He had Irish ancestry, and received his secondary education at Maritzburg College. Cuan McCarthy was included in the national side for the first time at the age of 19. Six feet two inches (1.88m) tall, and a bowler of genuine pace who could command a deadly off-cutter, he opened the bowling for South Africa in his 15 Tests, spanning 1948 to 1951. He was no batsman and stands as one of the few cricketers to have taken more wickets than the number of runs scored: up to the end of 1951 his highest score in forty-five first-class games was only seven. On a pitch freshened by a sharp shower he prod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
