Bowley, who fully justified his reputation as a batsman and bowler",[7] and argued that Bowley be included in the next interstate game, stating "How often has a young player made his debut in senior cricket so conspicuously as Bowley did on Saturday last?"[8] With his batting featuring driving and cutting that "was a treat to watch"[8] and his bowling featuring "a fairly good length, (he) mixes his deliveries well, and occasionally sends down a fast, troublesome ball",[9] Bowley was said to have "the makings of a fine all-round cricketer" by the end of the 1914/15 season,[10] but any chance of playing interstate cricket was dashed by the cancellation of the Sheffield Shield due to World War I. Bowley continued to play for Port Adelaide during the 1915/16 season,[11] topping the club's bowling averages with eighteen wickets at ten.[12] Bowley returned to Clare at the end of the season and played for Clare during the 1916/17 season.[13] In the 1918/19 season, Bowley returned to Adelaide to play one match for Port Adelaide, scoring 23 and taking 3/70;[14] the local Port Adelaide News thought him to be the best of the Port Adelaide bowlers.[15] Unable to travel to Adelaide for matches as the local train service "did not fit in conveniently with his occupation,"[16] Bowley played for Clare in the 1920/21 season, leading one reporter to lament his absence from Adelaide cricket, considering Bowley as a possible Test cricketer.[17] After continuing outstanding form in country cricket and against Adelaide district clubs,[18] he continued to spark interest from the Adelaide media for his performances.[19] First-class cricketAfter initially being overlooked for South Australia's match against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Adelaide Oval, Bowley was included in the side following the withdrawal of Bill Whitty,[20] and made his first-class debut on 15 March 1923, aged 35, making 76 and 35, and taking what proved to be the only wicket of his first-class career, bowling Tom Lowry.[21] In the first innings, Bowley shared a fifth wicket partnership of 197 with Arthur Richardson; then a record fifth wicket partnership for South Australia against an English XI.[22] During the match, Bowley was injured in the Adelaide Oval luncheon room when Lowry attempted to open a soda water bottle, when it exploded and fragments of glass struck Bowley in the face, penetrating his upper lip.[23] For the 1923/24 season, Bowley returned to Adelaide to work for Holden[24] and play for the newly formed Kensington Cricket Club[9] and continued to be selected for interstate matches, making his highest first-class score of 192 against Queensland at the Adelaide Oval in December 1923.[25] opening the batting, Bowley hit nineteen boundaries in his 305-minute innings.[26] Bowley's subsequent performances were middling and he played his final match for South Australia in the 1924/25 season, against Victoria at the Adelaide Oval, making one and zero.[27] Although he continued to play well in district cricket, including 175 against Port Adelaide in the 1926/27 season,[28] he was never chosen by South Australia again and continued to play district cricket until his retirement in 1936, scoring 4675 runs for Port Adelaide and Kensington at 31.16 and taking 216 wickets at 22.08.[29] Personal lifeBowley married Minnie Lucy Trestrail on 17 October 1917 in Clare.[30][31] The eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Trestrail, Minnie was a Sunday School teacher who was heavily involved with local Methodist churches and played the piano and violin.[39] After leaving Holden, Bowley worked as a house painter and painted Donald Bradman's house.[32] Their daughter Dorothy Louise was born in Clare on 12 December 1918[33] and their son Bruce, who also played first-class cricket for South Australia,[1] was born at Blyth Private Hospital[34] in Blyth, South Australia[35] on 1 January 1922. Bowley's grandson Ian also played for and coached Kensington Cricket Club.[29] Minnie died on 4 February 1931, aged 44.[36] Bowley died on 2 April 1963, aged 75, in Adelaide, survived by his children.[37] See also
