dick pougher

arthur dick pougher -lrb- 19 april 1865 , humberstone , leicester , england -- 20 may 1926 , aylestone park , leicester , england -rrb- was a cricketer who played for leicestershire county cricket club between 1894 and 1901 .
pougher was awarded a benefit by leicestershire in 1900 .
he also played one test match for england , which was against south africa in cape town in 1891-92 .
his greatest moment came when he took five australian wickets for no runs in three five-ball overs with his deceptive off spin for mcc at lord 's in 1896 .
the tourists were bundled out for a humiliating 18 .
unfamiliar with pougher 's bowling they failed to realise that he kept the ball lower and turned it less than seemed possible with his strong finger and wrist action .
he umpired 49 first-class matches .
all but two of these were between 1903 and 1909 ; the exceptions were one match in australia in 1888-89 and leicestershire 's game against the west indians in 1923 .
he also officiated in yorkshire 's game against kent in july 1904 , but this match is not included in the total , as he and fellow umpire william shrewsbury -lrb- brother of arthur -rrb- declared the match void after the first day because of illegal changes made to the pitch .
his name is pronounced ` puffer ` and after retirement from cricket , he kept the old cricket ground hotel at aylestone park , leicester .
