Russell Endean

William Russell Endean (31 May 1924 – 28 June 2003) was a South African cricketer who played in 28 Test matches from 1951 to 1958.

Endean had a part in two highly unusual Test match dismissals: he was the wicket-keeper whom Len Hutton obstructed leading to Hutton's being given out obstructing the field; and Endean himself was given out handled the ball, the first time in Test Cricket history a batsman was dismissed by this method.

He also holds the record for the most runs made before lunch on the first day of a first class match, scoring 197* for Transvaal against Orange Free State at Ellis Park in Johannesburg in the 1954/55 season.
