In his obituary, the Wisden of 1991 described him as the greatest wicket-keeper-batsman of all time. He is the only wicket keeper- batsman to score hundred first class centuries. Early careerBorn in Elham, Kent, in 1905, he was mentored by Francis MacKinnon, an ex-county player who lived in the village and then, after leaving Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone, by Gerry Weigall, the county coach, who encouraged him to learn to keep wicket so he would have a better chance of playing for the county as an all-rounder.[1] He received the call to play for Kent while playing in West Malling and made his debut for Kent on 7 July 1926 against Warwickshire at the Nevill Ground in Royal Tunbridge Wells. He scored 35 and took 4 catches, even though Jack Hubble was wicket-keeper in that match. He played one more County Championship that season before becoming a regular in the 1927 season.[2] He went on the 1928–29 tour to Australia, but only played in several state matches. He made his debut for England in the Fifth Test against South Africa at The Oval on 17 August 1929, making a duck and taking 2 catches.[3] His cap number for England is 244.[4] Cricket careerIn Test cricket, Ames played 47 matches, scoring 2,434 runs with a batting average of 40.56, and taking 74 catches, and 23 stumpings. In first-class cricket, he scored 37,248 runs at an average of 43.51, including 102 centuries and 176 fifties, and took 704 catches and 417 stumpings. Unusually for a wicket-keeper, he also bowled over 200 overs, taking 24 first-class wickets with a bowling average of 33.37. Ames was the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1929. He holds a number of wicket-keeping and batting records:
He was the wicket-keeper for the infamous Bodyline tour of Australia in 1932-3. His cricketing career was interrupted by the Second World War, during which Ames served with the Royal Air Force rising to the rank of Squadron Leader. He returned to play as a batsman for Kent after the war. In the ICC Test Player Batting Rankings,[6] he was:
After his final playing season in 1951, Ames became a successful manager and administrator. He managed MCC tours to the West Indies in 1967–8 and Sri Lanka and Pakistan in 1968–9. He was also the first professional to be appointed as a selector in 1950, continuing until 1956 and serving again in 1958. He was the secretary and manager of Kent County Cricket Club, taking Kent to win the County Championship in 1970. Outside cricketAmes also briefly played football for Gillingham in 1931, making five appearances and scoring one goal,[7] having earlier played for Clapton Orient.
