seymour clark

arthur henry seymour clark -lrb- 26 march 1902 at weston-super-mare -- 7 march 1995 at weston-super-mare -rrb- , was a first-class cricketer who played five times for somerset in the 1930 english cricket season and set a record that appears not to have been surpassed .
clark , a local club cricketer in weston and a locomotive driver with the great western railway , was called into the somerset side for five matches when regular wicketkeeper wally luckes was ill .
he took eight catches , and wisden cricketers ' almanack for 1931 said that he `` rendered useful service in that capacity '' .
clark is chiefly remembered as a batsman .
in nine innings in the five games , he failed to score a single run .
in the match against northamptonshire at kettering , he was not out in both innings and failed to score , but otherwise he was out for 0 , bowled five times and caught twice .
nine innings is believed to be the record for a first-class cricketer who failed to score a single run .
john howarth of nottinghamshire played in 13 matches without scoring , but batted only seven times .
in clark 's obituary in wisden 1996 edition , it is reported that the essex and england bowler peter smith , bowling essex to an overwhelming victory at colchester , attempted to give him a run .
he bowled so gently to clark that the ball bounced twice before reaching the batsman .
clark was still bowled by it .
in club cricket , clark reckoned his highest score was three .
he returned to his career on the railways after this brief taste of first-class cricket .
