Abe Waddington (1893–1959) was a professional
cricketer for
Yorkshire who played in two
Test matches for
England, both against
Australia in 1920–21. Between 1919 and 1927 he played 266
first-class cricket matches, taking a total of 852
wickets with his left arm
fast-medium bowling. Capable of making the ball
swing, Waddington was admired for the aesthetic quality of his
bowling action. He first played for Yorkshire after the First World War, when the team had been weakened by injuries and retirements. He was effective for Yorkshire, but often inconsistent. A hostile bowler, he sometimes verbally abused opposing batsmen and questioned umpires' decisions, unusual behaviour in those days, and was found guilty of dissent and inciting the crowd in a game against
Middlesex. A succession of injuries reduced his effectiveness and he retired from first-class cricket in 1927. He continued to play league cricket and worked for the family business, a fat-refining firm, but maintained his connection with Yorkshire cricket. After retiring from cricket he enjoyed some success as an amateur golfer. (
