frederick bowley -lrb- cricketer , born 1873 -rrb-

frederick lloyd bowley -lrb- 9 november 1873 -- 31 may 1943 -rrb- was an english cricketer who played county cricket for worcestershire from the 1890s to the 1920s .
he also represented the players against the gentlemen on four occasions .
he was born in brecon and died aged 69 in worcester .
having appeared for the county on a number of occasions before its elevation to the county championship , bowley made his first-class debut in worcestershire 's second match at that level , against sussex at hove in mid-may 1899 .
he opened the batting with wilfrid foster , but was bowled for 4 in each innings , though he did take a catch to dismiss opposing captain billy murdoch .
four further games that season produced no success , with a highest score of just 21 .
after a near miss with 95 against sussex a few days earlier , bowley scored his maiden hundred by hitting 118 against hampshire at the end of may 1900 .
although he made no further centuries that summer , he did pass a thousand runs for the season , averaging just over 24 .
for several years thereafter he was a significant contributor to worcestershire 's batting , enjoying the most productive season of his career in 1906 when he hit 1,629 first-class runs -lrb- 1,466 of them for worcestershire -rrb- with two hundreds and 11 fifties .
he played rather fewer games in 1907 and 1908 , and came nowhere near his thousand runs in either season , but from 1909 until first-class cricket was interrupted by the first world war he achieved the mark every year except 1912 .
in june 1914 he made his highest score , 276 against hampshire at dudley ; this established a county record that survived until surpassed by glenn turner 's 311 * 68 years later .
bowley was well into his forties when county cricket resumed in 1919 , but he nevertheless played on for several years and scoring consistently in a weak worcestershire side .
his highest post-war innings was the 188 he hit against somerset in 1921 , and that season he passed 1,000 runs for the 14th and last time , falling just short with 974 in 1922 .
he played one further first-class match , against hampshire in may 1923 , aged 49 , but made just 0 and 5 as worcestershire slipped to a two-day innings defeat .
his bowling was of the strictly occasional variety , but he did take four wickets in first-class cricket , his first and last victims -lrb- albert relf in 1900 and jack board in 1904 -rrb- being test players .
