Stanley Scott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanley Winckworth Scott (Bombay (Mumbai), India March 24, 1854 - Beckenham, Kent on December 8, 1933) was an English cricketer who played for Middlesex.
Scott was a middle-order batsman who played fairly regularly for Middlesex from 1878 to 1893, heading the batting averages in several seasons, though by modern standards his figures appear modest. His best season was 1892, when he scored 1015 runs at an average of 39 runs per innings, and against Gloucestershire at Lord's that season he scored 224, then regarded as a colossal score. He did well that season in both Gentlemen v Players matches at Lord's and The Oval, and was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1893.
But at the end of the 1893 season he retired to become a stockbroker.
