Wyatt, Robert Elliott Storey
▪ 1996

      ("BOB"), British cricketer (b. May 2, 1901, Milford, Surrey, England—d. April 20, 1995, Treliske, Cornwall, England), in a first-class career (always as an amateur) that lasted from 1923 to 1957, was a reliable middle-order batsman and medium-fast bowler, scoring 39,405 runs (average, 40.04), including 85 centuries, and taking 901 wickets (average, 32.84). Between 1927 and 1937 he made 40 Test appearances for England (16 as captain), scored 1,839 runs (average, 31.70), and took 18 wickets (average, 35.66). Wyatt was educated in Coventry and in 1923 made his first-class debut with Warwickshire, which he captained from 1930 to 1937. After his World War II military service, he transferred to Worcestershire, where he played regularly until 1951 (as captain in 1950-51); he made his last first-class appearance at the age of 56. Although Wyatt was a controversial choice to lead England against Australia in 1930, he proved to be a tough competitor and was named vice-captain for the infamous "bodyline" tour to Australia in 1932-33. Wyatt also served as an England selector (1949-53) and as chairman of selectors (1950).
