John Mortimore (cricketer)
John Brian Mortimore (14 May 1933 – 13 February 2014) was an English cricketer, who played in nine Tests for England from 1959 to 1964, and captained Gloucestershire between 1965 and 1967. Career His county colleague and fellow off-spinner, David Allen, spun the ball more than Mortimore, but “Morty” was able to coax county batsmen with cunning and pin-point accuracy, which often led to their downfall. He was sent out as a replacement for Peter May's struggling team in the 1958-59 Ashes series, and topped the batting averages by dint of being out only once in the series, 55 runs (55.00). Unfortunately, at the time England was awash with capable off-spinners who could bat; Ray Illingworth, Fred Titmus and Allen all averaged 20–25 with the bat, and 30-32 per wicket with the ball, and this restricted Mortimore's Test appearances. Mortimore toured India in 1963–64, playing three Tests in a notoriously slow-scoring series. In the Fifth Test at Kanpur, on a pitch ''Wi ...
