William Dean (cricketer)
1928 births | english cricketers | somerset cricketersWilliam Henry Dean, born at Leeds, Yorkshire on November 25, 1928 was a cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in 1952.
Dean was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler. Along with fellow Yorkshireman Malcolm Walker, he was picked by Somerset for the match against the touring Indian side at County Ground, Taunton from 28 May 1952. Somerset batted first and reached 193 for eight wickets when Dean batted at No 10, joining all-rounder Johnny Lawrence, who had recommended him to the county. The pair put on 133 for the ninth wicket, only 13 short of the county side's then ninth wicket record, and Lawrence made an unbeaten 103, his first century after six years of county cricket. Dean made 21 before being bowled by Vijay Hazare.
Dickie Burrough
1909 births | 1994 deaths | english cricketers | somerset cricketersHerbert Dickinson "Dickie" Burrough, born at Wedmore, Somerset, on February 6, 1909, and died at Padstow, Cornwall, on April 9, 1994, played 171 first-class cricket matches for Somerset in a career that last for 20 years from 1927.
An amateur right-handed batsman who sometimes opened the innings, Burrough played fairly regular first-class cricket for Somerset in the early 1930s, making useful runs and fielding athletically. He was, said his obituary in Wisden, "notably enthusiastic". He had been at Cambridge University, but appeared there in only one trial match for "seniors", and never made the first-class cricket side. He was also passed over at Cambridge for hockey, failing to win his university Blue for the sport, though he later played three times for the England team.
Giles White
1972 births | english cricketers | hampshire cricketers | living people | somerset cricketersGiles White (born March 23, 1972) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-handed leg-break bowler, as well as being an occasional wicket-keeper. He started his first class career at Somerset, however, he is more noted for his career at Hampshire, where he played for eight years.
Though he started his career as early as 1989 with Devon, where he played in the Minor Counties Championship, even making a Finals appearance in his final year of 1992, and making his first-class debut against a team of Sri Lankans in 1991, which the tourists won despite a double century from Jimmy Cook, his first foray into the County Championship came in 1994, where he played for Hampshire until 2002, even sticking with the team beyond their year-long excursion into the Second Division in 2001.
