Timeline

1905

Cyril Frederick Walters (28 August 1905 – 23 December 1992) was a Welsh first-class cricketer who had most of his success after leaving Glamorgan to do duty as captain-secretary of Worcestershire.

In this role he developed his batting to such an extent that for a brief period he became an England regular and even captained them in one match as a deputy for Bob Wyatt.

However, he unexpectedly completely gave up cricket soon after that, to the dismay of his country and county.

Walters was born Bedlinog, Glamorgan, Wales.

1923

Educated at Neath Grammar School, he first played for Glamorgan as a seventeen-year-old in 1923.

Although he only made one score of over fifty in three full seasons, Glamorgan's batting was of such a standard that he remained in the eleven, especially with his energetic fielding.

The following year, his business as a surveyor and architect kept him out of the team in the first half of the season, but on returning he improved phenomenally with 116 in his first match against Warwickshire and 114 against Leicestershire.

These innings showed him as a classically graceful batsman with many strokes and led to him being seen as an England prospect.

1927

However, business prevented Walters playing in 1927 after May, and Worcestershire, interested in having a permanent secretary, saw him as an ideal candidate.

1928

He accepted the position of secretary to that county in 1928 and, despite playing without success for Glamorgan in a few matches that year, began a period of qualification for Worcestershire.

1929

Though his sole first-class match in 1929 was for Wales against the MCC, when qualified in 1930 Walters' batting helped Worcestershire rise from perennial wooden-spooners to a respectable position.

1932

The following year Walters became captain of Worcestershire, and he advanced steadily despite his team falling off and two very wet summers, scoring over 1,500 runs in 1932 including 190 against Warwickshire.

1933

However, it was not until 1933 that Walters entered the front rank of batsmen.

Whereas he had hit only one century in each of his first three seasons at Worcestershire, that year he hit a county-record nine centuries.

With the Nawab of Pataudi, Maurice Nichol and Harold Gibbons Walters gave Worcestershire a quartet of batsmen who contributed twenty-five centuries between them.

Although Worcestershire won only two games because of deplorable bowling, with Herbert Sutcliffe suffering a surprise decline, Walters was chosen to open the batting in all three Tests against the touring West Indians.

1934

With scores of 51 and 46 in the first two Tests he did not disappoint, and was named a Cricketer of the Year by Wisden for 1934.

In the following series in India Walters definitely established himself as England's first choice opening bat, averaging 71 for six innings.

Although he was unsuccessful captaining England at Trent Bridge in 1934, Walters went from strength to strength as a batsman, scoring 2,000 runs for the second successive year and over 400 runs in the five Tests.

1935

1935 started well, but after a month Walters broke down in health and was advised to take a long rest.

However, 271 runs in two matches on returning had him selected for the last Test at Kennington Oval but he had to withdraw as his health broke down again.

Overall, he had a remarkable record in Test cricket of having reached 40 in twelve of his eighteen innings.

At the end of 1935 Walters resigned as secretary and captain of Worcestershire, but said he still hoped to play for the county as often as possible.

However, as it turned out, his career was already over as he concentrated on his marriage.

1936

Even when Walters did not appear in first-class cricket in 1936, however, Worcestershire believed he would play regularly in 1937 and complement a bowling attack that in a few years had gone from woeful to excellent.

However, he did not play at all, and by the end of that year Worcestershire finally knew he would not be seen in the cricket field again.

He had "married well" and his wife's private income may have played a part in his not playing again.

He was a sham amateur in the days of gentlemen and players.

1974

On Peggy's death in 1974 he returned to Neath, where he died.

In later life Walters had difficulty watching cricket because he believed its appeal could distract him from his business duties.
