lionel hedges

lionel paget hedges , born 13 july 1900 and died 12 january 1933 , was a cricketer whose feats as a schoolboy at tonbridge school led him to be named , in 1919 , as one of the cricketers of the year by wisden .
hedges was one of five public schoolboys selected for their deeds in 1918 in the absence of first-class cricketers , because of the suspension of cricket during the first world war .
in fact , hedges ' record in 1919 was even better than the previous year : he scored 1,038 runs for tonbridge , including scores of 193 , 176 and 163 in schools matches .
hedges had a limited cricket career after school .
he played for oxford university for three years from 1920 , and also played for kent .
in 1921 , he scored more than 1,000 first-class runs at an average of 34 , but he never achieved such success again .
he became a schoolmaster at cheltenham college and so qualified by residence for gloucestershire , but his record was modest and he did not play after 1929 .
he died in 1933 at the age of 32 after contracting influenza .
