Herbert Fenwick
Edit Profile
Career
His sole match for Canterbury came against Auckland in late March 1892, at a time when interprovincial matches were relatively rare (the Plunket Shield not yet having been established). In the second innings, he was promoted to open the batting with Frederick Harman, scoring another 17 runs. Earlier, he had caught two batsmen off the bowling of Herbert de Maus, including Auckland"s captain, John Fowke.
Fenwick"s older brother, Fairfax Frederick Fenwick, was also born in Denmark, and played cricket for Otago.
The Fenwicks, originally from Kingston upon Hull, had been in Scandinavia since the early 18th century, and Charles Fenwick had Danish and German ancestry through his mother.
