as the home side saved the match fairly comfortably .
in the next game , westcott opened with jackie mcglew and scored 43 as the pair put on 104 for the first wicket .
he retained his place for the final test .
though westcott retained his form in subsequent seasons , he was not picked for the away and home test series against england in 1955 and 1956 -- 57 .
in 1957 -- 58 he hit 101 against border and 140 against eastern province , and was recalled for the second and third tests against the australians .
the recall was not a success : he scored 18 runs in three innings , all 18 coming in the second innings of the second test , when he was the only south african to reach double figures apart from trevor goddard , who carried his bat for 56 out of a total of 99 all out .
westcott continued to appear for western province , playing his last match in 1961 -- 62 .
