Ken James (cricketer)
Kenneth Cecil James (12 March 1904 – 21 August 1976), was a cricketer who played for Wellington, Northamptonshire and New Zealand.
A wicket-keeper and a useful batsman, James first played for Wellington in 1923 and came to England with the first New Zealand touring party in 1927 ostensibly as second string to Tom Lowry. But he quickly made the wicket-keeping position his own, with 85 dismissals on the tour, including eight at Derby. His understanding of the spin of Bill Merritt, the touring team's most successful bowler, was especially noted. No Test matches were played on the 1927 tour.
James was first-choice wicket-keeper when the first New Zealand Test matches were played in 1929-30 against England, and again on the tour of England in 1931, and he also played in the home series against South Africa in 1931-32 and against England the following year. In 11 Tests, he made 16 dismissals but failed completely as a batsman, scoring only 52 runs in total.
But James then left New Zealand for England to qualify by residence as a county player for Northamptonshire, becoming the regular wicket-keeper from 1936 to 1939 and being joined there by Merritt. For a very weak county — Northamptonshire failed to win a single match for four years from May 1935 — James was notable not only for his wicket-keeping but also increasingly as a batsman, and in 1938, he scored more than 1,000 runs and made two centuries.
